Polyphenol contents are a group of natural compounds for drug discovery. The correlation of their potential to act as biologically activity (depend on polyphenolic content) and photophysical properties have been investigated. Fruit ripening and beginning of flowering stage was observed highest emision value, beginning of flowering bulb is highest florescence quantum yield. The quantum yields were calculated and as a result, the highest value belongs to after flowering leaf and bulb.","PeriodicalId":287513,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Science Letters","volume":"87 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-08-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115056662","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

After the isolation, to confirmation of the isolates, catalase test, microscopic examination, coagulase test in tube and glucose-mannitol fermentation tests were applied. After the tests, we obtained 97 CPS isolates. The 97 CPS isolates were used as a material. For the confirmation of the isolates being Staphylococci species, 16S rRNA was detected by using PCR assay. For the detection of the CPS isolates being S. aureus , nuc gene detected in the CPS isolates using PCR assay. To determination of the staphylococcal enterotoxin, PCR assay was applied. The 16 S rRNA was detected in a total 97 (35 milk origin and 62 cheese origin) isolates. Therefore, these isolates were evaluated as coagulase-positive staphylococci ( CPS). The nuc gene was detected in 50 out of 97 CPS isolates. So, the 50 (18 cheese origin and 32 milk origin) isolates were evaluated as S. aureus. However, none of the staphylococcal enterotoxin genes (SE A,B,C,D,E,G,H,I,J) was detected in 97 CPS or 50 S. aureus isolates.","PeriodicalId":287513,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Science Letters","volume":"65 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-08-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117014404","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In winter, spring and summer seasons, total 1234 samples taken from sources-well, water tanks and central city tap water between January and July were used. A total of 66 samples taken from resources and wells used for consumption in Corum proved to have seasonal changes, and some increment and diminish in bacteria rate are defined. According to the “Regulation on Waters for Human Consumption”; Chloride value: 0.2-0.5 mg/L (photometric method) was detected in the value range, and at the end daily control and checking, 1168 samples were gathered from the water samples among January and July in Corum province.

Gozukirmizi","doi":"10.38058/IJSL.585052","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.38058/IJSL.585052","url":null,"abstract":"Transposable elements ( TEs ) were first discovered in maize plants. However, they exist almost in all species with a few exceptions ( Plasmodium falciparum, Ashbya gossypii and Kluveromuyces lactis ) . They are the most important contributors to genome plasticity and evolution and even epigenetic genome regulation. Organisms with large genomes have high transposon percentages. For example, Arabidopsis thaliana has a genome size of 125 Mb which comprises 14% transposons, Homo sapiens (3000 Mb) 45-48.5%, and Hordeum vulgare genome (5300 Mb) has 80%. TEs are classified into two major groups based on their transposition mechanisms: Class I (RNA transposons – retrotransposons) and Class II (DNA transposons). Recent progress in whole-genome sequencing and long-read assembly have resulted in identification of unprecedentedly long transposable units spanning dozens or even hundreds of kilobases, initially in prokaryotic and more recently in eukaryotic systems. All TEs in a cell are named as transposome (mobilome), and transposomics is a new area to work with transposome. Although a number of bioinformatics softwares have recently been developed for the annotation of TEs in sequenced genomes, there are very few computational tools strictly dedicated to the identification of active TEs using genome-wide approaches. In this review article, after a brief introduction and review of the transposable elements, I discussed their effects in gene expression, evolution, recent applications and also share our research on retrotransposons with different organisms.","PeriodicalId":287513,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Science Letters","volume":"64 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-08-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117337901","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
