Microbiology Spectrum, 2022 Traditional cysticidal assays for Acanthamoeba species revolve around treating cysts with compounds and manually observing the culture for evidence of excystation. This method is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and low throughput. We adapted and trained

Amoeba-Resisting Bacteria and Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2003 To evaluate the role of amoeba-associated bacteria as agents of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP), we tested the water from an intensive care unit (ICU) every week for 6 months for such bacteria isolates; serum samples and bronchoalveolar lavage ...

Are physiological oscillations physiological?
The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView., 2023 Abstract figure legend Mechanisms and functions of physiological oscillations. Abstract Despite widespread and striking examples of physiological oscillations, their functional role is often unclear. Even glycolysis, the paradigm example of oscillatory biochemistry, has seen questions about its oscillatory function.

Image Analysis and Stereology, 2015 Filters of the Spatial-Variant amoeba morphology can preserve edges better, but with too much noise being left. For better denoising, this paper presents a new method to generate structuring elements for Spatially-Variant amoeba morphology.

International Journal of Modern Physics A, 2007 We study a statistical model of random plane partitions. The statistical model has interpretations as five-dimensional [Formula: see text] supersymmetric SU (N) Yang–Mills on ℝ4× S1and as Kähler gravity on local SU (N) geometry. At the thermodynamic limit a typical plane partition called the limit shape dominates in the statistical model.

Neurofibromin controls macropinocytosis and phagocytosis in Dictyostelium
eLife, 2015 Cells use phagocytosis and macropinocytosis to internalise bulk material, which in phagotrophic organisms supplies the nutrients necessary for growth. Wildtype Dictyostelium amoebae feed on bacteria, but for decades laboratory work has relied on axenic ...

mBio, 2018 Balamuthia mandrillaris is a pathogenic free-living amoeba that causes a rare but almost always fatal infection of the central nervous system called granulomatous amoebic encephalitis (GAE). Two distinct forms of B.

Microbiology Spectrum, 2022 The engulfment of Legionella pneumophila by free-living amoebae (FLA) in engineered water systems (EWS) enhances L. pneumophila persistence and provides a vehicle for rapid replication and increased public health risk.

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Northern peatlands, which are highly heterogeneous ecosystems, are a globally important carbon (C) store. Understanding the drivers and predicting the future trajectory of the peatland C store requires upscaling from cores and sites to regions and ...
