Since they are able to grow on the walls, their elimination is important not only from a medical point of view, but also from the point of view of preservation of cultural heritage. The major fungal growth is observed in buildings with high relative humidity. Nowadays 15 to 40% of North Americans and Northern Europeans encounter mould growth in indoor conditions (Andersen et al. 2011). Malt extract agar medium was prepared for this study. Four different modified clay powders from LLC Baltic Clay Minerals where added to 0.2 and 2.0% concentration. One half of media were infected with Cladosporium herbarum, other half with Alternaria alternata. Plates were incubated at room temperature and results were assessed after seven days. Antimicrobial effect was observed in three of the four tested samples. (Fig. 1).

  • Vaccinium Oxycoccos L
    Plant Guide these fruits in their food economy (Waterman 1920). SMALL CRANBERRY Small cranberries were gathered wild in England and Vaccinium oxycoccos L. Scotland and made into tarts, marmalade, jelly, jam, Plant Symbol = VAOX and added to puddings and pies (Eastwood 1856). Many colonists were already familiar with this fruit Contributed by: USDA NRCS National Plant Data in Great Britain before finding it in North America. Team, Greensboro, NC The small cranberry helped stock the larder of English and American ships, fed trappers in remote regions, and pleased the palates of Meriwether Lewis and William Clark in their explorations across the United States (Lewis and Clark 1965). The Chinook, for example, traded dried cranberries with the English vessel Ruby in 1795 and at Thanksgiving in 1805 Lewis and Clark dined on venison, ducks, geese, and small cranberry sauce from fruit brought by Chinook women (McDonald 1966; Lewis and Clark 1965). Because the small cranberry can grow in association with large cranberry (Vaccinium macrocarpon) in the Great Lakes region, northeastern USA and southeastern Canada (Boniello 1993; Roger Latham pers. comm. 2009) it is possible that the Pilgrims of Plymouth were introduced to both edible Small cranberries growing in a bog on the western Olympic species by the Wampanoag.

  • Anti-Carcinoma Activity of Vaccinium Oxycoccos
    Available online at www.scholarsresearchlibrary.com Scholars Research Library Der Pharmacia Lettre, 2017, 9 (3):74-79 (http://scholarsresearchlibrary.com/archive.html) ISSN 0975-5071 USA CODEN: DPLEB4 Anti-carcinoma activity of Vaccinium oxycoccos Mansoureh Masoudi1, Milad Saiedi2* 1Valiasr Eghlid hospital, Shiraz University of medical sciences, Shiraz, Iran 2student of medicine, international Pardis University of Yazd, Yazd, Iran *Corresponding author: Milad Saiedi, student of medicine, international Pardis University of Yazd, Yazd, Iran _______________________________________________________ ABSTRACT Introduction: Vaccinium oxycoccos or cranberry are evergreen shrubs in the subgenus Oxycoccos of the genus Vaccinium. The aim of this study was to overview anti-carcinoma activity of Vaccinium oxycoccos. Methods: This review article was carried out by searching studies in PubMed, Medline, Web of Science, and IranMedex databases. The initial search strategy identified about 79 references. In this study, 56 studies were accepted for further screening and met all our inclusion criteria [in English, full text, therapeutic effects of Vaccinium oxycoccos and dated mainly from the year 2002 to 2016.The search terms were “Vaccinium oxycoccos”, “therapeutic properties”, “pharmacological effects”. Result: the result of this study showed that Vaccinium oxycoccos possess anti-carcinoma activity against the following cancers: prostate, bladder, lymphoma, ovarian, cervix, breast, lung, and colon. Conclusion: the results from this review are quite promising for the use of Vaccinium oxycoccos as an anti-cancer agent. Vaccinium oxycoccos possess the ability to suppress the proliferation of human breast cancer MCF-7 cells and this suppression is at least partly attributed to both the initiation of apoptosis and the G1 phase arrest. Keywords: Vaccinium oxycoccos, Phytochemicals, Therapeutic effects, Pharmacognosy, Alternative and complementary medicine.

  • Chapter 5: Vegetation of Sphagnum-Dominated Peatlands
    CHAPTER 5: VEGETATION OF SPHAGNUM-DOMINATED PEATLANDS As discussed in the previous chapters, peatland ecosystems have unique chemical, physical, and biological properties that have given rise to equally unique plant communities. As indicated in Chapter 1, extensive literature exists on the classification, description, and ecology of peatland ecosystems in Europe, the northeastern United States, Canada, and the Rocky Mountains. In addition to the references cited in Chapter 1, there is some other relatively recent literature on peatlands (Verhoeven 1992; Heinselman 1963, 1970; Chadde et al., 1998). Except for efforts on the classification and ecology of peatlands in British Columbia by the National Wetlands Working Group (1988), the Burns Bog Ecosystem Review (Hebda et al. 2000), and the preliminary classification of native, low elevation, freshwater vegetation in western Washington (Kunze 1994), scant information exists on peatlands within the more temperate lowland or maritime climates of the Pacific Northwest (Oregon, Washington, and British Columbia). 5.1 Introduction There are a number of classification schemes and many different peatland types, but most use vegetation in addition to hydrology, chemistry and topological characteristics to differentiate among peatlands. The subject of this report are acidic peatlands that support acidophilic (acid-loving) and xerophytic vegetation, such as Sphagnum mosses and ericaceous shrubs. Ecosystems in Washington state appear to represent a mosaic of vegetation communities at various stages of succession and are herein referred to collectively as Sphagnum-dominated peatlands. Although there has been some recognition of the unique ecological and societal values of peatlands in Washington, a statewide classification scheme has not been formally adopted or widely recognized in the scientific community.
