Immunization with a Recombinant, Pseudomonas fluorescens-Expressed, Mutant Form of Bacillus anthracis-Derived Protective Antigen Protects Rabbits from Anthrax Infection. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Protective antigen (PA), one of the components of the anthrax toxin, is the major component of human anthrax vaccine (Biothrax). Human anthrax vaccines approved in the United States and Europe consist of an alum-adsorbed or precipitated (respectively ...

Binary Fingerprints at Fluctuation-Enhanced Sensing [PDF]
Sensors 10(1) (2010) 361-373; www.mdpi.com/1424-8220/10/1/361, 2009 We developed a simple way to generate binary patterns based on spectral slopes in different frequency ranges at fluctuation-enhanced sensing. Such patterns can be considered as binary "fingerprints" of odors. The method has experimentally been demonstrated with a commercial semiconducting metal oxide (Taguchi) sensor exposed to bacterial odors ...

Progress in Aptamer Research and Future Applications
ChemistryOpen, EarlyView.This paper mainly describes the screening method of aptamer, the screening difficulties and improvement methods of small molecule aptamer, and the application and treatment of aptamer. It explores the latest progress and application of aptamers, and summarises them, thus indicating some problems that still exist in this field.

A century of assessment: A systematic review of biothreat risk assessments
Risk Analysis, EarlyView.Abstract Throughout the past century, assessments of the risks and benefits posed by high‐consequence biological agents have guided US decision‐making on weapons research, countermeasure development, and security policy. However, the dispersed nature of these biothreat risk assessments has presented various difficulties, such as duplicative effort ...

Fluid flow enhances the effectiveness of toxin export by aquatic microorganisms: a first-passage perspective on microvilli and the concentration boundary layer [PDF]
, 2014 A central challenge for organisms during development is determining a means to efficiently export toxic molecules from inside the developing embryo. For aquatic microorganisms, the strategies employed should be robust with respect to the variable ocean environment and limit the chances that exported toxins are reabsorbed.

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 11, Issue 4, July 2025.Evaluating feed utilization and growth of Washera sheep supplemented Chamaecytisus palmensis leaves and wheat bran mixture to a basal diet of Avena sativa straw. After a 3‐month feeding experiment, sheep in T4 showed the highest body weight gain, which in turn resulted in the highest net return.

Coexistence of competing metabolic pathways in well-mixed populations [PDF]
Phys. Rev. E 93, 052401 (2016), 2016 Understanding why strains with different metabolic pathways that compete for a single limiting resource coexist is a challenging issue within a theoretical perspective. Previous investigations rely on mechanisms such as group or spatial structuring to achieve a stable coexistence between competing metabolic strategies.
