The Antibacterial Activity of Coriolus versicolor Methanol Extract and Its Effect on Ultrastructural Changes of Staphylococcus aureus and Salmonella Enteritidis
(Frontiers Media Sa, Lausanne, 2016)
The antibacterial activity of methanol extract obtained from fruiting body of industrially grown basidiomycete Coriolus versicolor was examined. The Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) values against various bacteria ...
LsbB Bacteriocin Interacts with the Third Transmembrane Domain of the YvjB Receptor
(Amer Soc Microbiology, Washington, 2016)
The Zn-dependent membrane-located protease YvjB has previously been shown to serve as a target receptor for LsbB, a class II leaderless lactococcal bacteriocin. Although yvjB is highly conserved in the genus Lactococcus, ...
The Effects of Aphid Traits on Parasitoid Host Use and Specialist Advantage
(Public Library Science, San Francisco, 2016)
Specialization is a central concept in ecology and one of the fundamental properties of parasitoids. Highly specialized parasitoids tend to be more efficient in host-use compared to generalized parasitoids, presumably owing ...
The influence of mechanical activation on the electrical properties of Ba0.77Sr0.23TiO3 ceramics
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2014)
Ferroelectric barium strontium titanate (Ba0.77Sr0.23TiO3), BST, was prepared by solid-state reactions using as the starting compounds powder of barium carbonate (BaCO3), strontium carbonate (SrCO3) and titanium dioxide ...
Clarification of red raspberry juice using microfiltration with gas backwashing: A viable strategy to maximize permeate flux and minimize a loss of anthocyanins
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2013)
Red raspberry (Rubus idaeus) juice was produced by maceration of raspberry pulp at 50 degrees C for 2 h using 400 mg kg(-1) Klerzyme (R) 150 enzymatic pectolitic preparation followed by raw juice clarification with gelatin ...
Volatile Exchange between Undamaged Plants - a New Mechanism Affecting Insect Orientation in Intercropping
(Public Library Science, San Francisco, 2013)
Changes in plant volatile emission can be induced by exposure to volatiles from neighbouring insect-attacked plants. However, plants are also exposed to volatiles from unattacked neighbours, and the consequences of this ...
Geographic structure with no evidence for host-associated lineages in European populations of Lysiphlebus testaceipes, an introduced biological control agent
(Academic Press Inc Elsevier Science, San Diego, 2013)
Lysiphlebus testaceipes (Cress.) is an aphidiine parasitoid originally introduced to Europe as a biological control agent of citrus aphids in the Mediterranean. It has rapidly become widespread in coastal areas continuing ...
Nutraceutical properties of the methanolic extract of edible mushroom Cantharellus cibarius (Fries): primary mechanisms
(Royal Soc Chemistry, Cambridge, 2015)
The methanolic extract of the wild edible mushroom Cantharellus cibarius Fr. (chanterelle) was analyzed for in vitro antioxidative, cytotoxic, antihypertensive and antibacterial activities. Various primary and secondary ...
