Analytic varieties with finite volume amoebas are algebraic [PDF]
, 2011 In this paper, we study the amoeba volume of a given $k-$dimensional generic analytic variety $V$ of the complex algebraic torus $(\C^*)^n$. When $n\geq 2k$, we show that $V$ is algebraic if and only if the volume of its amoeba is finite. In this precise

The dimension of an amoeba [PDF]
, 2019 Answering a question by Nisse and Sottile, we derive a formula for the dimension of the amoeba of an irreducible algebraic variety.Comment: 8 pages, several small improvements, final ...

Dimer models from mirror symmetry and quivering amoebae [PDF]
, 2008 Dimer models are 2-dimensional combinatorial systems that have been shown to encode the gauge groups, matter content and tree-level superpotential of the world-volume quiver gauge theories obtained by placing D3-branes at the tip of a singular toric ...

Environmental stress promotes the persistence of facultative bacterial symbionts in amoebae
Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Amoebae are one major group of protists that are widely found in natural and engineered environments. They are a significant threat to human health not only because many of them are pathogenic but also due to their unique role as an environmental shelter

The large GTPase atlastin controls ER remodeling around a pathogen vacuole
Communicative & Integrative Biology, 2018 The ubiquitous environmental bacterium Legionella pneumophila is the causative agent of Legionnaires' pneumonia and replicates in free-living protozoa and mammalian macrophages in a specific compartment, the Legionella-containing vacuole (LCV).

Bordetella bronchiseptica exploits the complex life cycle of Dictyostelium discoideum as an amplifying transmission vector. [PDF]
PLoS Biology, 2017 Multiple lines of evidence suggest that Bordetella species have a significant life stage outside of the mammalian respiratory tract that has yet to be defined.

Annals of Mathematics, 2006 We study random surfaces which arise as height functions of random perfect matchings (a.k.a. dimer configurations) on an weighted, bipartite, doubly periodic graph G embedded in the plane. We derive explicit formulas for the surface tension and local Gibbs measure probabilities of these models. The answers involve a certain plane algebraic curve, which

Evolutionary Dynamics of Giant Viruses and their Virophages [PDF]
, 2013 Giant viruses contain large genomes, encode many proteins atypical for viruses, replicate in large viral factories, and tend to infect protists. The giant virus replication factories can in turn be infected by so called virophages, which are smaller ...

In situ molecular organization and heterogeneity of the Legionella Dot/Icm T4SS
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.We present a nearly complete in situ model of the Legionella Dot/Icm type IV secretion system, revealing its central secretion channel and identifying new components. Using cryo‐electron tomography with AI‐based modeling, our work highlights the structure, variability, and mechanism of this complex nanomachine, advancing understanding of bacterial ...
