15 μm and an aspect ratio of 70-120 were homogeneously distributed in the final composite powders. A molten-salt-assisted iron-catalyzed vapor-solid mechanism was promoted for the growth mechanism of in situ grown SiC whiskers.In tea (Camellia sinensis) plants, polyphenols are the representative metabolites and play important roles during their…[Read more]

All P. litorale isolates were homothallic, developing gametangia, ornamented oogonia with elongate to lobate antheridia. Pathogenicity of P. litorale was tested by inoculation on excised shoots and by root inoculation on seedlings. P. litorale produced large lesions and blights on shoots in just 5 days and killed 100% of the seedlings in a month.…[Read more]

parameters compared to the untreated samples (initial). For this study, the optimal sanitizer selected was PA, due to the low concentration and cost needed and its microbiocidal effect in wash water and fruit. Notwithstanding the results obtained, the effect of PA in combination with other non-thermal technologies such as water-assisted…[Read more]

The provided comparison of TOF-SIMS and STEM/EDX characteristics delivers guidelines for choosing the most optimal method for efficient characterization of nano-objects.Compound 6, a novel β-carboline comprising two 1-methyl-9H-β-carboline-3-carboxylic acids and a biotin moiety conjugated together using tris(2-aminoethyl)amine, was synthesized a…[Read more]

There is an urgent need to search for new antibiotics to counter the growing number of antibiotic-resistant bacterial strains, one of which is methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Herein, we report a Streptomyces sp. strain MUSC 125 from mangrove soil in Malaysia which was identified using 16S rRNA phylogenetic and phenotypic…[Read more]
