A cell wall preparation of Fusobacterium necrophorum induced haemorrhagic necrosis in the skins of guinea pigs and rabbits. Effects in mice and rats were weak or absent. The toxic activity of the cell wall preparation was not reduced by heat treatment. A dermonecrotic toxin was isolated from the cell wall preparation with sodium dodecylsulphate and concentrated by precipitation with ethanol. A preparation of the bacterial cytoplasm from Fus. necrophorum induced mainly erythema.

This study investigates the effect of 100 mg L thymol treatment on the quality of post-harvest peppers stored at 10 °C. The results showed that thymol treatment significantly reduced decay rate, reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation, and saturated fatty acid levels in peppers. Moreover, unsaturated fatty acids, non-enzymatic antioxidants, and antioxidant enzyme levels increased after treatment.

Malignant transformation is a rare complication of ovarian mature cystic teratoma that occurs in 1-3% of cases. We herein report a case of squamous cell carcinoma originating from mature cystic teratoma of the ovary diagnosed 10 years after initial tumor detection. A 69-year-old woman presented to the Department of Internal Medicine with a seven-month history of abdominal fullness.

Sugars act as signaling molecules to modulate various growth processes and enhance plant tolerance to various abiotic and biotic stresses. Moreover, sugars contribute to the postharvest flavor in fleshy fruit crops. To date, the regulation of sugar metabolism and its effect in plant growth, fruit ripening, postharvest quality, and stress resistance remains not fully understood.

is one of the leading etiological agents of sporotrichosis, a cutaneous and subcutaneous mycosis worldwide distributed. This organism has been recently associated with epidemic outbreaks in Brazil. Despite the medical relevance of this species, little is known about its virulence factors, and most of the information on this subject is extrapolated from .

In vegetative hyphae, chitin, β-1,3-glucan (laminarin), and a mixed β-1,3-/β-1,4-glucan (lichenin) are the major cell wall polysaccharides. GH72 enzymes have been shown to function as β-1,3-glucanases and glucanosyltransferases and can function in crosslinking β-1,3-glucans together. To characterize the enzymatic activities of the enzymes, we expressed GEL-1 with a HIS6 tag in A chimeric maltose binding protein:GEL-2 was produced in .
