The purpose of the present study is to investigate the single and joint effect of zinc and copper to the growth pattern of the metal tolerant species of Arthrobacter sp. JM018. The results showed that, both, Zn and Cu at concentrations between 1 to 10 µM stimulated the growth of the above microorganism at 35 °C. Stimulation was reduced with the increase of Zn concentration, while the opposite phenomenon was observed for copper. On the other hand, similar concentrations of joint Zn and Cu resulted to slight growth inhibition, indicating antagonism between the studied heavy metals. Experiments with the same microorganism at 20 °C and 35 °C, at metal free and 10 µM Zn, indicated that the stimulatory effect of zinc was significantly more pronounced at lower temperatures. The latter is indicative of the strong role of temperature on the expression of heavy metals to microorganisms.

The role of the cross pathway control protein in the stress response and adaptation of aspergillus species to antifungals Amarsaikhan, Nansalmaa; Ögel, Zümrüt Begüm; Bakır, Ufuk; Department of Biotechnology (2010) In this study, the adaptation and response of Aspergillus nidulans and Aspergillus fumigatus wild type and cpcA strains to antifungal compounds were studied using cultural, genetic and proteomic methods. CpcA is the fungal cross pathway control protein which may also have a role in the development of resistance to antifungal that has become a major problem in human and plant fungal diseases and many studies are devoted to address the drug resistance mechanisms. Cell adapts itself to stress when it is subje...
The assessment of boron toxicity tolerance in F6 RILs of durum wheat [Triticum turgidum (L.) Tell. convar. durum (Desf.) Mackey] Göçmen Taşkın, Belgin; Özbek, Özlem; Keskin Şan, Sibel; Nachit, Miloudi Mikael; Kaya, Zeki (2021-01-01) The identification of new genotypes tolerant to the boron toxicity is very important for the breeding programs carried out in the arid and semiarid regions of West Asia and North Africa region. This study aims to determine the genotypes tolerant to the boron toxicity in 141 F6 recombinant inbred lines (RILs) of durum wheat. 141 RILs were characterized in terms of their tolerance to boron toxicity using the parameters: 1–5 scale of symptom score, dry matter yield, biomass reduction, tissue boron concentratio...
Effect of cold stress on barley (hordeum vulgare L.) superoxide dismutase isozyme activities and expression levels of cu/znsod gene Kayıhan, Ceyhun; Yücel, Ayşe Meral; Department of Biotechnology (2007) In this study, effect of cold stress and recovery on the superoxide dismutase (SOD) activities and the expression levels of Cu/ZnSOD gene were investigated in two barley cultivars (Tarm-92-winter type, Zafer-160-spring type). Eight days old barley seedlings were subjected to two different cold stresses; chilling stress at 4°C for 1, 3, 7 days and freezing stress at -3°C and -7°C. Analyses were performed both on leaf and root tissues. The SOD activities and isozyme patterns were determined by Native PAGE act...
The effect of hybrid vigor on callus induction and plant regeneration from mature embryo culture of barley (Hordeum vulgare) Ozgen, M; Birsin, MA; Onde, S (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2005-07-01) The influence of hybrid vigor on callus induction, callus weight, regeneration capacity of callus, culture efficiency and number of regenerated plants from mature embryo cultures of winter barley ( Hordeum vulgare L.) hybrid was studied. A total of 15 F-1 hybrids and their parents were used for mature embryo culture. The statistical analysis of the results revealed that positive heterosis was noticed for all these characters except for callus weight. Plants regenerated in vitro were successfully established...
The Effect of 15-lipoxygenase-1 (15-LOX-1) on angiogenesis in colorectal and prostate cancer Çolakoğlu, Melis; Banerjee, Sreeparna; Department of Biology (2017) 15-lipoxygenase-1 (15-LOX-1) is one of the lipoxygenases (LOX) that are important for the generation of inflammatory bioactive lipids, which then result in the initiation and resolution of inflammation. The enzyme mainly metabolizes the omega-6 fatty acid, linoleic acid, to 13-(S)-HODE. In colorectal carcinoma, the tumor suppressive role of 15-LOX-1 is highlighted with decreased proliferation, induction of apoptosis, reduced motility and invasion. Oppositely, the expression of 15-LOX-1 was reported to have ...
