Effect of Climate Change on Environmental Factors and Incidence of Pathogenic Bacteria in Ang Sila Coastal Area and Pra-sae Estuary

Asst. Prof. Dr. Karaked Tedsree Faculty of Science, Burapha University This study aimed to determine the effect of climate change on environmental factors and incidence of pathogenic bacteria, namely Vibrio spp., in the Ang Sila Coastal Area and Pra-sae estuary. The results demonstrated that increases in rainfall and water temperature have led to increased amounts… (read more)

Development of High Efficient Photocatalysts for Benzene Degradation

Asst. Prof. Dr. Karaked Tedsree Faculty of Science, Burapha University This research focuses on the development of photocatalytic efficiency of nanotitanium dioxide for degradation of benzene contaminant in water. Titanium dioxide nanoparticles with different sizes were prepared by chemical precipitation method and sol-gel process. Silver-modified titanium dioxide nanoparticles (silver/titaniumdioxide nanoparticle) were prepared by chemical reduction… (read more)

The Effect of Phyllanthus taxodiifolius Beille Extracts on Human Neuroblastoma Cells

Asst. Prof. Dr. Witchuda Saengsawang Faculty of Science, Mahidol University Cytoskeletal proteins, especially microtubules and actin filaments are important structures required for cancer cell proliferation and migration. Molecules or compounds that disrupt their functions could interfere with proliferation and migration of the cancer cells, and therefore serve as great candidates for developing novel compounds for… (read more)

Research and Development of Natural Resource Materials for Targeted Therapy of Cancer

Assist.Prof. Sunhapas Soodvilai Faculty of Science, Mahidol University Cancer is highly prevalent in Thailand whereas chemotherapeutic treatment is at ineffective. In addition, the serious side effects litmit the use; therefore, new molecular targets for treatment of cancer is required to increase the effecicay. Our present data demonstrated the tagets of treatment to improve effective treatment… (read more)

Biodegradation of Endocrine Disrupting Phthalates by Esterase Enzymes

Dr. Suvit Loprasert Chulabhorn Graduate Institute and Chulabhorn Research Institute Phthalate esters are a class of endocrine disrupting compounds that are widely used in various industries, and are suspected carcinogens. The two esterase enzymes named esterase B and G were successfully isolated from soil bacterium Sphingobium sp. SM42. These enzymes are responsible for degradation of… (read more)
