Zeytin ağacı ( Olea europea , L.) Dünyanın bilinen en eski meyve ağaçlarındandır. Akdeniz uygarlığının sembolü olan zeytin ağacı, tarih boyunca bu bölgede kurulan tüm uygarlıkların da temelini oluşturmuştur. Besin değeri oldukça yüksek olan zeytin, bu özelliğiyle insan sağlığına…
The existence of root exudates has been known for a long time. Their role and function in plant nutrition and soil chemistry have only recently begun to be understood. Studies have demonstrated that the primary constituents of the root exudates are low molecular weight organic a…
The presented thesis investigates the transfer of drug molecules across interfaces that mimic biological membrane barriers. The permeability of drug molecules across biological membrane mimics has been investigated in a novel artificial membrane permeation assay configuration us…
Over recent years the delivery of nanosized drug particles has shown potential in improving bioavailability. Drug nanosizing is achieved by 'top-down' and by 'bottom-up' approaches. Owing to limitations associated with the top-down techniques, such as high energy input, electros…
The aim of this study was to develop a suitable monitoring protocol for mediated amperometric whole-cell biosensors for in situ assessment of heavy metals in soil. E. coli 8277, Pseudomonas 9773, Pseudomonas 9046 and Pseudomonas 8917 were screened as biosensor catalysts to selec…
Isoflavones are found almost exclusively in soybeans and soy products. They have been extensively studied for improving health. Better understanding isoflavones bioavailability is also essential compared to their metabolism. Two aspects of isoflavone bioavailability were investi…
