Journal ArticleDOI
Antimicrobial screening of some indian spices
TL;DR: The results establish the traditional use of spices as food preservatives, disinfectants and antiseptics as they have been reported to have antiseptic and disinfectant properties.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antimicrobial properties of star anise (Illicium verum Hook f).
TL;DR: Star anise (Illicium verum Hook f) has been shown to possess potent antimicrobial properties and chemical studies indicate that a major portion of this antimicrobial property is due to anethole present in the dried fruit.
Journal ArticleDOI
Glyoxalase III from Escherichia coli: a single novel enzyme for the conversion of methylglyoxal into d-lactate without reduced glutathione
TL;DR: The p-hydroxymercuribenzoate-inactivated enzyme could be almost completely re-activated by dithiothreitol and other thiol-group-containing compounds, indicating the possible involvement of thiol group(s) at or near the active site of the enzyme.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reduction of methylglyoxal in Escherichia coli K12 by an aldehyde reductase and alcohol dehydrogenase
TL;DR: Two enzymes, one NADPH-dependent and another NADH-dependent which catalyze the reduction of methylglyoxal to acetol have been isolated and substantially purified from crude extracts of Escherichia coli K12 cells and are shown to be identical with an aldehyde reductase and alcohol dehydrogenase.
Journal ArticleDOI
Acceleration of peroxidase and catalase activities in leaves of wild dicotyledonous plants, as an indication of automobile exhaust pollution
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of automobile exhaust pollution on wild dicotyledonous plants growing along a road carrying dense traffic was investigated and it was shown that there is a close correlation between the distance of the plants from the roadside and acceleration in peroxidase and catalase activities.
