Differential oxidative stress responses to methanol in intraperitoneally exposed rats: Ameliorative effects of Opuntia vulgaris fruit extract
(
SAGE Publications
, 2012 , Article)
Methanol is primarily metabolized by oxidation to formaldehyde and then to formate. These processes are accompanied by formation of superoxide anion and hydrogen peroxide. This article reports data on the effect of ...
Improvement of Photorhabdus temperata bioinsecticides production in low-cost media through adequate fermentation technology
(
Wiley Subscription Services, Inc.
, 2012 , Article)
To develop a cost effective process for bioinsecticides production by Photorhabdus temperata, dissolved oxygen (DO) requirements were investigated in both the complex and the optimized media using diluted seawater as a ...
Improvement of Photorhabdus temperata strain K122 bioinsecticide production by batch and fed-batch fermentations optimization
(
Springer-Verlag
, 2012 , Article)
Optimization of a fermentation process for bioinsecticides production by Photorhabdus temperata strain K122 was investigated into fully controlled 3-L fermenter using an optimized medium (OM). Development of large-scale ...
Use of two bacteria for biological control of bayoud disease caused by Fusarium oxysporum in date palm (Phoenix dactylifera L) seedlings
(
Elsevier Masson SAS
, 2012 , Article)
The Bayoud, caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. albedinis (Foa), is the most destructive disease of date palm (Phoenix dactylifera L) in Morocco and Algeria, with no effective control strategy yet available. In this work, ...
Correlation between synthesis variation of 2-alkylquinolones and the antifungal activity of aBurkholderia cepacia strain collection
(
Springer Netherlands
, 2012 , Article)
Twenty epiphytic and rhizospheric bacterial strains harbouring strong antifungal activities were isolated from the Tunisian environment. This group of bacteria was identified as Burkholderia cepacia genomovar I using 16S ...
Amino acids Y229 and F603 are involved in Bacillus thuringiensis Cry1Ac delta-endotoxin stability and toxicity
(
Blackwell Publishing
, 2012 , Article)
Bacillus thuringiensis Cry1Ac toxin shares structurally five conserved blocs with the other δ-endotoxins. To study the role of some amino acids belonging to these regions, two mutations, Y(229) P and F(603) S, were introduced ...
Cyanobacteria, oil - And cyanofuel?
(
Springer Netherlands
, 2012 , Book chapter)
Summary: Global warming, the global carbon cycle, and current and future global trading in carbon credits (the carbon market), are beginning to dictate radical changes in human behaviour. In this context, the cyanobacteria ...
Introduction to the cyanobacteria
(
Springer Netherlands
, 2012 , Article)
Summary: Features of cyanobacteria are introduced for non-specialists by highlighting topics in the various chapters. Aspects where much more is known now than a decade ago are pointed out, such as the importance of ...
Cyclic AMP-Rap1A signaling activates RhoA to induce α2c-adrenoceptor translocation to the cell surface of microvascular smooth muscle cells
(
American Physiological Society
, 2012 , Article)
Intracellular signaling by the second messenger cyclic AMP (cAMP) activates the Ras-related small GTPase Rap1 through the guanine exchange factor Epac. This activation leads to effector protein interactions, activation, ...
CAMP induces adhesion of microvascular smooth muscle cells to fibronectin via an epac-mediated but PKA-independent mechanism
(
Cell Physiol Biochem Press
, 2012 , Article)
Background/Aims: Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) play important roles, both in physiologic and pathophysiologic processes. Adhesion of these cells is critical for their proper functioning, especially in resistance-sized ...
