SCEDOSPORIUM APIOSPERMUM, SCEDOSPORIUM AURANTIACUM, SCEDOSPORIUM MINUTISPORUM AND LOMENTOSPORA PROLIFICANS: A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF SURFACE MOLECULES PRODUCED BY CONIDIAL AND GERMINATED CONIDIAL CELLS

BACKGROUND Scedosporium/Lomentospora species are opportunistic mould pathogens, presenting notable antifungal resistance.OBJECTIVES/METHODS We analysed the conidia and germinated conidia of S.apiospermum (Sap), S.aurantiacum (Sau), S.minutisporum (Smi) and L.prolificans (Lpr) by scanning electron microscopy and exposition of surface molecules by fl

Marine diatoms are a potential source for lipids and carbohydrates, which can have several applications ranging from biofuels to nutraceuticals.Due to their siliceous cellular structure and the RWgift complex nature of different lipid classes, it is important to understand the effect of biomass pre-treatment on the extractability of marine diatom l

Traditional dishes such as chicken biriyani are relished by many and consumed in almost every celebration.The Meter lifestyle changes and rapid urbanisation calls for the development of readyto- eat processed foods, which are safely processed and neatly packed.Retort processed shelfstable foods are an alternative to such a demand.In the study condu

We previously showed that vinflunine, a microtubule-targeting drug of the Vinca-alkaloid family exerted its anti-angiogenic/anti-migratory Meter activities through an increase in microtubule dynamics and an inhibition of microtubule targeting to adhesion sites.Such effect was associated with a reduction of EB1 comet length at microtubule (+) ends.I

Increasing the efficiency of the conversion of electricity into light energy (UV LEDs) has made possible Acrylic Puzzle a new stage in the development of vertical axis wind turbines by compensating for the small wind energy conversion efficiency (14.81%).The work is based on the use of Taguchi methods (TM) in increasing the efficiency of a wind tur
