In vitro anti-quorum sensing activity of phytol
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, Abingdon, 2015)
Anti-quorum sensing activity of the diterpene phytol was evaluated in vitro for the first time. This compound (at three sub-MIC concentrations - 0.5, 0.25 and 0.125 MIC, respectively) reduced the formation of Pseudomonas ...
Fatty acids of Rhodobryum ontariense (Bryaceae)
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, Abingdon, 2012)
The chemical composition of Rhodobryum ontariense (Kindb.) Kindb. has not been previously investigated. Fatty acids of this moss were analysed qualitatively and quantitatively with an aim to identify its corresponding ...
Sugar composition of the moss Rhodobryum ontariense (Kindb.) Kindb.
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, Abingdon, 2012)
Although the second biggest terrestrial group of plants, bryophytes remain poorly known chemically compared to the angiosperms. In this article, the sugars of the moss Rhodobryum ontariense, an unstudied representative of ...

The content of various heavy metals (arsenic, cadmium, chromium, copper, iron, lead, mercury, nickel, manganese and zinc) in the moss species Rhodobryum ontariense (Kindb.) Kindb. and its tea are presented in this study. ...
Acetylcholinesterase inhibition activity of acetylated depsidones from Lobaria pulmonaria
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, Abingdon, 2012)
As part of our ongoing project of new acetylcholinesterase inhibitors from lower marine and terrestrial species, a phytochemical investigation was conducted on a foliose lichen, Lobaria pulmonaria (L.) Hoffm. (Lobariaceae), ...
In vitro avarol does affect the growth of Candida sp.
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, Abingdon, 2016)
This work extends in vitro screening of antimicrobial activity of avarol, the marine natural product firstly isolated from the Mediterranean sponge Dysidea avara. Its anticandidial activity was evaluated by microdilution ...
In vitro antibiofilm activity of the freshwater bryozoan Hyalinella punctata: a case study of Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, Abingdon, 2016)
The antibiofilm and possible antiquorum sensing effects against the strain Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 of five crude extracts of the freshwater bryozoan Hyalinella punctata (Hancock, 1850) were evaluated in vitro for the ...
An insight into antimicrobial activity of the freshwater bryozoan Pectinatella magnifica
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, Abingdon, 2016)
The antimicrobial activity of five crude extracts of the freshwater bryozoan Pectinatella magnifica (Leidy, 1851) was evaluated in vitro for the first time. P. magnifica acetone extract exhibited the highest antibacterial ...
A contribution to pharmaceutical biology of freshwater sponges
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, Abingdon, 2018)
In vitro anti-tumour and anti-radical activities of the acetone extract of the freshwater sponge Ochridaspongia rotunda were the subject of this study. The extract was found to be highly cytotoxic to human lung tumour cell ...
