Aeromonas bivalvium sp. nov. isolated from bivalve molluscs
A polyphasic study was performed to determine the taxonomic position of two <i>Aeromonas</i> strains, 665N and 868E<sup>T</sup>, isolated from bivalve molluscs, that could not be identified at the species level in a previous ...
Germination, physio-anatomical behavior, and productivity of wheat plants irrigated with magnetically treated seawater
Salinity is an abiotic stress that reduces the seed germination and productivity of wheat. The objective of this study was to assess the impact of irrigation with magnetically treated seawater on the germination, growth, ...
Vida de la llum, llum per a la vida
Hi ha dues coses en les quals s'assemblen els microbis i els estels. La primera és ben evident: per a observar-los, tant els diminuts microbis com els gegantins estels, es necessiten instruments basats en les ones ...
Steroidal Lactones from Withania somnifera, an Ancient Plant for Novel Medicine
Withania somnifera, commonly known as Ashwagandha, is an important medicinal plant that has been used in Ayurvedic and indigenous medicine for over 3,000 years. In view of its varied therapeutic potential, it has also been ...
Reinvestigation of the sperm ultrastructure of Hypoderaeum conoideum (Digenea: Echinostomatidae)
Spermatological characteristics of the digenean Hypoderaeum conoideum (Echinostomatidae) collected from Anas platyrhynchos in the Lac d'Annecy (France) were reinvestigated using transmission electron microscopy. The previous ...
Genetic approaches in improving biotechnological production of taxane: An update
Paclitaxel (PTX) and its derivatives are diterpene alkaloids widely used as chemotherapeutic agents in the treatment of various types of cancer. Due to the scarcity of PTX in nature, its production in cell cultures and ...
Sucking lice in bandicoot rats with first complete description of <em>Hoplopleura malabarica</em> nymphs
Background</h2><p>Studies of insect biodiversity and parasitism are often based on adult stages, as immature stages are poorly known and often cannot be identified to species level. However, sucking lice (Anoplura) are ...
