It is indicated from the experimental results that the growth of Nostoc commune flagelliforme cells can be stimulated by La(NO3)(3) at the concentrations from 1 to 200 mg.L-1, and among them the treatment of 100 mg.L-1 La(NO3)(3) has the largest A(670) and dry weight which increased by 64.9% and 61.1%, respectively as compared with the control, and La(NO3)(3) can also influence the contents of some kinds of amino acids in Nostoc commune flagelliforme cells. The contents of aspartic acid and glutamic acid decreased by 59.9% and 57.9%, respectively, and that of proline increased by 24.5% with the treatment of 200 mg.L-1 La(NO3)(3).展开更多

COX-2 expression was stained by immunocytochemistry.Results: T. flagelliforme showed anticancer activity and induced apoptosis on Wi Dr cells through inhibition of COX-2 expression with IC5070 mg/m L.Conclusions: This study showed that T. flagelliforme is a promising chemopreventive agent for colon cancer through COX-2 inhibition.展开更多

Rhizome bud was used as explant and cultured onto shoot proliferation medium under different strength of MS media(full,1/2,1/4) in solid and liquid culture media.Results: After 6 weeks of culture, the number of shoot, number of leaf, number of root,height of shoot, fresh weight, dry weight and chlorophyll content of T. flagelliforme were analyzed. A comparison was made between liquid and solid culture media. The results revealed that the liquid culture media were more effective for all the growth parameters(shoot height, shoot number, leaf number, root number, fresh weight, dry weight, chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b content) compared to solid culture media. Apart from that,this study revealed the positive relationship between strength of MS media and type of culture media(solid and liquid media) to the growth of T. flagelliforme. Growth of T. flagelliforme was improved when MS strength was increased in liquid media. In contrast, growth of T. flagelliforme was improved when MS strength was decreased in solid media.Conclusions: Through this study, an optimum media composition for mass propagation of T. flagelliforme had been established by observing effects of MS media strength and type of culture media(solid and liquid media) on the growth of T. flagelliforme.展开更多

We detected high vitamin B12 contents in samples of naturally grown cells (109.2 ± 18.5 μg/100g dry weight) and cultured cells (120.2 ± 53.6 μg/100g dry weight). However, commercially available hair vegetable samples, which comprised fake substitutes and Nostoc, had variable contents (4.8 - 101.6 μg/100g dry weight) because concomitant fake items contain very low vitamin B12 contents. To evaluate whether natural and cultured N. flagelliforme samples contained vitamin B12 or pseudovitamin B12, corrinoid compounds were purified and identified as pseudovitamin B12 (approximately 72%) and vitamin B12 (approximately 28%) using silica gel 60 TLC bioautography and LC/MS. The results suggested that N. flagelliforme contains substantial amounts of pseudovitamin B12, which is inactive in humans.展开更多
