Effects of induced mutation via gamma irradiated with 250 Gy dose (in Nuclear Agriculture Research School- Nuclear Science and Technology Research Institute) on Trichoderma harzianum conidiaon chitinase activity by STS molecular marker have been evaluated in this study. Among 20 irradiated mutants which selected via improved antagonistic capability against Rhizoctonia sola...

In this study, mutant forms of Bacillus thuringiensis spp. israelensis (H14) were produced. These mutants were identified when the cells were cultured on chloramphenicol plates and stained with crystal violet. Protoplasts of the mutants were isolated by enzymatic digestion (lysozyme) of the cell walls at the presence of an osmotic stabilizer. The protoplasts were induced to fuse to each other i...

Leaf senescence constitutes the last stage of leaf development in plants and proceeds through a highly regulated program in order to redistribution of micro- and macro-nutrients from the senescing leaves to the developing/growing plant organs. Initiation and progression of leaf senescence is accompanied by massive sequential alterations at various levels of leaf biology including leaf morpholog...

In this paper, we present a solution for the TTC 2010 model migration case study. Firstly, we ...

Using a mouse monoclonal antibody (mAb) (“2D4”) with high specific reactivity to Hb Bart’s and a rabbit polyclonal antibody (“RPB”) with high reactivity to Hb Bart’s but low reactivity to HbF, an ELISA assay was developed for the quantification of Hb Bart’s in hemolysates of peripheral blood. In the preliminary study, hemoglobin solutions containing 4,000 μg/mL of hemoglobin were analyzed for t...

abstract mutations have been described in all of the four open reading frames of the hepatitis b virus (hbv), however, from a clinical perspective the surface escape mutant is the most troublesome. hepatitis b surface antigen (hbsag) variants may impair diagnosis, or allow the virus to escape vaccine-induced immunity or passive immunoglobulin therapy. hbv mutants with amino acid substitutions, ...

Background: Ciprofloxacin induces SOS response and mutagenesis by activation of UmuD’2C (DNA polymerase V) DinB IV) in Escherichia coli, leading to antibiotic resistance during therapy. Inactivation DNA V can result the inhibition E. coli. Objectives: The aim this research was investigate effect UmuC inactivation on ciprofloxacin coli mutants. Methods: Ciprofloxacin-resistant mutants were produ...

background: tubulin protein being the fundamental unit of microtubules is actively involved in cell division thus making them a potential anti-cancer drug target. in spite of many reported drugs against tubulin, few of them have started developing resistance in human β-tubulin due to amino acid substitutions. methods: in this study we generated three mutants (f270v, a364t and q292e) using model...

background and aims: one of the most common chronic diseases in the world is tooth decay. a variety of bacteria are involved in this disorder of which streptococcus mutants is the most common. essential oils are considered as new natural compounds for use in combating drug-resistant bacteria. this study was aimed to evaluate the antibacterial activity of some essential oils prepared from eucaly...

objective(s): the major antibiotic efflux pump of esherichia coli is acrab-tolc. the first part of the pump, acrab, is encoded by acrab operon. the expression of this operon can be kept elevated by overexpression of an activator, mara following inactivation of marr and acrr repressors due to mutation in encoding genes, marr and acrr, respectively. the aims of this research were to use e. coli m...
