Anti-quorum sensing activity, toxicity in zebrafish (Danio rerio) embryos and phytochemical characterization of Trapa natans leaf extracts
(Elsevier Ireland Ltd, Clare, 2018)
Ethnopharmacological relevance: Trapa natans L. (water chestnut or water caltrop) is a widespread aquatic plant, which has been cultivated for food and traditional medicine since ancient times. Pharmacological studies ...
Upcycling of food waste streams to valuable biopigments pyocyanin and 1-hydroxyphenazine
(Enzyme and Microbial Technology, 2023)
Phenazines, including pyocyanin (PYO) and 1-hydroxyphenazine (1-HP) are extracellular secondary metabolites and multifunctional pigments of Pseudomonas aeruginosa responsible for its blue-green color. These versatile ...
Antioxidative response in variegated Pelargonium zonale leaves and generation of extracellular H2O2 in (peri)vascular tissue induced by sunlight and paraquat
(Elsevier Gmbh, Munich, 2016)
In this study we exposed variegated leaves of Pelargonium zonale to strong sunlight ( gt 1100 mu mol m(-2) s(-1) of photosynthetically active radiation) with and without paraquat (Pq), with the aim to elucidate the mechanisms ...
Immunomodulatory activity and protective effects of chokeberry fruit extract on Listeria monocytogenes infection in mice
(United Kingdom : Royal Society of Chemistry, 2020)
Chokeberry (Aronia melanocarpa) fruit extracts (CE) are rich in polyphenols and usually exhibit immunomodulatory, anti-viral and anti-bacterial effects. We have previously shown that the CE used in this study activated ...
Utilization of supercritical carbon dioxide in fabrication of cellulose acetate films with anti-biofilm effects against Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus
(Elsevier Science Bv, Amsterdam, 2018)
This study discusses utilization of supercritical carbon dioxide for impregnation of cellulose acetate films with thymol in order to produce material with anti-biofilm activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus ...
Chemical characterization and antimicrobial activity of Juglans nigra L. nut and green husk / Hemijska karakterizacija i antimikrobna aktivnost orašastog ploda i zelene ljuske Juglans nigra l.
(Belgrade : Serbian Chemical Society, 2023)
Juglans nigra (Black walnut) is a source of health-promoting
biologically active compounds used in traditional medicine. The investigation of
bioactive compounds in black walnut could lead to its broader application, ...
Biodegradable and active zein-gelatin-based electrospun mats and solvent-cast films incorporating sage extract: Formulation and comparative characterization
(Food Packaging and Shelf LifeFood Packaging and Shelf LifeFood Packaging and Shelf Life, 2023)
This study aimed to develop active, biodegradable materials for food packaging by incorporating sage extract (SE) within a zein-gelatin blend by electrospinning and solvent casting. The fabrication techniques, SE incorporation, ...
Ultraviolet-B component of sunlight stimulates photosynthesis and flavonoid accumulation in variegated Plectranthus coleoides leaves depending on background light
(Wiley, Hoboken, 2015)
We used variegated Plectranthus coleoides as a model plant with the aim of clarifying whether the effects of realistic ultraviolet-B (UV-B) doses on phenolic metabolism in leaves are mediated by photosynthesis. Plants were ...
Production of bacterial nanocellulose (BNC) and its application as a solid support in transition metal catalysed cross-coupling reactions
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2019)
Bacterial nanocellulose (BNC) emerged as an attractive advanced biomaterial that provides desirable properties such as high strength, lightweight, tailorable surface chemistry, hydrophilicity, and biodegradability. BNC was ...
LAMMER kinase contributes to genome stability in Ustilago maydis
(Amsterdam : Elsevier, 2015)
Here we report identification of the lkh1 gene encoding a LAMMER kinase homolog (Lkh1) from a screen for DNA repair-deficient mutants in Ustilago maydis. The mutant allele isolated results from a mutation at glutamine codon ...
