Hexane, chloroform, methanol, chloroform: methanol (2:1 v/v) and petroleum ether extracts of Turbinaria conoides from the coast of Mandapam were tested in vitro for their antibacterial activities against Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhi, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Proteus mirabilis with the disc diffusion method. Petroleum ether was the best solution for extracting the ...

OBJECTIVE In vitro antioxidant activities of three selected Indian seaweeds viz., Halimeda tuna (H. tuna), Turbinaria conoides (T. conoides) and Gracilaria foliifera (G. foliifera) were evaluated. METHODS Total antioxidant activity, total phenolic content, and reducing power of crude methanol and diethyl ether extracts were determined. RESULTS Total phenolic content and total antioxidant ac...

Seventeen saccharides were tested for their ability to bind to the trap lectins of three species of nematode-trapping fungi and prevent nematode capture. The lectin of Arthrobotrys conoides was found to be inhibited by alpha-d-glucose/d-mannose and similar saccharides. The lectins of Monacrosporium eudermatum and Monacrosporium rutgeriensis were inhibited by alpha-l-fucose and 2-deoxy-d-glucose...

One of the riches earth that can be found in sea is brown macroalgae (seaweed). Brown has various pro-perties such as having antibacterial and antifungal properties. type commonly Indonesia Turbinaria conoides. T.conoides been studied for its many benefits, including relieving fever children, insect repellent, fertilizer, also an agent. The components extract were investiga-ted to able inhibit ...

culture filtrates (cf) of two species of the nematophagous fungi, arthrobotrys oligospora and arthrobotrys conoidesat three concentrations (25%, 50% and 100%) of stock, were tested on the mortality of second stage juveniles (j2) and egg hatching rate of meloidogyne incognita and meloidogyne javanica. results showed that the percent juvenile mortality was directly proportional to concentration o...

BACKGROUND Biological control of gastrointestinal nematodes of ruminants by use of nematophagous fungi would become part of any livestock parasite integral control system. Identifying autochthonous species that could then be selected for mass production is an important phase in the practical use of biological control. AIMS To search for nematophagous fungi with potential use as biological con...

Extraction and isoenzyme analysis of four isolates of Arthrobotrys including A. musiformis, A. robusta and A. conoides were conducted. Among the 14 enzymes studied by starch gel electrophoresis, using morpholine-citrate as gel/electrode buffer, the following nine enzymes showed interpretable banding patterns: alpha-esterase, fumarase, hexokinase, isocitrate dehydrogenase, leucine aminopeptidase...

The coastal water of Aboru village is one site with high diversity marine biological resources such as brown algae. purpose this study was to determine the morphological character algae Turbinaria from Village. procedure consists field collection, and observations in laboratory. characters observed were presence/absence rhizoid/holdfast, cauloid/stipe, phylloid/blades, pyrenoid/vesicle (air bub...
