| streptomyces graminilatus sp. nov., isolated from bamboo litter. | a gram-stain-positive, novel actinobacterium, designated strain jl-6(t), was isolated from the litter of a bamboo (sasa borealis) forest in damyang, korea. strain jl-6(t) had white-grey, smooth, cylindrical spores that were borne in straight, long spore-chains. the novel strain grew aerobically at 15-28 °c (optimum, 28 °c), ph 4.0-8.0 (optimum, ph 5.5) and with 0-1.5% (w/v) nacl. the cell-wall peptidoglycan contained ll-diaminopimelic acid, glutamic acid, alanine and glycine. the predominant men ... | 2014 | 24123200 |
| streptomyces graminisoli sp. nov. and streptomyces rhizophilus sp. nov., isolated from bamboo (sasa borealis) rhizosphere soil. | four strains of actinomycete, designated strains jr-19t, jr-12, jr-29 and jr-41t were isolated from bamboo (sasa borealis) rhizosphere soil. phylogenetic, morphological, chemotaxonomic and phenotypic analysis demonstrated that the four strains belong to the genus streptomyces. microscopic observation revealed that the four strains produced spirales spore chains with spiny surfaces. the cell-wall peptidoglycan of the four strains contained ll-diaminopimelic acid, glutamic acid, alanine and glycin ... | 2014 | 24478213 |
| streptomyces gramineus sp. nov., an antibacterial-producing actinobacterium isolated from bamboo (sasa boreali) rhizosphere soil. | two actinobacterial strains, jr-43(t) and jr-4, were isolated from bamboo (sasa boreali) rhizosphere soil. the isolates produced grey aerial mycelium and a yellow soluble pigment on isp 4. microscopic observation revealed that strains jr-43(t) and jr-4 produced rectiflexibiles spore chains with spiny surfaces. both strains had antibacterial activity against plant pathogenic bacteria, such as xanthomonas campestris lmg 568(t) and xanthomonas axonopodis pv. vesicatoria lmg 905(t). the strains cont ... | 2011 | 21622836 |
| sasa borealis leaves extract improves insulin resistance by modulating inflammatory cytokine secretion in high fat diet-induced obese c57/bl6j mice. | obesity is considered a mild inflammatory state, and the secretion of inflammation-related cytokines rises as adipose tissue expands. inflammatory cytokines, including tumor necrosis factor-alpha (tnf-alpha), interlukin 6 (il-6) and monocyte-chemoattractant protein 1 (mcp-1), are modulated by adipose tissue and known to play an important role in insulin resistance which is the common characteristics of obesity related disorders. in this study we analyzed the effects of sasa borealis leaves extra ... | 2010 | 20461197 |
| blockade of chronic high glucose-induced endothelial apoptosis by sasa borealis bamboo extract. | hyperglycemia is a causal factor in the development of diabetic vascular complications including impaired vascular smooth muscle contractility and increased cell proliferation. the present study was designed to investigate the effects of sasa borealis water-extract (sbwe) on chronic hyperglycemia-induced oxidative stress and apoptosis in human umbilical endothelial cells (huvec). huvec were cultured in 5.5 mm low glucose, 5.5 mm glucose plus 27.5 mm mannitol as an osmotic control, or 33 mm high ... | 2008 | 18375828 |
| p-glycoprotein inhibitory activity of two phenolic compounds, (-)-syringaresinol and tricin from sasa borealis. | (-)-syringaresinol and tricin, isolated from the acoet-soluble extract of the whole plants of sasa borealis (gramineae), showed inhibitory effects on the p-glycoprotein in adriamycin-resistant human breast cancer cells, mcf-7/adr. | 2007 | 17256728 |
| isoorientin induces nrf2 pathway-driven antioxidant response through phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase signaling. | because oxidative stress is involved in the pathogenesis of various chronic diseases and the aging process, antioxidants that can increase the intrinsic antioxidant potency are proposed as desirable therapeutic agents to counteract oxidative stress-related diseases. nf-e2-related factor-2 (nrf2) is a transcription factor that regulates important antioxidant and phase ii detoxification genes, and therefore, the molecule that regulates nuclear translocation of nrf2 and the induction of antioxidati ... | 2007 | 18254247 |
| streptomyces graminifolii sp. nov., isolated from bamboo (sasa borealis) litter. | the taxonomic position of strain jl-22(t), isolated from litter of a bamboo (sasa borealis) forest, was determined using a polyphasic approach. the organism had phenotypic and morphological properties consistent with it being a member of the genus streptomyces. phylogenetic analysis of the 16s rrna gene sequence showed that strain jl-22(t) was closely related to streptomyces prunicolor nrrl b-12281(t) (99.2%), streptomyces galilaeus jcm 4757(t) (99.0%) and streptomyces chartreusis nbrc 12753(t) ... | 2014 | 24812360 |
| streptomyces sasae sp. nov., isolated from bamboo (sasa borealis) rhizosphere soil. | a novel strain of gram-staining-positive actinobacterium, designated strain jr-39t, was isolated from the rhizosphere soil of bamboo (sasa borealis) sampled in damyang, korea, and its taxonomic position was investigated by a polyphasic approach. the isolate formed flexuous chains of spores that were cylindrical and smooth-surfaced. strain jr-39t grew at 4–37 °c (optimum 28 °c). the ph range for growth was ph 5–10 (optimum ph 6–8) and the nacl range for growth was 0–5 % (w/v) with optimum growth ... | 2015 | 26296574 |
