Chestnut belongs to the group of honey-bearing plants with a high production of pollen and nectar, and honey is characterized by specific chemical and organoleptic properties and a high content of minerals. Its biogeographical distribution is limited to only three areas on the territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The aim of the work is to determine the distribution and representation of the pollen of this honey plant in honey samples originating from Bosnia and Herzegovina. For research purposes, 100 honey samples were collected directly from the producer. Based on the micromorphological characteristics of the pollen grains, honey plants, and the exact number of their pollen grains were identified. A total of 4520 chestnut pollen grains were identified in 40 analyzed melissopalynological profiles of honey. It was concluded, that the specific geographical and ecological distribution of chestnuts in the territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina directly affects the melissopalynological composition of the samples, as well as the botanical characteristics of the honey.","PeriodicalId":430864,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Institute of Biology University of Sarajevo","volume":"198200 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115186001","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}

Remediation of aquatic ecosystems depends on maintaining a healthy zoobenthos community. The first step in restoring aquatic ecosystems is to understand the hydrology and water quality parameters that influence zoobenthos variation. Based on field sampling of the river zoobenthos in the watercourses of Donji Vakuf, the current study used principal component analysis to identify the key habitat elements affecting zoobenthic communities. Bray-Curtis similarity was used to compare analyzed zoobenthic communities. The findings in this study demonstrate that water temperature, dissolved oxygen, total Phosphourous and total Nitrogen were the main physical and chemical water quality parameters affecting the zoobenthic populations in investegated watercourses. The highest similarity of analyzed macrozoobenthos communities was observed between Semešnica river and Sokolinski stream. All of the approaches described in this work can be used for studies on different communities, such as fish, algae, and zooplankton in aquatic ecosystems. Managers can use the techniques and findings in this report as important references to safeguard and revitalize deteriorated water ecosystems.","PeriodicalId":430864,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Institute of Biology University of Sarajevo","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116842416","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}

The aim of this study was to examine the biofilm-forming capacity of staphylococci on various metal, plastic and leather surfaces in our living and working environment and the association between their biofilm production and methicillin resistance. Detection of methicillin resistance in staphylococci isolates were examined by cefoxitin disc diffusion test. Production of bacterial biofilms was investigated by two phenotypic methods: crystal violet (CV) tube-adherence method and Congo red agar (CRA) plate method. A total of 88 staphylococci isolates, 47 (53.41%) of S. aureus and 41 (46.59 %) of S. epidermidis strains were recovered from 100 collected samples. Among them, 35 methicillin-resistant strains (20 MRSA and 15 MRSE) were detected. Applying the CV tube adherence method, 21 (39.62%) MRSA and MRSE isolates were positive for biofilm production, while using the CRA method 15 (44.12%) MRSA and MRSE strains were detected as biofilm producers. Statistical analysis did not find association between biofilm production ability and methicillin resistance in both applied methods for a significance level of 0.05. The study shows that different objects and surfaces contaminated with biofilm-forming staphylococci, including MRSA and MRSE, may serve as environmental source of infection for long periods of time.","PeriodicalId":430864,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Institute of Biology University of Sarajevo","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130385107","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}

So far, SARS-CoV-2 is confirmed in 636.440.663 patients worldwide, and it is responsible for 6.606.624 deaths. Plants possess a number of chemical constituents, which act as inhibitors of viral proteins and can be used in the treatment of viral diseases, with a lower rate of virus resistance. The retrospective investigation covered a period of 27 years, from 1995 to 2022 and it is implemented through the analysis of results from previously reported studies focused on alternative anti-coronavirus agents. The total of 73 plant species from 46 families, with reported anti-coronavirus activity, was noted. Considering the number of species with anti-coronavirus effects, the most prevalent family was Fabaceae with 9.59%. Many bioactive compounds were secondary metabolites, and the vast majority was isolated from leaves. The anti-coronavirus activity of plant products was recorded against six coronaviruses: SARS-CoV, SARS-CoV-2, MERS-CoV, BCV, HCoV-OC43, and HCoV-NL63. Among the mechanisms of antiviral action, the inhibition of 3-chymotrypsin-like protease, 3Clpro was frequently described. This study illustrated the high potential of plants and their products in terms of anti-coronaviral compounds. Since viruses represent molecular pathogens, with high mutations range as well as resistance to synthetic antiviral drugs, a novel investigation should be oriented towards the isolation and characterization of efficient antiviral agents of natural origin.","PeriodicalId":430864,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Institute of Biology University of Sarajevo","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121375921","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}

Changes in species diversity are a signal indicating that a significant and, as a rule, long-term change in one or more factors has occurred in the aquatic ecosystem. This in long term could lead to reduction of diversity and significant changes in the structure and dynamics of aquatic ecosystems. Biomonitoring of ichthyofauna is a very important element in the ecological assessment of water quality since changes in the structure of the fish community reflect changes in the quality of water in freshwater systems. The grouping of fish into ecological guilds has greatly improved our understanding of the impact of anthropogenic activities on fish and their communities. Therefore, the fish guilds represent the basis for ecological assessment based on the preferences of each recorded species in relation to tolerance, habitats, nutrition, reproduction and migrations. The results of the analyses of the structure of fish communities at 166 sites in biotic type 6 in the waters from the Black Sea Basin in Bosnia and Herzegovina have shown that the greatest influence on the distribution of different fish species has water temperature, flow, dissolved oxygen, and pH value. Obtained results clearly indicate an inverse relationship between altitude and the level of fish biodiversity. Values of applied diversity indices stress that fish communities in a river system usually follow a pattern of increasing species richness and diversity from upstream to downstream.","PeriodicalId":430864,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Institute of Biology University of Sarajevo","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132608394","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}
