The role of the host—Neutrophil biology
Abstract Neutrophilic polymorphonuclear leukocytes (neutrophils) are myeloid cells packed with lysosomal granules (hence also called granulocytes) that contain a formidable antimicrobial arsenal. They are terminally differentiated cells that play a critical role in acute and chronic inflammation, as well as in the resolution of inflammation and wound ...

Streptomycin Action and Anaerobiosis [PDF]
SUMMARY: The question was asked whether the insensitivity to dihydrostreptomycin and streptomycin exhibited by facultatively anaerobic organisms growing strictly anaerobically could be due entirely to the lack of an anaerobic mechanism for the uptake of these antibiotics.

Corrosion protection by anaerobiosis
Biofilm-forming bacteria can protect mild (unalloyed) steel from corrosion. Mild steel coupons incubated with Rhodoccocus sp. strain C125 and Pseudomonas putida mt2 in an aerobic phosphate-buffered medium containing benzoate as carbon and energy source, underwent a surface reaction leading to the formation of a corrosion-inhibiting vivianite layer [Fe3(

Involvement of ethylene signalling in a non-climacteric fruit: new elements regarding the regulation of ADH expression in grapevine [PDF]
Although grape berries have been classified as non climacteric fruits, ongoing studies on grape ethylene signalling lead to challenge the role of ethylene in their ripening. One of the significant molecular changes in berries is the up regulation of ADH

The pneumococcal response to oxidative stress includes a role for Rgg [PDF]
Streptococcus pneumoniae resides in the oxygen-rich environment of the upper respiratory tract, and therefore the ability to survive in the presence of oxygen is an important aspect of its in vivo survival. To investigate how S.

How obligatory is anaerobiosis? [PDF]
SummaryHistorically many bacteria have been classified as obligate anaerobes. They have been construed as wholly intolerant of oxygen, a feature that was originally ascribed to their lack of superoxide dismutases and catalases. Clostridial species were regarded as classic examples.

Plant mitochondrial function during anaerobiosis [PDF]
Under hypoxic conditions, plant mitochondria preserve the capacity to oxidize external NADH, NADPH and tricarboxylic acid cycle substrates. Nitrite serves as an alternative electron acceptor at the level of cytochrome oxidase, with possibly complex III and the alternative oxidase also being involved.

Beneficial effects of fermented vegetal beverages on human gastrointestinal microbial ecosystem in a simulator [PDF]
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of four beverage formulations (prebiotic - fructooligosaccharide, probiotic - Lactobacillus casei Lc-01, synbiotic - fructooligosaccharide and L.

A two-stage, two-organism process for biohydrogen from glucose [PDF]
H2 can potentially be produced in a two-stage biological process: the fermentation of glucose by Escherichia coli HD701 and the photofermentation of the residual medium by Rhodobacter sphaeroides O.U. 001. In a typical batch fermentation, E.

Continuous Anaerobiosis for Cultivation of Spirochetes.
SummaryApparatus and procedures have been developed for bacteriological work based on a vacuum-tight glove box with lock, in which an anaerobic working atmosphere has been maintained by evacuation, followed by removal of residual and diffusing oxygen with hydrogen and a catalyst that does not require pre-heating.
