Identification of Causative agents associated with decay of Trees Twig and Orchards Die-back and their Impacts on Vessels of Citrus, Date Palm and Ficus.

The present work is concerned with the studies of the organism causing wood decay of twigs and branches of citrus orchards, date palm Phoenix dactylifera L, and ficus trees. A survey for the occurrence of this disease in the main growing areas was achieved by the researchers. The following species of citrus orchards [lime (C.

Antimicrobial, Antigenotoxicity, and Characterization of and Its Rhizosphere-Inhabiting Actinobacteria: In Vitro and In Vivo Studies.

() is a wild shrub that is a medicinal plant found in abundance throughout Saudi Arabia. In this study, we investigated the phytochemical composition and antigenotoxic properties of the ethanolic extract of , in addition to the antimicrobial activity of the plant and its rhizospheric actinobacteria effects against pathogenic microorganisms. Soil-extract medium supplemented with glycerol as a carbon source and starch-casein agar medium was used for isolation of actinobacteria from rhizosphere.

In vitro and in vivo hypolipidemic properties of the aqueous extract of , cultivated in colored flasks under artificial illumination.

Background: is blue-green algae that grows mainly in tropical and subtropical lakes and is commonly used due to its nutritional features including high concentrations of protein, vitamins, mineral salts, carotenoids and antioxidants. This study aimed to investigate the anti-hypercholesterolemic potential of aqueous extract of cultivated in different colored flasks under artificial illumination; in vitro and in the diet induced hypercholesterolemic Swiss albino mice.

Methods: was cultivated in red, blue, green and colorless Erlenmeyer flasks containing Zarrouk's medium under aerobic conditions, with incessant illumination by artificial cool white fluorescent with light intensity of 2500 lux (35 µmol photon m s).

Bioprocessing strategies for cost-effective simultaneous removal of chromium and malachite green by marine alga Enteromorpha intestinalis.

A large number of industries use heavy metal cations to fix dyes in fabrication processes. Malachite green (MG) is used in many factories and in aquaculture production to treat parasites, and it has genotoxic and carcinogenic effects. Chromium is used to fix the dyes and it is a global toxic heavy metal.

Effect of dietary antioxidant supplementation (Cuminum cyminum) on bacterial susceptibility of diabetes-induced rats.

Diabetic patients are at risk of acquiring infections. Chronic low-grade inflammation is an important factor in the pathogenesis of diabetic complication. Diabetes causes generation of reactive oxygen species that increases oxidative stress, which may play a role in the development of complications as immune-deficiency and bacterial infection.
