Assessing the involvement of BslA in plant-root associated biofilms
… (TasA), in addition to a bacterial hydrophobin (BslA). TasA and EPS have previously been shown to be required for biofilm formation and biocontrol by B. subtilis on many different plant species. However, no previous work has investigated a possible role for BslA in plant-associated biofilm …

Toxicology and herb-drug interaction of selected anti-hypertension plants used by lay persons in Northern KwaZulu-Natal (South Africa)
… three assays [the brine shrimp lethality assay (BSLA), Ames test and MTT assay (human hepatocarcinoma cell line HepG2/C3A)]. The toxicity interaction of the plant combination was evaluated using the sum of fractional inhibitory concentration (ΣFIC). Herb-drug interaction was performed on the …

Microemulsions containing centella asiatica extract as antioxidant and anti-acetylcholinesterase agent
… Additionally, the brine shrimp lethality assay (BSLA) showed a mortality 10%. In conclusion, this study shows that F1 has good antioxidant and anti-acetylcholinesterase activities which can play a promising role as potential antioxidant and anti-AChE therapeutic agent.

Understanding the role of TapA in the formation of <i>B. subtilis</i> biofilms: a biochemical and genetic analysis
… (EPS) and the protein components BslA, TasA and TapA. TasA is a fibre forming protein which has been described in the literature as an amyloid-forming fibre, however, recent work contradicts this finding. The current work focusses on TapA (TasA anchoring/assembly protein; formerly …

Studies on biological activities of Scottish plants.
… some degree of generalised toxicity in the BSLA. The most toxic extract was the methanol extract of Malva moschata (LD50 2.25 X 10-3 mg/mL). The most toxic compound in the BSLA was moschamindole (LD50 = 9.14 X 10-6 muM) followed by hederacine A (LD50 = 1.09 x 10- muM), matairesinol (LD50 = …

Characterisation of the localisation and function of the Bacillus subtilis YuaB protein during biofilm formation
Bacteria can actively communicate and interact with each other to establish multicellular communities. Many of these processes involve functional differentiation of cells into specialised subpopulations by expression of varying genetic programmes. This leads to division of labour between the …
