Recently, many possible roles of non-thermal plasma (NTP) has been reported, representing the plasma as a novel tool in the field of dermatology. Unlike other light-based devices, multi-functional elements within the plasma including UVs, ions, reactive oxygen species drives many biological effect of the plasma, such as blood coagulation stimulation, anti-cancer activity and powerful killing ef...

Fusarium is a large and diverse genus of fungi of great agricultural and economic importance, containing many plant pathogens and mycotoxin producers. To date, high-throughput sequencing of Fusarium communities has been limited by the lack of genus-specific primers targeting regions with high discriminatory power at the species level. In the present study, we evaluated two Fusarium-specific pri...

Molecular phylogenetic analyses of ITS-LSU rDNA sequence data demonstrate that Melanconis species occurring on Juglandaceae are phylogenetically distinct from Melanconis s.str., and therefore the new genus Juglanconis is described. Morphologically, the genus Juglanconis differs from Melanconis by light to dark brown conidia with irregular verrucae on the inner surface of the conidial wall, whil...

One gene coding for yeast cytoplasmic elongation factor 1 alpha (EF-1 alpha) was isolated by colony hybridization using a cDNA probe prepared from purified EF-1 alpha mRNA. A recombinant plasmid, pLB1, with a 6-kilobase yeast DNA insert, was found by hybrid selection and translation experiments to carry the entire gene. The nucleotide sequence of the gene with its 5'- and 3'-flanking regions wa...

Species in Phellinus s.s. are some of the most important wood-decaying fungal pathogens in northern temperate forests, yet data on species incidence in North America remains limited. Therefore, phylogenetic analyses were performed using four loci (ITS, nLSU, tef1 and rpb2) with isolates representing 13 species. Results of phylogenetic analyses using maximum likelihood and Bayesian inference rev...

Background: Partnership with local head villages to deliver maternal and child health (MCH) education is considered necessary, as the availability of professional limited in rural remote area. While could be viewed credible, they have rarely been involved a communicator their villages.
 Objective: This study aimed analyze difference knowledge level heads family (husband) after attending MC...

In most living organisms, isocitrate dehydrogenases (IDHs) convert isocitrate into ɑ-ketoglutarate (ɑ-KG). Phylogenetic analyses divide the IDH protein family into two subgroups: types I and II. Based on cofactor usage, IDHs are either NAD+-specific (NAD-IDH) or NADP+-specific (NADP-IDH); NADP-IDH evolved from NAD-IDH. Type I IDHs include NAD-IDHs and NADP-IDHs; however, no type II NAD-IDHs hav...
