Metabolic and molecular events occurring during chromoplast biogenesis [PDF]
Chromoplasts are nonphotosynthetic plastids that accumulate carotenoids. They derive from other plastid forms, mostly chloroplasts. The biochemical events responsible for the interconversion of one plastid form into another are poorly documented. However,

Integrative molecular and physiological insights into the phytotoxic impact of liquid crystal monomer exposure and the protective strategy in plants. [PDF]
Summary Liquid crystal monomers (LCMs), the integral components in the manufacture of digital displays, have engendered environmental concerns due to extensive utilization and intensive emission. Despite their prevalence and ecotoxicity, the LCM impacts on plant growth and agricultural yield remain inadequately understood.

Phylogenetic Position of Aquificales Based on the Whole Genome Sequences of Six Aquificales Species [PDF]
Species belonging to the order Aquificales are believed to be an early branching lineage within the Bacteria. However, the branching order of this group in single‐gene phylogenetic trees is highly variable; for example, it has also been proposed that the Aquificales should be grouped with ε‐proteobacteria.

Cloning, expression and characterization of UDP-N-acetylglucosamine enolpyruvyl transferase (MurA) from Wolbachia endosymbiont of human lymphatic filarial parasite Brugia malayi. [PDF]
Wolbachia, an endosymbiont of filarial nematode, is considered a promising target for treatment of lymphatic filariasis. Although functional characterization of the Wolbachia peptidoglycan assembly has not been fully explored, the Wolbachia genome ...

Characteristics of the tomato chromoplast revealed by proteomic analysis [PDF]
Chromoplasts are non-photosynthetic specialized plastids that are important in ripening tomato fruit (Solanum lycopersicum) since, among other functions, they are the site of accumulation of coloured compounds.

This paper describes the development of a safe bacterial strain as a microbial cell factory for commercial production of alginate through a systemic approach to remove pathogenicity genes from the chromosome of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Summary Alginate is an important polysaccharide that is commonly used as a gelling agent in foods, cosmetics and ...
