Lectins are non-enzymic carbohydrate binding proteins present in plants, bacteria, fungi, and animals, which preferentially bind reversibly to specific carbohydrate structures whether free in solution or on cell surfaces and play important role in cell recognition. Sclerotium rolfsii, a soil borne plant pathogenic fungus capable of forming fruiting bodies referred to as sclerotial bodies, secre...

Efforts to improve food security in Indonesia, especially Bali, need be supported by improvements cultivation techniques, including the management of pests and diseases. Legume crops are often attacked stem rot diseases which can cause decreased production economic losses. This disease is generally caused soil-borne pathogenic fungus Sclerotium rolfsii or Athelia rolfsii. The macroscopic micros...

metallic silver nanoparticles have been reduced from silver nitrate by employing the extracellular enzymatic machinery of edible white button mushroom (agaricus bisporus). the physical properties of these particles, size and shapes have been determined using techniques like tem, ftir and xrd and were reported in our earlier report. but, what stands of paramount importance in the present context...
