Being propagated by cuttings without difficulty, it is become pretty common, though no figure of it has, we believe, been hitherto published. We have received specimens of this plant from several quarters, under the names of Pogonia tuberculata, aspera, and scabra. Our drawing was taken from a plant communicated by Messrs. Loddiges and Sons. Introduced in 1803, by Mr. Peter Good ...
Australian native plants have a long history of therapeutic use in indigenous cultures, however, they have been poorly studied scientifically. We analysed the effects of 14 plant derived compounds from the species Pilidiostigma glabrum, Myoporum montanum, Geijera parviflora, and Rhodomyrtus psidioides for their potential wound healing properties by assessing their ability to induce or suppress Collagen I and Collagen III expression in human skin fibroblasts in culture. The compound 7-geranyloxycoumarin was able to significantly increase Collagen I (23.7%, p b 0.0002) expression in comparison to control. Significant suppression of Collagen III was observed for the compounds flindersine (11.1%, p b 0.02), and (N-acetoxymethyl) flindersine (27%, p b 0.00005). The implications of these finding is that these compounds could potentially alter the expression of different collagens in the skin allowing for the potential development of new wound healing therapies and new approaches for treating various skin

ABSTRACT: The fungal associates of the rare tree Hibiscadelphus giffardianus were studied. Three of these (Eutypella giffardiani, Thyridaria hawaiiensis, and Valsonectria macrospora) are described and illustrated as new to science.. KEYWORDS: Ascomycota, Hawaii, taxonomy. ...
To help their communities better use local solar energy, planners can highlight how local development regulations either support or inhibit the installation of both accessory and primary solar energy systems in different areas of their communities.
TY - JOUR. T1 - The ADEP biosynthetic gene cluster in Streptomyces hawaiiensis NRRL 15010 reveals an accessory clpP gene as a novel antibiotic resistance factor. AU - Thomy, Dhana. AU - Culp, Elizabeth. AU - Adamek, Martina. AU - Cheng, Eric Y.. AU - Ziemert, Nadine. AU - Wright, Gerard D.. AU - Sass, Peter. AU - Brötz-Oesterhelt, Heike. PY - 2019. Y1 - 2019. N2 - The increasing threat posed by multiresistant bacterial pathogens necessitates the discovery of novel antibacterials with unprecedented modes of action. ADEP1, a natural compound produced by Streptomyces hawaiiensis NRRL 15010, is the prototype for a new class of acyldepsipeptide (ADEP) antibiotics. ADEP antibiotics deregulate the proteolytic core ClpP of the bacterial caseinolytic protease, thereby exhibiting potent antibacterial activity against Gram-positive bacteria, including multiresistant pathogens. ADEP1 and derivatives, here collectively called ADEP, have been previously investigated for their antibiotic potency against ...
Sir,. Phaeohyphomycetes are dematiaceous (brown pigmented) fungi which derive their pigmentation from melanin in cell walls. Cutaneous and subcutaneous infections due to this group of fungi are reported globally, usually following traumatic implantation of the fungal elements through contaminated soil, wood splinters or thorns. Bipolaris hawaiiensis is a phaeohyphomycete which belongs to division Deuteromycota and genus Cochliobolus. They have been occasionally found in humans, mainly as chronic colonizers and in patients with allergic sinusitis. We present a case of post surgery subcutaneous infection due to Bipolaris hawaiiensis, which has very rarely been reported in the literature.. A 30-year-old lady presented with complaints of recurrent swelling and pus discharge from a laparotomy surgery scar for 3 months. She had undergone surgery for removal of ovarian cysts due to polycystic ovarian disease, two weeks prior to the beginning of these complaints. There was mild to moderate pain at the ...
