TL;DR: This is the first report showing that the metabolites produced by the Lactobacillus fermentum TcUESC01 have a potential to be used as an antimicrobial agent against S. mutans, showing anti-adherence and bactericidal activity against planktonic cells of S. mutations.

TL;DR: Results show that EST-derived microsatellites (short sequence repeats, SSRs) in Theobroma cacao have many potential applications in linkage mapping and the planning of crosses.
Abstract: Theobroma cacao L.–Moniliophthora perniciosa expressed sequence tags (ESTs) were converted into useful satellite markers for population analysis and genetic mapping. Forty-nine flanking primer pairs from TSH1188 (a resistant genotype) and Catongo (a susceptible genotype) ESTs were designed and screened for polymorphism analysis. Eleven were polymorphic, with an average of 3.81 alleles per locus and a total of 42 alleles. The satellite markers were tested on 21 cacao accessions and two bulked DNAs generated from 6 resistant and 6 susceptible plants from a segregating F2 (SCA6 × ICS1) population for witches’ broom resistance. These results show that EST-derived microsatellites (short sequence repeats, SSRs) in Theobroma cacao have many potential applications in linkage mapping and the planning of crosses.

TL;DR: A review of the history and oil production of these stations indicates that substantial catches occurred as discussed by the authors, and it is estimated that between approximately 11,000 and 32,000 individuals of this species were captured at these coastal whaling stations from 1830 to 1924.
Abstract: Historical catch records from whaling activity are crucial for assessments of whale populations. However, several gaps in the exploitation history for many populations from before the twentieth century create limitations that may lead to overestimates of the recovery of these populations. The history of modern whaling along the Brazilian coast is relatively well known. However, several questions relating to the pre-modern period, during and before the nineteenth century, remain unanswered. For example, the level of exploitation of humpback whales Megaptera novaeangliae and southern right whales Eubalaena australis in this period is unknown.
Pre-modern whaling in Brazil began in 1602 and lasted until the 1920s. Whales were captured using manual harpoons from either rowing boats or sailing boats, and processed at land stations called ‘armacoes’. A review of the history and oil production of these stations indicates that substantial catches occurred.
Pre-modern whaling records also indicate the collapse of the southern right whale population in the western South Atlantic Ocean. Increasingly rare reports of sightings for the nineteenth century and the closing of the last armacao in the breeding grounds off southern Brazil indicate that this population collapsed by 1830.
Armacoes operating in north-eastern Brazil remained active through the 1800s, and targeted humpback whales until modern whaling techniques were introduced in the early 1900s. It is estimated that between approximately 11000 and 32000 individuals of this species were captured at these coastal whaling stations from 1830 to 1924.

TL;DR: The target of this review is to present the various patents related to the extraction methods and their claims, and to discuss the evidence found in the literature about the pharmacological activities of green tea.
Abstract: Green tea is one of the most consumed beverages in the world. Presently, Camellia sinensis has become a source not only for the development of several food extracts but also nutraceutical, cosmetic and medicinal purposes. The technology developed to produce these extracts aims to improve the organoleptic characteristics of the products as taste and smell, and their shelf life. But it also searches to demonstrate some medicinal attributes like antioxidant, anti-aging, anti-tumor and anti-viral activities in relation to the chemical composition of the green tea catechins, especially (-)-epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG). The target of this review is to present the various patents related to the extraction methods and their claims, and to discuss the evidence found in the literature about the pharmacological activities of green tea. It summarizes the recent progress in technology to obtain the green tea extract and in clinical studies on its applications. Health-promoting products and disease-preventing applications of green tea extract or compounds isolated from it also take part of this text.
