Cobalt complexation was investigated in a suspension cell culture of the cobalt hyperaccumulator Crotalaria cobalticola. C. cobalticola cells were more tolerant towards cobalt ions than the suspension cells of the non-accumulators Rauvolfia serpentina and Silene cucubalus. While the concentration of
A proteinaceous trypsin inhibitor was purified from Crotalaria pallida seeds by ammonium sulfate precipitation, affinity chromatography on immobilized trypsin-Sepharose and TCA precipitation. The trypsin inhibitor, named CpaTI, had M(r) of 32.5 kDa as determined by SDS-PAGE and was composed of two
Bioactive molecules of plant species are promising alternatives for the chemical control of gastrointestinal nematodes in ruminants. Extracts of native and exotic seed species from Brazil's semi-arid region were tested in vitro in an egg hatch assay and the bioactivity of their proteins was
The characterization of legume proteases contributes to the understanding of the physiology of plants and their interaction with the environment. Thirteen extracts from various parts of Crotalaria spectabilis were made using different extraction systems. The highest protein content was found in
Crotalarin, the N-acetyl-D-galactosamine-binding blood group A-specific lectin from the seeds of Crotalaria striata was subjected to various chemical modifications in order to ascertain the amino acid residues responsible for its carbohydrate-binding property. Modification of lysine, cysteine and
