Functional Activity of the Antioxidant System of Genus Plants in the Republic of Buryatia (Russia) and Its Significance in Plant Adaptation.

Plants are sessile organisms and any changes in environmental factors activate various responses and defense mechanisms. plants widely inhabit harsh conditions of arid and semiarid ecosystems. Using two species-a subshrub, , and an annual-biennial herb, -the functioning of the antioxidant system of plants in semiarid territories have been examined.

Removal of Phenol by 1CP after Dormancy: Insight into Enzymes' Induction, Specificity, and Cells Viability.

Biodegradation of phenol is an effective method for removing this toxicant from contaminated sites. Phenol is a toxic compound for living cells, so many bacteria degrade phenol in relatively low concentrations, up to 0.75 g L.

Microbial Biosensor for Characterization of a Microorganism: A Review focusing on the Biochemical Activity of Microbial Cells.

Express assessment of the biochemical activity of microorganisms is important in both applied and fundamental research. A laboratory model of a microbial electrochemical sensor formed on the basis of the culture of interest is a device that provides rapidly information about the culture and is cost effective, simple to fabricate and easy to use. This paper describes the application of laboratory models of microbial sensors in which the Clark-type oxygen electrode was used as a transducer.

Chemical Diversity of Essential Oil, Antimicrobial and Antiradical Activity.

This paper presents the results of the study of the composition of the essential oil (EO) of by the GC/MS method as well as its antimicrobial and antiradical activities. According to the PCA-analysis, these EOs can be conditionally divided into "Tajik" and "Buryat-Mongol" chemotypes. The first chemotype is characterized by the prevalence of - and -thujone, and the second chemotype by the prevalence of 4-phenyl-2-butanone, camphor.

Micromycete Responses to Acetone: Electrochemical Express Evaluation of Acetone Metabolism.

The biosensor method has not yet been applied to study the fungus-acetone interaction. The first electrochemical (amperometric) study of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp.
