Acantholimon koycegizicum Dogan & Akaydin sp. nova and A. goksunicum Dogan & Akaydin sp. nova (Plumbaginaceae) are described and illustrated from Anatolia, Turkey. Acantholimon koycegizicum grows on serpentine mountain slopes between Koycegiz and Kaplicalar (C2 Mugla) in South West Anatolia, and A. goksunicum grows on calcareous mountain steppe in Goksun (B6 Kahramanmaras) in SE Anatolia. The species are closely related to A. calvertii, an endemic confined to East Anatolia. Diagnostic morphological characters are discussed. A revised key to Turkish Acantholimon species with 2-5-branched terminal spikes and previous years' stem with persistent circinate leaf bases, is also presented along with notes on the ecology, biogeography and conservational status of the new species.

A new species of Acantholimon Boiss. (Plumbaginaceae) from Ankara, Turkey Doğan, Musa (Oxford University Press (OUP), 2002-12-01) Acantholimon anatolicum Dogan & Akaydin sp. nov. (Plumbaginaceae) is described and illustrated. The species grows on deep gypsum-rich sandy soil on eroded mountain slopes between Cayirhan and Nallihan in Ankara. Diagnostic morphological characters that discern it from closely related species are discussed and its conservation status is indicated. A revised key to Acantholimon species with dense terminal spikes and excurrent scapes is given for the species found in Turkey. (C) The Linnean Society of London.
Limonium gueneri (Plumbaginaceae), a new species from Turkey Doagan, Musa; DUMAN, HAYRİ; AKAYDIN, GALİP (2008-10-30) Limonium gueneri Dogan, Duman & Akaydin sp. nova (Plumbaginaceae) is described and illustrated from Patara (C2 Antalya, Turkey), where it grows on calcareous slopes on the coast. It is probably closely related to L. ocymifolium (Poir.) Kuntze, an East Mediterranean species. The diagnostic morphological characters are discussed. A taxonomic key for the coastline species of Turkish Limonium without sterile branches is also presented along with some notes on the ecology and biogeography of the new species.
A new species of Marrubium L. ()Lamiaceae) from Turkey Akgül, Gençay; Ketenoğlu, Osman; Doğan, Musa (2017-12-01) Marrubium sivasense Aytaç, Akgül & Ekici sp. nova (Lamiaceae) is described and illustrated from Central Anatolia, Turkey. The new species most resembles Marrubium depauperatum, but it differs by 3-10 flowered verticillasters, crenate to crenulated leaf margins, and unequal calyx teeth. The ecology and phenology of the new species as well as its etymology, conservation status, and diagnostic features are discussed.
An investigation of bacterial and fungal xylanolytic systems Yaşınok, Ayşegül Ersayın; Bakır, Ufuk; Department of Biotechnology (2006) Endo-b-1,4 xylanases (EC. 3.2.1.8) are typically produced as a mixture of different hydrolytic enzymes such as b-1,4-xylosidase (EC. 3.2.1.37) , a-Larabinofuranosidases (EC. 3.2.1.55), and feruloyl esterase (EC 3.1.1.73) that hydrolyze xylan molecule, which constitutes 20-30% of the weight of wood and agricultural wastes. Thus, xylan, a renewable biomass, can be utilized as a substrate for the preparation of many products such as fuels, solvents and pharmaceuticals. Besides, xylanolytic enzymes themselves a...
A survey of East Mediterranean Dasumia (Araneae, Dysderidae) with description of new species Elverici, Mert; Özkütük, Recep Sulhi; Kunt, Kadir Boğaç (Pensoft Publishers, 2011-10-14) Dasumia gasparoi sp. n. is described based on specimens of both sexes. The new species is compared with the similar D. crassipalpis (Simon, 1882), described from Syria; and with D. mariandyna Brignoli, 1979, the only previously known species of the genus recorded from Turkey. Furthermore, we point out that, due to some contradictions to the original description of the genus, D. mariandyna may necessarily belong to another genus. Detailed morphological descriptions, diagnosis and figures of the copulatory or...
