Melittin—A Natural Peptide from Bee Venom Which Induces Apoptosis in Human Leukaemia Cells
(MDPI, 2020): Bee venom is a very complex mixture produced and secreted by the honeybee (Apis mellifera). Melittin is a major component of bee venom that accounts for about 52% of its dry mass. A vast number of studies have been ... -
What factors influence colonization of lichens, liverworts, mosses and vascular plants on snags?
(Springer Nature, 2019)The dead standing trees i.e. snags are known as habitat for epiphytic and epixylic species including first of all lichens and bryophytes. The vascular plants are much rarer on this type of coarse woody debris (CWD). The ... -
Characterisation of the wheat phospholipid fraction in the presence of nickel and/or selenium
Gajewska, Ewa
; Wielanek, Marzena ; ; (Springer Nature, 2014)
The influence of nickel (Ni) and/or selenium (Se) on phospholipid composition was studied in shoots and roots of wheat seedlings. Phospholipid differences between samples were analysed using liquid chromatography/electrospray ... -
Toxoplasma gondii Recombinant antigen AMA1: Diagnostic Utility of Protein Fragments for the Detection of IgG and IgM Antibodies
(MDPI, 2020)Toxoplasma gondii is an important zoonotic protozoan that infects a wide variety of vertebrates as intermediate hosts. For this reason, the diagnosis of this disease is very important and requires continuous improvement. ... -
How Joannites’ economy eradicated primeval forest and created anthroecosystems in medieval Central Europe
(Springer Nature, 2020)During European states’ development, various past societies utilized natural resources, but their impact was not uniformly spatially and temporally distributed. Considerable changes resulted in landscape fragmentation, ... -
A tip of the iceberg—Pseudotanaidae (Tanaidacea) diversity in the North Atlantic
; ; Błażewicz, Magdalena (Springer Nature, 2018)
During two IceAGE expeditions, a large collection of Tanaidacea was gathered from the shelf down to the slope (213−2750 m) in six areas off Iceland—the Irminger Basin, the Iceland Basin, the Norwegian Sea, the Denmark ... -
Melatonin Improves the Photosynthetic Apparatus in Pea Leaves Stressed by Paraquat via Chlorophyll Breakdown Regulation and Its Accelerated de novo Synthesis
(Frontiers, 2017)The positive effect of melatonin on the function of the photosynthetic apparatus is known, but little is known about the specific mechanisms of melatonin’s action in plants. The influence of melatonin on chlorophyll ... -
Diatom indices in the biological assessment of the water quality based on the example of a small lowland river
(De Gruyter / Springer, 2014)The aim of the study was to compare the biological analyzes of the Linda River (Central Poland), which were based on three diatom indices: IO, GDI and IPS in order to select the best diatom index for the biological assessment ... -
