halophilic bacteria grow over a wide range of salt concentrations. in this study we aimed to isolate and screen out the halophilic bacteria and to determine their activity for production of the bioactive compounds. a total of 50 water, sediments and soil samples were collected from maharlu salt lake in southern region of fars-iran and subjected for isolation of the bioactive compound producing ...

objective(s):the current study was aimed to determine the bioactive constituents and biological effects of the crataegus monogyna ethanolic extracts from bark, leaves and berries on hypercholesterolemia. materials and methods: oleanolic acid, ursolic acid, quercetin and lupeol concentrations were quantified by hplc. total phenol content and radical scavenging activity of extracts were also meas...

this study was carried out to investigate impacts of myrobalan rootstock and blackthorn interstem on fruit growth, physico-chemical features and bioactive compounds of two apricot cultivars (‘harcot’ and ‘roksana’) in 2010 and 2011. fruits of both cultivars on myrobalan and/or blackthorn grew with a classic double sigmoid curve from full bloom time to harvest. during growth and development peri...

the purpose of this research was to study the antimicrobial activities of the endophytic fungi from sesbania grandiflora (l.) pers. the endophytic fungi were isolated from branches and leaves of sesbania grandiflora (l.) pers., and sixty nine isolates were obtained. all isolates were screened for antibacterial and antifungal activities. the indicator organisms were 4 bacteria including staphylo...

background and objectives: in the present study, isolation of streptomyces associated with marine sponges and its bioactive potential against fish and shellfish pathogens were assessed. the streptomyces sp. were isolated from the marine sponges namely callyspongia diffusa, mycale mytilorum, tedania anhelans and dysidea fragilis collected from vizhinjam port, situated in the south-west coast of ...

microorganisms are important components of soil. some soil filamentous fungi such aspenicilium produce many bioactive small molecules, or secondary metabolites, that range frombeneficial bioactive compounds to harmful toxins. in this study, the metabolites of threepenicillium species (p. goditanum, p. moldavicum and p. corylophilum) were extracted byadding ethyl acetate to liquid cultures. the ...

Background: Cyanobacteria have a worldwide distribution in the terrestrial habitats, occurring predominantly on the surface of the soils, stones, rocks, and trees, practically in moist, neutral or alkaline aeries. The unique natural and bioactive compounds from cyanobacteria with various biological activities and an extensive range of chemical classes have a significant capabil...

Background: Agaricus bisporus is an edible basidiomycete fungus. Both the body and the mycelium contain compounds comprising a wide range of antimicrobial molecules, contributing in improvement of immunity and tumor-retardation. Objectives: The presence of endophytes capable of producing bioactive compounds was investigated in Agaricus bisporus. Materials and Methods: Endophytes from Agaricus b...
