Indole

When conducting the different tests and streaking, aseptic techniques were followed. For every T-streaked that was done, the inoculating loop was first flame for 5 seconds and was allowed to cool for 30 seconds. Afterwards the tube containing the mixed unknown bacteria was then passed over the flame. The inoculating loop was then inserted into the broth and then carefully streak on quadrant one of the plate. Afterwards, the loop was sterilized by the flame and was allow to cool for thirty…

200 grass species that are commonly found in temperate regions located among Africa, Asia, Australasia and Oceania, Europe, and the Americas (Toxinology.no 2016). Whichever Claviceps species is brought up and discussed about, all species contain Indole diterpenes, a structurally diverse group of secondary metabolites, and most importantly Ergot alkaloids that have three subclasses: clavines, peptide ergot alkaloids, and simple lysergic acid derivatives (most notably lysergic acid diethyl amide…

Sara Parks Unknown Report Introduction One of the many reasons to study microbiology is to gain a better understanding of microorganisms and the huge part they play in the world. It is imperative to know the differences between microorganisms. This knowledge is useful in many cases; for instance, a patient with an unidentified infection could be administered effective treatment if one possessed the knowledge to correctly define the microorganism. Furthermore, the purpose of this unknown…

Compatibility test and Glasshouse trial In the present study, BA, SA and HL were selected on the basis of their antifungal activity (up to 45% against RS) by dual culture assay and all were able to produce siderophore, protease, indole acetic acid and chitinase (data not shown). Moreover, on the basis of their compatibility against each other, these three microbes used in this study. They showed appropriate growth under compatibility test against each other. Therefore, mixed consortia of BA, SA…

to Calabrese.22 Many are using Peyote cactus for healing addiction and depression because of its psychoactive effects, which corresponds to alteration of one’s consciousness or augmenting the mind. Mescaline (3,4,5-trimethoxy-phenethylamine) is an indole hallucinogen resembling the neurotransmitters dopamine and norepinephrine which remarkably effective in resolving alcohol and other drug abuse according to Dr. Paul M. Gahlinger.23 According to Addiction Hope website, psychological effects of…

exploit IST system and increase root nodules. Not only this, but I believe PGPR has the ability to change molecular DNA activities. I believe this because PGPR promotes root development and alter root architecture by the production of phytohormones like indole acetic acid (IAA). This production of hormones result in increased root surface area and numbers of root tips because of the push for nutrient uptake. We do not fully comprehend the mechanism, but…

Discovery What we know today as “lidocaine” was discovered by two Swedish chemists, Nils Löfgren and Bengt Lundqvist, in 1942. Hans v. Euler was investigating genes and enzymes that were related to barley. He then isolated gramine, which was an indole. Erdtman then synthesized the isogramine and found that it had weak anesthetic properties. Then, Erdtman and Löfgren synthesized amino amides but nothing was better than the existing ester-type anesthetic. Some time later, Löfgren and Lundqvist…

Jasmine Flowers have always been a symbol of love. It defines the beauty of nature as well. Among flowers, there are certain kinds which have prominent status. Jasmine is one of them. Because of its beauty, fragrance and appearance it always inspired poets and writers to use this particular flower as a metaphor for the expression of their love. The word jasmine has been used differently in different ages. But its eternal meaning didn’t change with different cultures. In literary term,…

General Unknowns Bacterium Vitality en Vida Bacteria play a vital role in our daily lives. It is therefore our right to know the importance of being able to distinguish certain strains of bacteria. With the right knowledge we would be able to come up with a cure for a disease. An identity gives way to knowledge, to better understanding and access to information on how an organism works and how we can prevent its worsening effects or isolate its benefits. Scientists have been trying to…

“The French have respect for others by respecting themselves. They pay close attentions to their actions. Not because someone may be observing them, but because everybody may be looking at them. An so, an Englishman stuck in traffic will pick his nose to kill time, while the Frenchman will look in the mirror, adjust his tie, hair, and run a hand over his brow or a mustache. A Frenchman will passionately kiss his girlfriend or wife in any public place [having lived in Paris, I attest to that—JMP]…
