Degradation of Ferulic Acid by the Endophytic Fungus TMTM-13 Associated with Chun.

Biodegradation of ferulic acid, by an endophytic fungus TMTM-13 associated with Chun, was explored in this study. Ferulic acid was completely degraded by TMTM-13 as its initial concentration was lower than 400 mg L. Generally, the initial concentration of ferulic acid and fungal biomass of TMTM-13 kept synchronously growing up as the concentration was lower than 400 mg L.

Antifungal activities of metabolites produced by a termite-associated Streptomyces canus BYB02.

Two main antifungal metabolites resistomycin and tetracenomycin D were isolated and purified from a termite-associated Streptomyces canus BYB02 by column chromatography. The structures of isolated compounds were determined on the basis of extensive spectroscopic analysis. Resistomycin possessed strong activities against mycelial growth of Valsa mali (IC(50) = 1.

Synthesis, crystal structure, interaction with BSA and antibacterial activity of La(III) and Sm(III) complexes with enrofloxacin.

Two new La(III) and Sm(III) complexes with enrofloxacin (HER, 1-cyclopropyl-7-(4-ethyl-1-piperazinyl)-6-fluoro-1,4-dihydro-4-oxo-3-quinoline carboxylic acid, C(19)H(21)FN(3)O(3)), [La(2)(ER)(6)(H(2)O)(2)]·14H(2)O(1) and [Sm(2)(ER)(6)(H(2)O)(2)]·14H(2)O(2) have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR, TG-DTG and X-ray single crystal diffraction. Both of the complexes are triclinic system with space group Pī. The structure of the complexes show that each rare earth atom in both complexes was nine-coordinated.
