Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCloning and Functional Analysis of tri14 in Trichoderma brevicompactumXu-Ping Shentu, Xiao-Feng Yuan, Wei-Ping Liu et al.Trichodermin, one of the trichothecenes, is a potential antifungal antibiotic and a protein synthesis inhibitor. Trichodermin is synthesized mainly by Trichoderma brevicompactum, but the biosynthetic pathway has yet been completely elucidated. Our earlier transcriptome assay on the trichodermin synthesis in T. brevicompactum 0248 identified a unique tri14 transcript, designated Tbtri14, that was co-regulated with other tri cluster genes. However, the … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 11, Issue 3 · 25 Aug 2015 · 7,393 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAntibacterial Activity of Lotus Leaves (Nelumbo Nucifera) Against Food-Borne PathogensJianxin Chen, Changyin Wang, Xiaotian Chen et al.The antibacterial activity of different solvent extracts from lotus leaves against four food-borne bacteria (Escherichiacoli, Salmonellatyphimurium, Staphyloccocusaureus, Bacillussubtilis) was analyzed by agar diffusion method and the ethanol extract of the plant was found to have the highest antimicrobial activity with the diameter of inhibition zones ranging from 17.2 to 17.8 mm. Then the ethanol extract of lotus leaves were further … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 18 Nov 2014 · 10,152 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBioautography Guided Identification of Anticandidal Compounds from A. terreus st. 1B. K. Nagaraja, R. Sripathy, C. N. Ramchand, M. SundararamanProblem statement: Saprophytic and soil inhabiting microorganisms are prolific producers of secondary metabolites with wide range of structural and functional diversity. The objective of the current study was to screen and evaluate the anti-candidal properties of soil inhabiting fungi. Approach: Preliminary dual culture assay and bioautography was used to screen the fungi with potential anti-fungal activity and direct detection of … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 1 Dec 2011 · 7,629 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSynthesis, Characterization and Biological Activities of Organotin (IV) Methylcyclohexyldithiocarbamate CompoundsNormah Awang, Ibrahim Baba, Bohari M. Yamin et al.Problem statement: The growing interest in the chemistry of sulphur donor ligands are due to their encouraging anticancer, antibacterial and antifungal activities as well as their widespread industrial application. Dithiocarbamates belong to this class and much attention has been paid to them. Approach: Novel organotin compounds with the molecular formula RmSn[S2CN(CH3)(C6H11)]4-m (where m = 2, R = CH3, C2H5; m … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 18 Apr 2011 · 9,210 accessesView PDFCite
