From Rainforest to Lab: Electrochemical Biosensing with Colombian Plant Peroxidases
The peroxidases are a class of enzymes found in various species of Colombian tropical plants. These enzymes belong to the larger group of peroxidases, which are heme-containing proteins involved in catalysing a wide range of reactions in living ...

Alterations in Soluble Class III Peroxidases of Maize Shoots by Flooding Stress
Due to changing climate, flooding (waterlogged soils and submergence) becomes a major problem in agriculture and crop production. In the present study, the effect of waterlogging was investigated on peroxidases of maize (Zea mays L.) leaves.

Oxidative stress and Ramadan observance; a possible influence of associated dieting [PDF]
Introduction: The effects of Ramadan observance and any associated dietary restriction upon oxidative stress are not well known. The topic has thus been examined in a brief systematic review of available literature concerning non-athletic but otherwise ...

Effects of mixed saline and alkaline stress on the morphology and anatomy of Pisum sativum L.: The role of peroxidase and ascorbate oxidase in growth regulation [PDF]
The effects of hyperalkaline, thermo-mineral water from Slatina on the morphology and anatomy of pea plants (Pisum sativum L.), were examined after eleven days of treatment with a mixture of tap water and Slatina water in 3:1 (T1) and 1:1 ratios (T2).

Production of Ligninolytic Enzymes by Coptotermes curvignathus Gut Bacteria
Maximum utilization of lignocellulosic biomass is contingent upon degrading the recalcitrant lignin polymer. Conventional methods employed in delignification require high inputs of energy and chemicals, resulting in the release of highly toxic effluents.

Ligninolytic enzyme potential of Trametes spp. associated with leaf litter in riparian forest of the Amazônia region [PDF]
The present study explored the potential of leaf litter as a source of fungi able to produce ligninolytic enzymes for the biodegradation of anthraquinone dyes. Within the colonies isolated from the leaf litter, only three colonies of two species Trametes
