Isolation and characterization of extracellular bioflocculants produced by bacteria isolated from Qatari ecosystems
(
POLISH SOCIETY OF MICROBIOLOGISTS
, 2008 , Article)
Compared with conventional synthetic flocculants, bioflocculants has special advantages such as safety, strong effect, biodegradable and harmlessness to humans and the environment, so they may potentially be applied in ...
Impacts of CO2-induced seawater acidification on coastal Mediterranean bivalves and interactions with other climatic stressors
(
Springer Berlin Heidelberg
, 2014 , Article)
The effects of seawater acidification caused by increasing concentrations of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2), combined with other climatic stressors, were studied on 3 coastal Mediterranean bivalve species: the mussel ...
Screening and identification of a Bacillus thuringiensis strain S1/4 with large and efficient insecticidal activities.
(
WILEY-VCH
, 2013 , Article)
The bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis was recognized for its entomopathogenic activities related to Cry and Cyt proteins forming the δ-endotoxins and some extracellular activities like the vegetative insecticidal proteins ...

(
Taylor and Francis Ltd.
, 2014 , Article)
The diet of Bubo ascalaphus in Qatar was assessed based on pellets collected from the first known nesting site of the species in the country. The pellets contained a total of 68 prey items, representing 9 different species: ...
Selective inhibition of protein arginine methyltransferase 5 blocks initiation and maintenance of B-cell transformation
(
American Society of Hematology
, 2015 , Article)
Epigenetic events that are essential drivers of lymphocyte transformation remain incompletely characterized. We used models of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)–induced B-cell transformation to document the relevance of protein ...
Production of Polyclonal and Monoclonal Antibodies Against the Bacillus thuringiensis Vegetative Insecticidal Protein Vip3Aa16
(
Springer International Publishing AG
, 2014 , Article)
The aim of this study is to establish a quantitative determination of the vegetative insecticidal protein Vip3A from the culture supernatant of Bacillus thuringiensis either by ELISA or by the conventional quantification ...
A comparison of physiological and transcriptome responses to water deprivation and salt loading in the rat supraoptic nucleus
(
American Physiological Society
, 2015 , Article)
Salt loading (SL) and water deprivation (WD) are experimental challenges that are often used to study the osmotic circuitry of the brain. Central to this circuit is the supraoptic nucleus (SON) of the hypothalamus, which ...
Studying competitive sorption behavior of methylene blue and malachite green using multivariate calibration
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2014 , Article)
Sorption of methylene blue MB and malachite green MG (with 96.4% spectral overlap) from bi-solute solution by natural kaolinitic-clay and philipsite-rich-zeolite tuff was addressed where solutes simply quantified using ...
Foraging in space and time structure an African small mammal community
(
Springer Verlag
, 2014 , Article)
We used live-trapping and foraging to test for the effect of habitat selection and diet on structuring a community of six small mammals and one bird within the Soutpansberg, South Africa. We established grids that straddled ...
