One of the main constraints in Aloe vera production is poor information about optimum nutrients that are helpful for growth and production. The objective of this study was to optimize nutrient solution for Aloe vera cultivation in soilless culture. Therefore, to determine the best nutrients the experiment was conducted in a greenhouse during 2011 in the Agricultural Faculty, University of Guila...

Washed vegetative cells of Bacillus mycoides obtained and treated under specified conditions have been found to sporulate when shaken in distilled water under specified conditions. Within limitations of the methods, a heat-resistant cell (spore) is produced for each heat-sensitive vegetative cell present initially. Several different experiments designed to detect massive lysis and cell growth d...

In haploid Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the mating and invasive growth (IG) pathways use the same mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase kinase (MAPKKKK, Ste20), MAPKKK (Ste11), MAPKK (Ste7), and transcription factor (Ste12) to promote either G(1) arrest and fusion or foraging in response to distinct stimuli. This exquisite specificity is the result of pathway-specific receptors, G protein...

Compatibility of the entomopathogenic fungus, Metarhizium anisopliae with representative pesticides, plant oils and a fungal antagonist were studied in vitro. The pesticides tested were: endosulfan, acephate, abamectin, ethion, chlorothalonil, iprodion + carbendazim, thiophanate methyl and dinocap, an antagonist, Trichoderma harzianum and the plant oils: coconut oil, groundnut oil, gingili oil,...

The principal phospholipids of Bacillus megaterium throughout the cycle of growth and sporulation were found to be phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, and a hitherto unidentified isomer of glycosaminyl-phosphatidylglycerol. Phosphatidylglycerol predominated during vegetative cell growth and then declined as spores developed, whereas diphosphatidylglycerol bec...

Resistance to 6-methylpurine and cycloheximide has been induced in both the micronucleate species Tetrahymena thermophila and the amincronucleate species T. pyriformis. Resistance follows only after mutagen treatment and vegetative growth. The frequencies with which resistant variants are induced and the independence of mutagenesis and selection are demonstrated. All evidence is consistent with...