We know of no features that separate H. dispar from H. hawaiiensis. The type locality for H. dispar is the Mediterranean Sea (off Messsina, Sicily), North Atlantic, while the type locality for H. hawaiiensis is the Hawaiian Archipelago in the central North Pacific. The two species have not been compared side by side, and, therefore, have not been synonymized. Hopefully, DNA data will tell us before long if careful morphological comparisons are needed. H. dispar has priority but our access to specimens in excellent condition and illustrations of H. hawaiiensis is responsible for our presenting a description of the latter species. Therefore, if you wish to see a virtual description of H. dispar, please go to the H. hawaiiensis page.. ...
About anaglyph 3D: Photographs here are in 3D, using anaglyph techniques which combines two photographs one in red and the other in cyan (blue + green) color. To get the 3D effect, you must use glasses with red and cyan lenses (filters) over your regular glasses. The form of the beak is far easier to interpret in 3D and we strongly recommend to the viewer that the glasses be obtained (this is especially helpful when viewing enlarged images - i.e. click on the image). These beak photographs were made using Red and Cyan Anachrome Aviator Glasses (see: http://www.anachrome.com/glassbuy.htm or http://www.amazon.com) which cost under $10.00 (USD)..

The cell-wall D-mannans of Candida parapsilosis, Endomycopsis fibuliger, Saccharomyces rouxii, Torulopsis apicola (Hajsig strain), and Torulopsis bombi were degraded with an exo alpha-D-mannosidase from Arthrobacter GJM-1 to their alpha-(1-6)-linked D-mannopyranose main-chains, as demonstrated by p.m.r. spectroscopy. D-Galacto-D-mannans from Candida lipolytica, Torulopsis gropengiesseri, Torulopsis lactis-condensi, Torulopsis magnoliae, and Trichosporon fermentans could be degraded to polysaccharides containing mainly 6-O-linked alpha-D-mannopyranosyl residues following preferential removal of their enzyme-resistant, D-galactopyranosyl non-reducing end-units with acid. The D-mannans of Saccharomyces lodderi, Citeromyces matritensis, and Pichia pastoris could also be enzymically degraded to polysaccharides containing predominantly alpha-(1-6)-linked D-mannopyranosyl residues after hydrolysis of most of the beta-D-linked residues in their side chains with acid. The exo alpha-D-mannosidase, as would be
Biogeography. Havran, J [1], McCauley, Ross [2]. Preliminary phylogeny of the endemic Hawaiian genus Nototrichium.. The genus Nototrichium (Amaranthaceae) contains three species of shrubs to small trees endemic to the Hawaiian archipelago. Previous molecular systematic studies have demonstrated that Nototrichium is sister to the widespread tropical genus Achyranthes. Due to similarities in flower morphology and woody growth form, the Norfolk Island endemic Achyranthes arborescens is hypothesized to be sister to Nototrichium. We investigated the molecular systematic relationships between species of Nototrichium and Pacific species of Achyranthes. DNA from each species of Nototrichium (N. sandwicense, N. humile, and N. divaricatum) occurring on each Hawaiian island and species of Pacific Achyranthes was extracted from leaf materials obtained from field collections, herbarium specimens, and DNA libraries. The Internal Transcribed Spacer sequences and several chloroplast regions were amplified and ...
Summary Large numbers of Xenopsylla vexabilis hawaiiensis were needed to carry out tests of its efficiency as a plague vector. Efficient culture of the Hawaiian flea was accomplished in white enameled buckets containing a housed host rat together with a larval substrate consisting of sand and powdered dog pellets (Friskies). The pupae were kept at a temperature of from 23° to 27°C. and a relative humidity of from 93 per cent to 100 per cent. These conditions differed from those required by Xenopsylla cheopis, which was maintained separately at lower temperature and humidity. The pupae were sifted from the sand approximately every 3 weeks for maximum production. In nature, X. v. hawaiiensis was found to breed in rat nests which consisted mainly of dried grass leaves. This evidence, together with the results of laboratory culture, suggests that the fleas probably do not breed on the surface of the ground, nor do the larvae require green grass as formerly postulated.
