BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Seborrheic dermatitis (SD) is a frequent disorder of the skin that is distinguished by the development of erythematous patches and yellow-gray scales. It is a multifactor disease that requires predisposing factors for its progress. Presence of these factors leads to reproduction of opportunistic yeast Malassezia spp. The aim of the present study was to isolate and ident...

Hoagland solution was used to determine the root morphology properties of Rorippa globosa (Turcz.) Thell. and Rorippa palustris (Leyss.) Bess. Under the conditions of Cd spiked at 2.5 and 5 mg kg(-1), R. globosa showed all hyperaccumulative characteristics and was a Cd-hyperaccumulator. In contrast, R. palustris was a non-hyperaccumulator. The total root lengths, total root surface areas and to...

Dandruff is a common problem in both teens and adults. This study to evaluate the role of bacteria fungi associated with dandruff seborrheic dermatitis. Malassezia furfur (70%) was predominant isolate, followed by globosa (30%) which included mixed infection (15%) M. together adding as significant causative agents (p < 0.00001) compared healthy teens. A qualitative in-vitro susceptibility perfo...

Malassezia yeasts are part of the resident cutaneous microbiota, and are also associated with skin diseases such as seborrheic dermatitis (SD). The role these fungi play in skin diseases and why they are pathogenic for only some individuals remain unclear. This study aimed to characterize Malassezia microbiota from different body sites in healthy and SD subjects from Brazil. Scalp and forehead ...

conclusions this study showed m. globosa to be the most common malassezia species isolated from malassezia skin disorders in kashan, iran. the pcr-rflp method was useful in the rapid identification of the malassezia species. by using these methods, the detection and identification of individual malassezia species from clinical samples was substantially easier. patients and methods a total of 14...

Phaeocystis globosa blooms have frequently occurred along coastal waters and exerted serious impacts on ecological environments by releasing toxic hemolytic substances, forming nuisance foam, and causing oxygen depletion. An actinomycete strain RPS with high algicidal activity against P. globosa was isolated and identified as Streptomyces alboflavus, based on morphology, physiological and bioch...

The biological control of the root-knot nematode, Meloidogyne hapla, was evaluated through the addition of organic amendments of dry and chopped leaves of Buddleja globosa, Drymis winteri, Eucalyptus globulus,...

Phaeocystis globosa blooms can have negative effects on higher trophic levels in the marine ecosystem and consequently influence human activities. Strain KA22, identified as the bacterium Hahella, was isolated from coastal surface water and used to control P. globosa growth. A methanol extract from the bacterial cells showed strong algicidal activity. After purification, the compound showed a s...

Cadmium (Cd) pollution around the world is a serious issue demanding acceptable solutions, one of which is phytoremediation that is both cost-effective and eco-friendly. Removal of Cd from contaminated water using plants with high growth rates and sufficient Cd accumulation abilities could be an appropriate choice. Here, we investigated a potential Cd accumulator, Wolffia, a rootless duckweed w...

Pterospartum tridentatum (L.) Willk., Gomphrena globosa L. and Cymbopogon citratus (DC) Stapf. are examples of medicinal plants with antioxidant properties on their own, but that can be improved when mixed. In the present work, the antioxidant activity and phenolic compounds were determined in the infusions prepared from the individual plants, and from mixtures of these plants in different prop...
