Assessment of Genomic and Metabolic Characteristics of Cholesterol-Reducing and GABA Producer Limosilactobacillus fermentum AGA52 Isolated from Lactic Acid Fermented Shalgam Based on "In Silico" and "In Vitro" Approaches.

This study aimed to characterize the genomic and metabolic properties of a novel Lb. fermentum strain AGA52 which was isolated from a lactic acid fermented beverage called "shalgam." The genome size of AGA52 was 2,001,184 bp, which is predicted to carry 2024 genes, including 50 tRNAs, 3 rRNAs, 3 ncRNAs, 15 CRISPR repeats, 14 CRISPR spacers, and 1 CRISPR array.

Chemical composition and fumigant toxicity of some essential oils against Ephestia kuehniella.

The chemical constituents of some essential oils extracted from aromatic plants (savory, Satureja thymbra L.; Turkish oregano, Origanum onites L.; myrtle, Myrtus communis L.

The effects of Se phytotoxicity on the antioxidant systems of leaf tissues in barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) seedlings.

A hydroponic experiment was carried out in a growth chamber to investigate the impact of Selenium (Se) levels on physiological and biochemical characteristics of a barley cultivar. Membrane lipid peroxidation (LPO), proline accumulation and antioxidant activities of some enzymes of barley seedlings under Se toxicity were investigated. Significant increase in thiobarbituric acid reactive substance (TBARS) content, and a stimulation of catalase (CAT, 1.
