Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPotential of Fig Leaf (Ficus carica L.) as Immunomodulatory Agent in vitro and in SilicoAnita Dewi, Fitri Rahmayanti, Haidar Bagir et al.Natural remedies are increasingly being used as alternatives to conventional medicine, and their popularity is growing. The fig plant (Ficus carica L.), which is known to contain secondary metabolites such as alkaloids, flavonoids, phenolics, terpenoids, steroids, and saponins, has the potential to act as an immunomodulator. The purpose of this study was to determine the content of flavonoid compounds based … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 23, Issue 1 · 19 Jan 2023 · 6,232 accessesView PDFCite
Literature ReviewOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Postharvest and Industrial Processing on Glucosinolate from Broccoli: A ReviewZhen-Xing TangGlucosinolate, is a kind of bioactive sulfur-containing secondary metabolites, which are mainly distributed in cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower turnip and radish. In recent years, Glucosinolate has been widely studied for its anticancer and cardiovascular activities. The types and contents of Glucosinolate in broccoli are related to many factors, such as the cultivars, growth environment and stages, postharvest … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 18, Issue 2 · 20 Apr 2022 · 6,058 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractELISA-Based Development of Functional Antibodies for the Efficient Detection of Mycotoxigenic Fusarium (F. oxysporum and F. circinatum) and Diplodia (D. pinea) SpeciesPhumzile Mkhize, Phetole MangenaFusarium contains the most toxigenic and important fungal pathogens, producing a wide range of mycotoxins that include the more toxic secondary metabolites called fumonisins. This study analyzed the presence of common exo- and mycelium-soluble antigens, purified proteins using reducing SDS-PAGE and the expression of antibodies against different fungal pathogens. The results showed the presence of common antigens between pathogens and … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 16, Issue 4 · 18 Nov 2020 · 6,601 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDiosgenin Biosynthesis in the Sprouts of Fenugreek as Influenced by ChitosanDo Yeon Kwon, Jae Kwang Kim, Sang Un ParkTrigonella foenum-graecum L. (Fabaceae), known as Fenugreekis an annual herb, contains various secondary metabolites including steroidal saponins, flavonoids, phenolic compounds and alkaloids. This study was planned to investigate the effect of concentrations of chitosan on growth, expression of diosgenin biosynthetic genes and diosgenin accumulation in sprouts of T. foenum-graecum. Results revealed that there is no positive response of chitosan in … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 19, Issue 2 · 2 May 2019 · 7,518 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Cocoa Pod Husk Compost Produced Using Rot Fungi on the Growth of Cocoa SeedlingsLaode Asrul, Iradhatullah Rahim, Tutik Kuswinanti et al.Rot fungi have the ability to decompose organic materials into simple compounds or elements as nutrients for plants. In the process, rot fungi produce secondary metabolites and absorb phosphate from their substrates so that the phosphate become available to plants. The purpose of this study was to identify the species of rot fungi isolated from decaying cocoa stems and to … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 18, Issue 1 · 3 Feb 2018 · 8,501 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEnhancing Astragaloside Production in Astragalus membranaceus through Growth Media and AuxinsYun Ji Park, Jae Kwang Kim, Sang Un ParkThe secondary metabolites of triterpenoid saponins, isoflavonoids and polysaccharides are present in Astragalus membranaceus those are biologically active. Astragalosides are a major group of identified compounds that have various pharmacological properties. The present study was considered to enhance astragaloside biosynthesis in hairy root cultures of A. membranaceus by using different growth media and concentrations of different auxins. Our findings revealed … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 18, Issue 2 · 25 Jan 2018 · 7,884 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIsolation and Identification of Staphylococcus epidermidis S14 Screening Extracellular Antimicrobial MetabolitesJie Zhang, Han Jiang, Jiaxin Jiang, Guangrong HuangTotal 24 isolates with antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Bacillus cereus and Shigella castellani, out of 259 strains, were isolated from the internal of seven marine fishes. The extracellular metabolites of strain S14, isolated from the internal of shark, showed stronger inhibition against the four tested bacteria, including G- and G+ bacteria. Based on the 16S rDNA the … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 12, Issue 1 · 19 Mar 2016 · 7,567 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCOPPER STRESS ON CELLULAR CONTENTS AND FATTY ACID PROFILES IN CHLORELLA SPECIESG. Sibi, T.S. Anuraag, Geeta BafilaHigher photosynthetic efficiency and biomass production with rapid growth makes microalgae as potential candidates over other energy crops in many applications. Heavy metals influence the production of secondary metabolites and lipd content of microalgae in particular. A study was conducted using six Chlorella species under heavy metal exposure to evaluate the copper stress on biomass, cellular and lipid contents.

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEnhancement of Nutritional Quality of Wheat (Triticum aestivum) by Metabolic Engineering of Isoflavone PathwayAhmed Mohamed El-Shehawi, Abdelmegid Ibrahim Fahmi, Mona Mohamed Elseehy, Hesham Ahmed NagatyIsoflavones are large group of secondary metabolites produced in legumes such as soybeans. They have essential biological functions as nutraceutical and health functions for human. They are involved in plant resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses, symbiotic relationship with nitrogen-fixing organisms and plant competition (allelopathy). In this report, isoflavonoids were expressed in wheat (Triticum aestivum) via introducing the key enzymes … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 20 Dec 2013 · 7,135 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBIOCHEMICAL, NUTRIENT AND INHIBITORY CHARACTERISTICS OF STREPTOMYCES CULTURED FROM A HYPERSALINE ESTUARY, THE LAGUNA MADRE (TEXAS)Luis E. Espinoza, Anita L. Davelos Baines, Kristine L. LoweStreptomyces are common soil bacteria that produce secondary metabolites, including several antibiotics; however, the characteristics of marine Streptomyces are largely unknown.
