Fungi release wide spectrum of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that belong to several chemical groups with different biochemical origins such as monoterpenes, sesquiterpenes, alcohols, aldehydes, aromatic compounds, esters, furans, ketones, sulfur and nitrogen compounds. Trichoderma species are the most studied fungal biocontrol agents and are successfully used as biofungicides and biofertili...

OBJECTIVE Previous studies have been inconclusive whether dominant resting state alpha rhythms are greater or lower in amplitude in subjects with Down syndrome (DS) when compared to control subjects, ample resting alpha rhythms being considered as a reflection of good mechanisms of cortical neural synchronization. Here we tested the hypothesis that when the effects of head volume conduction are...

Beta-galactosidase (ß-D-galactoside galactohydrolase, EC 3.2.1.23), has tremendous potential in research and application in various fields like food, bioremediation, biosensor, diagnosis and treatment of disorders. The sources of the betagalactosidase are microorganisms, plants and animals. Microbial beta-galactosidase is of much interest because of their thermostability, thermoacidophilic and ...

Cell-free extracts of Bacillus megaterium form beta-cyanoalanine (beta-CNA)-(14)C from Na(14)CN and l-cysteine, O-acetyl-l-serine or, to a lesser extent, l-serine. However, the presence of cyanide in the growth medium does not increase the capacity of cell extracts to catalyze the formation of beta-CNA from cysteine and cyanide. The formation of beta-CNA is readily detected in extracts of cells...

We present deep ALMA dust continuum observations for a sample of luminous ($M_{\rm UV} < -22$) star-forming galaxies at $z \simeq 7$. detect five the six sources in far-infrared (FIR), providing key constraints on obscured star-formation rate (SFR) and infrared-excess-$\beta$ (IRX-$\beta$) relation without need stacking. Despite showing blue rest-frame UV slopes ($\beta -2$) we find that 35-75 ...

Escherichia coli isolates from various sources 2018 to 2019 were included in the study. Mcr-1 genes found two of 105 animal strains (2%) and seven 928 human (0.8%). All mcr-1-positive showed a low level resistance colistin (MIC ranged 4 8 µg/ml). Both isolated animals remained sensitive betalactam antibiotics did not contain beta-lactamase genes. Beta-lactamases absent only one humans. Four res...

» Isolation and cultivation of pancreas stem cells as renewable sources of beta cells would be a major breakthrough. . . « Diabetes mellitus is a disorder resulting from lack of either production or action of insulin signalling. It affects more than 200 million people worldwide. There is no cure for diabetes and the patients rely on exogenous supply of insulin and/or oral use of hypoglycemic su...

Allergy-preventive activity was demonstrated for the MeOH extract (HM) of the petals of Hibiscus mutabilis L. 'versicolor' MAKINO in a continuing search for allergy-preventive substances from natural sources, using the in vivo assay method. This assay system uses monitoring of a decrease in the blood flow at the tail vein of mice subjected to hen egg-white lysozyme (HEL) sensitization. By bioas...
