Abstract Nowadays due to the emergence of resistant forms of pathogenic bacteria, discovering new antimicrobial substances from marine natural resources is considered very important. This study aims to investigate the antibacterial activity of methanolic extract of brown algae against some Gram negative bacteria. After sampling and transferring the samples to the laboratory, algae samples were washed, dried and pulverized; then, the extraction was conducted using methanol solvent. Methanolic extracts of algae (padina gymnospora) were prepared in four concentrations of 10 to 80 mg/ml and were tested against 4 strains of Gram negative bacteria Vibrio cholerae, Morganella morganii, Proteus mirabilisand Proteus vulgaris using disc diffusion technique and inhibition growth zone measurement. The results revealed that P. vulgaris, with growth inhibition zone diameter of 11.23±0.25 mm in 80 mg/ml concentration, showed the maximum sensitivity to algae extract. This value had a significant difference compared to reference antibiotics of gentamycin and neomycin and all other concentrations (ppadina gymnospora, can be considered a potential resource of antimicrobial compounds aiming to replace chemical medicines.

Abstract Khorasan Razavi province, including important habitats for marbled polecat (Vormela peregusna) in Iran. in this study, we used maximum entropy method (Maxent) for habitat modeling in the province. This method is an effective approach for habitat modelling with presence points. In this study, 25 points were used and 89 percent accuracy was achieved. Based on the results, the northern and northwestern regions of the province are more suitable for the species. According to the study, 6% of the whole province is suitable for the species. The results also showed that the suitable habitats areas overlap with roads and in addition to roads with human settlements such as towns and villages also showed a positive relation and in according to the responses curves, with increasing of distance of the areas, decreasing habitat suitability. And also, forest areas and rivers have a positive effect on habitat suitability. According most environmental degradation is about habitats, so we must try to survey and management these areas appropriately.

Abstract In the Persian Gulf waters, the sciaenid species, Otolithes ruber, plays an important role in the commercial fishery and to this reason, the resources are under catch pressure. Stock assessment and population dynamics parameters of this species were studied in Bushehr and Khozestan waters from April 2012 to March 2013. In the present study, 4203 of specimens obtained from gillnet landing places and length frequency data (fork length) were recorded. Length frequency ranging from 11 to 50 cm. The parameters of the von Bertalanffy growth equation (males and females combined) for asymptotic length (L∞) was 52.5 cm and instantaneous growth coefficient (K) was 1.1 year−1. The instantaneous rates of total mortality (Z), fishing mortality (F) and natural mortality (M) were 3.42, 1.85 and 1.57 per year, respectively. Estimated parameters of precautionary target (Fopt) and limit (Flimit) biological reference points were 0.79 and 1.04 respectively. The values of two parameters Fopt and Flimit were lower than fishing mortality (F) that showed this species is over exploited in the Bushehr and Khozestan waters by gillnet fishery.

Abstract Amyloids are created from various proteins in denaturant conditions. Highly active surface, makes these materials suitable for enzyme immobilization. The aim of this research was to study the production of amyloid fibrils and investigate the possibility of using them as a matrix for enzyme immobilization. Response surface methodology (RSM) was used to generate the maximum amyloid content. The results of the Congored spectrometry and circular dichroism (CD) were analyzed by Design Expert 7 software (Trial version) and transmission electron microscopy was used to confirm the presence of amyloid fibrils. The immobilization was done by creating glutaraldehyde mediated crosslink of enzyme on the amyloid fibrils and kinetic factors including activity, specific activity, optimal temperature and pH and thermal stability were compared with the free enzyme. The highest amyloid content was obtained after 72.6 hours agitation of bovine serum albumin at 4.35 mg.ml-1 in mixed citrate–phosphate buffer pH=4.49 at 80 ºC and immobilized lipase was improved relative to free lipase in the case of activity, specific activity, Km and Vmax, optimal temperature and pH and thermal stability at 40 ºC. Amyloid fibrils as a rich material of chemical groups can be suitable for stabilization. This protein matrix can be a good inVivo candidate as a bio–compatible scaffold for enzyme immobilization. Amyloids with a diameter less than 100 nanometers, as new nano–materials, not only increase the stability of lipase but also enhance other kinetic properties as a new nano–matrix.

Abstract Ticks, as usual groups of ecto-parasites, have abundant importance in medicine due to their ability in conservation and transmission of important pathogens like zoonotic pathogens. They choose different species as host including; mammals, reptiles and birds. Hedgehog, a mammal species which is related to humans and animals, can be infested by ticks. Aim of current study is identification and description of ticks fauna in native hedgehogs located in central parts of Iran. Six hedgehogs were collected from rural areas in Najafabad (Isfahan province) and 10 ticks were collected from different part of their bodies in examination. Ticks were temporary preserved in solution contained 95% Etanol 70° plus 5% glycerin and then were cleared via KOH, mounted and observed by light microscope and their identifications were confirmed via wallker tick systematic keys. Ticks were identified as Rhipicephalus appendiculatus, Rhipicephalusturanicus and Haemaphysalis concinna. This study reports the hedgehog's infestation by Haemaphysalis concinna for the first time in Iran. Recognition of new hosts for ticks and dimension of their dispersion are first steps in order to solve their problems. Presence of ticks on new hosts and their resistance against pesticides are also important subjects that must be considered more than past.

Abstract In order to evaluate the biometry of chub (Squalius namak, Khaefi et al., 2016) populations in Khaznagh, Ghinercheh, Gharechae, Jajrud and Ghomrud rivers of Lake Namak Basin, 129 specimens were captured by a seine nets in 2010-2011. After anesthetizing in 1% clove oil solution and fixing in 10% neutralized formalin, specimens were transferred to the laboratory for further studies. Some 14 meristic characters were counted under a stereomicroscope. To extract data for morphometric characteristics, 19 distances were measured on images in ImageJ software. To reduce the effects of allometric growth, morphometric data were standardized. To analyze the differences among the populations, Kolmogorov-Smirnov, Kruskal-Wallis, ANOVA, Duncan test, PCA, CVA and Cluster analyses were used. The morphometric characteristics separated Gharachai population from Khaznagh and Qomrud in PCA and CVA Analyses. But meristics were overlapping with each other in the studied populations, and there was no significant differences among them. The result showed that some morphometric characteristics are well able to distinguish some populations of S. namak.

In vitro assessment of final oocyte maturation index (GVBD) in Persian Sturgeon and broodstock selectionFinal oocyte maturation index (GVBD) inin vitro for selection of Persian sturgeon Broodstock, Acipenserpersicus, was studied on 10 females captured from the Caspian Sea during reproduction season. About 150 oocytes from every broodstock, taken by hollow probe, were incubated in incubation media of RM2 containing 10 µg/l of progesterone for induction ofthe final oocyte maturation andassessment of GVBDindex. Results indicated that significant differences in GVBD of thein vitro and in vivo were observed (P<0.01). However, Broodstockes with rate of GVBD inin vitro higher than %50 had a significantly better ovulation, fertilization and incubation rates (P<0.05), from those with a GVBD lower than %50. It could be concluded that use from method of assessment of GVBD index under in vitro circumstance was preferable to nucleus polarization index for selection of suitable broodstock.Keywords:Acipenserpersicus, in vitro, GVBD,final oocyte maturation,Broodstock Selection
