The Bacterial Product Violacein Exerts an Immunostimulatory Effect Via TLR8
(2019)
Violacein, an indole-derived, purple-colored natural pigment isolated from Chromobacterium violaceum has shown multiple biological activities. In this work, we studied the effect of violacein in different immune cell lines, ...
Optimization of semiochemical-based trapping of Metamasius hemipterus sericeus (Olivier) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae)
(1996-08)
Response of adults of the West Indian sugarcane weevil,Metamasius hemipterus sericeus, to various semiochemical treatments and physical trap designs was studied in southern Florida in field-grown banana and Canary Island ...
Direct functionalization of Mn12-(methacrylate) clusters on Si(100): surface characterization and electrochemical properties
(2016-09)
The reaction of H–terminated Si(100) with methacrylate–substituted manganese carboxylate clusters [Mn12O12{CH2C(CH3)COO}16(H2O)4], [Mn12–(methacrylate)] via hydrosilylation afforded Mn12–(methacrylate)−Si(100). The chemically ...
Aceptación de un jugo de mora endulzado con estevia en contraste con otros edulcorantes
Acceptance of a blackberry juice sweetened with stevia vs other sweeteners
(2017)
El objetivo de la presente investigación fue desarrollar un jugo de mora (Rubus adenotrichus), endulzado con esteviolglucósidos (glucósidos obtenidos a partir de las hojas de Stevia rebaudina Bertoni) como una bebida ...
Phytochemical study of endemic Costa Rican Annonaceae species Annona pittieri and Cymbopetalum costaricense
(2021)
Phytochemical profile of the Central American rainforest endemic Annonaceae species, Annona pittieri and Cymbonopetallum costaricense, were studied in search
of novel bioactive compounds. The acetogenin squamocin (1) ...
Soil Fungal Community Composition Correlates with Site-Specific Abiotic Factors, Tree Community Structure, and Forest Age in Regenerating Tropical Rainforests
(2021)
Successional dynamics of plants and animals during tropical forest regeneration have been thoroughly studied, while fungal compositional dynamics during tropical forest succession remain unknown, despite the crucial roles ...
Anti-platelet activity and chemical characterization by UPLC-DAD-ESI-QTOF-MS of the main polyphenols in extracts from Psidium leaves and fruits
(2021)
In Costa Rica, two species of Psidium fruits, P. guajava and P. friedrichsthalianum, are widely consumed as food and used in folk medicine. Although studies have revealed the health effects of these fruits, there has been ...
Three new species of Gliocephalotrichum causing fruit rot on different hosts from Brazil
(2020-09-18)
The genus Gliocephalotrichum (Nectriaceae), originally described as a soil-borne fungus, has been associated with postharvest diseases, especially of tropical fruits. Taxonomic studies using both morphological and molecular ...
