Distributions And Possible Roles Of Laminin, Fibronectin And Theirreceptor Subunits Integrin \Beta4 And \Alpha5 In Remodelling Of Extracellularmatrix During Decidualization In Rats, Ümi̇t Ali̇ Kayişli, Mevlüt Asar, Ramazan Demi̇r

Turkish Journal of Biology

In the endometrium preparing for pregnancy, the stromal matrix components of the cells and their products begin structural differentiation due to endometrial receptivity. According to the hypothesis that 'extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins and adhesion molecules take roles in the structural differentiation as a result of endometrial decidualization', our aim was to determine the roles of ECM molecules laminin, fibronectin and adhesion proteins integrin \alpha5 and \beta4 in the decidulization and implantation by examining the emergence and changing distribution of these proteins. In this study, five experimental groups, consisting of 40 pregnant animals on pregnancy days 4-8, were used. Paraffin tissue …

Obtaining Biosurfactant From Olive Oil Mill Effluent (Oome) Usingpseudomonas Sp., Uğur Sidal, Nazi̇f Kolankaya, Cengi̇z Kurtonur

Turkish Journal of Biology

Olive oil mill effluent (OOME) is one of the major pollutants produced by the agricultural industry in Mediterranean countries. The olive oil mills in these countries generate about 2-3 million tonnes of effluent annually. OOME is a black liquor containing a water-soluble fraction of ripe olives and water that is used in the process of olive oil extraction. This waste has a high mineral content and a chemical oxygen demand of 25.000-100.000 mg/l. depending on the olive oil extraction process used. This study presents a process for biosurfactant as rhamnolipid production by Pseudomonas sp. from olive oil mill effluent (OMME). …

Boron Accumulation In Carp Tissues ( Cyprinus Carpio L., 1758) In Damlakes Çötören And Kunduzlar (Kırka-Eskişehir), Şaki̇r Özkurt

Turkish Journal of Biology

Samples of water, bottom clay, plankton and fish were collected over a period of one year. The boron contents of the samples taken were determined in the laboratory. The differences and relationships in the obtained data were identified using various statistical methods. Boron gradually accumulates in the plankton, bottom clay and water of Çatören and Kunduzar. Boron collects in the tissues of the fish Cyprinus carpio in both lakes, in the musce, brain and liver in Çatören, and in the musce, liver and brain in Kunduzlar. Boron pollution is more serious in Çatören dam than in Kunduzlar. It was observed …

Transmission Of The Embryonic Stem Cell (Esc)Genome To Offspring And Sexual Development Inchimeric Mice From A Male Esc Line, Sezen Arat

Turkish Journal of Biology

This study was performed to determine the capability of embryonic stem (ES) cells at late passage number to form functional germ cells and to orientate the sexual development of chimeric mice produced from ES cell injection into embryos. When an R1 ES cell line was routinely cultured on mitotically inactivated feeder cells in culture medium supplemented with leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF), the colonies maintained an undifferentiated ideal ES cell morphology. When the ES cells were injected into 45 eight-cell embryos, 38 embryos (84%) combined with ES cells. Twenty-eight percent of the embryos transferred to recipients developed to term. Thirty percent …


Temporal And Spatial Determination Of Germinbiosynthesis In Wheat Tissues, Mahmut Çalişkan, Andrew C. Cuming Jan 2000

Temporal And Spatial Determination Of Germinbiosynthesis In Wheat Tissues, Mahmut Çalişkan, Andrew C. Cuming

Turkish Journal of Biology

In the current study, the biosynthesis of germin was determined in the organs of wheat embryos during germination. The temporal and spatial determination of germin protein was carried out by employing an anti-germin sera in gel-blot analysis. Germin was detected in the coleoptile, roots and vascular transition region of and 6-day-old germinated wheat seedlings. It was shown that the leaf tissue acquires germin accumulation only at the late stage of germination. The pellet fraction of protein homogenate obtained from embryos at different ages revealed higher germin accumulation than the supernatant fraction from the same sources.

Immunohistochemical Distribution Of Transforming Growth Factor Alpha,Laminin, Fibronectin And Desmin In Rat Ovary, Gökhan Akkoyunlu, İsmai̇l Üstünel, Ramazan Demi̇r

Turkish Journal of Biology

Since the pure synthesis of transforming growth facto alpha (TGF\alpha) many attempts have been made in order to determine its distribution in various tissues. As a result of the complexitiy of the cyclic periods throughout experimental models, it is not easy to determine the distribution of TGF\alpha in the system. Especially the pre-and through-gestational pattern of TGF\alpha in rat ovary has not been reported fully. Furthermore, the shortage of literature about intracellular desmin and laminin, fibronectin of different intermediate filaments whether they have any interaction with TGF\alpha through this period, makes the subject worth discussing. Immunocytochemical techniques were utilized in …

Production Of Gibberellic Acid And Cytokinin By Phanerochaete Chrysosporiumme446 Immobilized On Polyurethane Foam, Serpi̇l Ünyayar

Turkish Journal of Biology

The fungus Phanerochaete chrysosporium ME446 was entrapped on polyurethane foam to synthesize gibberellic acid (GA 3 equivalent) and Cytokinin (zeatin equivalent). Maximum gibberellic acid was defined on the 6 th day (44.43 µg/mL and 61.22 µg/mL, respectively) in both free and immobilized cells. Maximum cytokinin was defined on the 12 th day (9.61µg/mL and 16.33 µg/mL, respectively) in both free and immobilized cells. An immobilized system of gibberellic acid and cytokinin production resulted in comparatively higher yield than free fungal mycelium.


The Effect Of Cadmium Nitrate On Some Developmental Properties Ofdrosophila Melanogaster, Lütfi̇ye Gelegen, Eli̇f Yeşi̇lada Jan 2000

The Effect Of Cadmium Nitrate On Some Developmental Properties Ofdrosophila Melanogaster, Lütfi̇ye Gelegen, Eli̇f Yeşi̇lada

Turkish Journal of Biology

The effects of cadmium nitrate on the fecundity, larval survival and sex ratio of D. melanogaster were tested. According to our findings, the effects of cadmium nitrate can be summarized as follows: it appeared that when used as a feeding substance during the developmental period, cadmium nitrate did not have any effect on fecundity. On the other hand, if cadmium nitrate was given throughout adult life it caused a proportional decrease in the daily mean with increasing concentration. Furthermore, the larval survival ratio decreased due to the concentration of cadmium nitrate. Also cadmium nitrate application appeared to have no effect …
