a completely randomized design (crd) with three replications was conducted at greenhouse of urmia university in 2013 to study the effect of different methyl jasmonate concentrations (0, 0.1 and 0.5 mm) on the activity of enzymes polyphenol oxidase, phenylalanine ammonia lyase, catalase, ascorbate peroxidase, guaiacol peroxidase and total protein content in basil. activity of the enzymes and tot...

In light of the continued threat antimicrobial-resistant bacteria, new strategies to expand repertoire antimicrobial compounds are necessary. Prodrugs an underexploited strategy in this effort. Here, we report on enhanced activity a prodrug toward bacteria having enzyme capable its activation. A screen led us sulfurol ester antibiotic trans-3-(4-chlorobenzoyl)acrylic acid. An endogenous esteras...

protein-rich hydrolysate from feather waste was obtained using a mixed culture of selected thermophilic actinomycete strains, and was tested for possible application as soil amendment and biological control agent. for this purpose, a 4 months laboratory experiment was carried out using two types of urban soils (sofia, bulgaria): native park soil and anthropogenic soil. the effect of the obtaine...

The filamentous fungus Aspergillus fumigatus produces a variety of enzymes and toxins that may facilitate fungal colonization of tissue and evasion of the host immune response. One such toxin, fumagillin, was investigated for its ability to inhibit the action of neutrophils, which are a central component of the innate immune response to microbial infection. Neutrophils exposed to 2 microg fumag...

Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) from the retrovirus family can trigger opportunistic diseases of immune system or AIDS. In these conditions fails due to infection with bacteria, protozoa, fungi, and other viruses. HIV-1 has several enzymes consisting reverse transcriptase (RT), integrase (INT), & protease (PR), all which play an important role in replication process. Reverse pla...
