Aim: To determine the effects subjecting Bacillus subtilis to different cultural conditions will have on crude Bacitracin produced in inhibiting growth of known susceptible organisms. Method: be a bacitracin producer was isolated from soil and identified. The isolate used produce under various culture with peptone water serving as basal fermentation medium. resultant checked for its antimicrobi...

Background: One of the most common causes of infertility in women is ovulatory dysfunction (PCOS) and the choice of treatment is clomiphene citrate. One of the mechanism of dichotomy between the rate of ovulation and pregnancy is anti estrogenic effects of clomiphene citrate on endometrium. According to its long half life, the anti estrogenic effects probably exacerbate in consecutive cycles. W...

Fruits and vegetables are known to possess health benefits: indeed, they contain a large number of bioactive molecules with a positive impact on human health. Dietary proteins possess specific biological properties which make these components potential ingredients of functional or health-promoting foods. Many of these properties are attributed to physiologically-active peptides encrypted in pro...

In this study, the effects of various concentrations of NaCl and KCl and partial replacement of NaCl withKCl on the growth characteristics of L. monocytogenes were evaluated. It was found that L. monocytogenescan grow in the presence of 1-9% NaCl and 1-11% KCl. The higher the concentration of salt used, the longerthe lag phase induced. In addition, it was observed that L. monocytogenes tolerate...

With the rising awareness of microbial exopolysaccharides (EPSs) application in various fields, halophilic microorganisms which produce EPSs have received broad attention. A newly identified Kocuria rosea ZJUQH CCTCC M2016754 was determined to be a moderate halobacterium on account of its successful adaption to the environment containing 10% NaCl. The optimal combination of fermentation medium ...

The aggregation of 12 nm citrate-stabilized gold nanoparticles (cit-AuNPs) in the presence of four different natural organic matter (NOM) isolates and a monovalent electrolyte (KCl) was evaluated using time-resolved dynamic light scattering. All four NOM isolates stabilized the cit-AuNPs with respect to aggregation. However, specific effects varied among the different NOM isolates. At pH = 6 in...

in this study, the effects of various concentrations of nacl and kcl and partial replacement of nacl withkcl on the growth characteristics of l. monocytogenes were evaluated. it was found that l. monocytogenescan grow in the presence of 1-9% nacl and 1-11% kcl. the higher the concentration of salt used, the longerthe lag phase induced. in addition, it was observed that l. monocytogenes tolerate...

Objective(s) Sildenafil citrate is a new drug and has special properties that bring about nitric oxide effects on vascular smooth muscle. The aim of this study was to assess the effects of ovarian stimulation and sildenafil citrate injection on pinopode expression in mice. Materials and Methods Thirty adult female mice were randomly divided into three groups: control, hyperstimulated and hyp...
