Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHypoglycaemic Effects of Dietary Intake of Ripe and Unripe Lycopersicon esculentum (Tomatoes) on Streptozotocin-Induced Diabetes Mellitus in RatsA. M. Akinnuga, O. Bamidele, O. A. Ebunlomo et al.Ripe and unripe tomatoes have been implicated in prevention of chronic diseases such as cancer probably due to their antioxidant, antibiotic, antifungal and anti-inflammatory properties. Problem statement: This study was designed to investigate whether ripe and unripe tomatoes will have hypoglycaemic effect in a chronic disease such as diabetes mellitus that has been characterized with hyperglycaemia. Approach: Twenty albino Wistar … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 24 Mar 2010 · 8,764 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractScreening of Actinomycete Isolates from Niche Habitats in Manipur for Antibiotic ActivityDebananda S. Ningthoujam, Suchitra Sanasam, Salam NimaichandProblem statement: The exhaustion of the usual terrestrial sources and the rise of resistant pathogens dictate the search for novel actinomycetes and new antibiotics. In this context, niche habitats such as caves, pristine forests, lakes, rivers, and other wetlands, high salt environments, marine ecosystems and endophytic niches are promising targets for survey of bioactive actinomycetes. Approach: Actinomycetes were isolated from … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 7,765 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Morphological, Biochemical and Biological Studies of Halophilic Streptomyces sp. Isolated from Saltpan EnvironmentDeepika T. Lakshmipathy, Krishnan KannabiranProblem statement: Dermatophytes have developed resistance to the existing antifungal antibiotics. As a part of our continuous search we had isolated, identified and characterized actinomycetes from the halophilic environment having antagonistic activity against the dermatophytes namely Trichophyton, Microsporum and Epidermophyton. Approach: Actinomycetes were isolated from the soil sample collected from the Ennore saltpan region, Chennai, India and screened for antidermatophytic … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2009 · 7,735 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFatal Pulmonary Hemorrhage Through Fiberoptic Broncoscopy in a Well Controlled Diabetic Female With MucormycosisP. Di Carlo, D. Cabibi, A. Mazzola et al.A rare case of invasive pulmonary mucormycosis complicated by fatal massive haemoptysis through bronchoscopy in a patient with a well controlled diabetes is reported. Histological features of infection are reported and the characteristic aspects of the staining are discussed. Fiberoptic bronchoscopy revealed bilateral obstruction of the segmental bronchi and fatal massive bleeding occurring because of biopsy sampling. Caution is warranted … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2008 · 7,184 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractControl of Anthracnose Caused by Colletotrichum musae on Curcuma alismatifolia Gagnep. Using Antagonistic Bacillus spp.Supuk Mahadtanapuk, Mondhon Sanguansermsri, Robert W. Cutler et al.Over 400 bacterial strains, isolated from leaf surfaces of Curcuma alismatifolia Gagnep. and hot springs in the Chiang Mai province of northern Thailand, were screened in vitro for antagonistic activity against Colletotrichum musae, an anthracnose fungus. Three isolates provided greater than 75% growth inhibition of the fungus in vitro and were identified as Bacillus licheniformis, B. amyloliquefaciens and B. subtilis. … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2007 · 9,005 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractProduction, Yield and Derivatives of Volatile Oils from Eastern Redcedar (Juniperus Virginiana L.)Elif Semen, Salim HizirogluEastern redcedar (Juniperus virginiana L.) is one of the most widely distributed indigenous conifers in southern states including Oklahoma, Arkansas and Texas. Eastern redcedar is also an important source of the volatile oils. This specie adversely influences the environment resulting in degrading grassland, displacement of native plant population and increasing wildlife hazard. Range-grown eastern redcedar has a poor quality. However, … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 6,754 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBioprospection of Endophytic Bacteria Isolated from Mangrove Ecosystems and their Potential Biotechnological ApplicationsAlfian Mubaraq, Mariani Sembiring et al.The unique mangrove ecosystem hosts a variety of microorganism activities, including the crucial role of endophytic bacteria. Microorganisms found in mangrove forests play an important role in maintaining the biosphere by uniting various living beings and can be vital for future biotechnological applications. The use of microorganisms in the field of biotechnology is prevalent for producing antimicrobials against pathogenic bacteria … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 24, Issue 4 · 16 Aug 2024 · 4,996 accessesView PDFCite
