Response of Fecal Bacteria and Fungi to Tannin‐Rich Diets in Sika Deer (Cervus nippon): Evidence from Both Feeding Experiments and Field Investigations

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Feeding with tannin‐rich diets altered the fecal microbial composition and increased the relative abundance of tannin‐degrading microbes. We hypothesize that fecal bacteria and fungi may play important roles in helping herbivores adapt to tannin‐rich diets but respond to different tannin concentrations varies.

Next Generation Sequencing [FEED METAGENOMICS] and virulent genes detection of Aspergillus Niger from chicken blood in the Federal Capital Territory, Nigeria

The Microbe
Aspergillus niger is pathogenic and causes aspergillosis, which is a fungal infection caused by spores of indoor and outdoor Aspergillus mold species. Due to the ubiquitous nature of Aspergillus niger, its spores are commonly inhaled by humans from the ...

PECTIC GLYCOSIDASES OF ASPERGILLUS NIGER

The Journal of General and Applied Microbiology, 1954
Separation of GPG free from DPG in the manner of the adsorption of the latter on pulpified filter paper (Tab. 1), described in the previous report, is successfully achieved by fractional adsorption (Tab. 2). There is little difference between the properties of GPG thus obtained and of DPG. The optimum pH for the activity to liberate the reducing groups

The Structure of Carboxyl Methyltransferase Provides Insights Into the Substrate Specificity and Divergent Evolution of Iridoid

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Iridoids constitute a prominent class of plant‐specialised metabolites, with carbocyclic iridoids (e.g., geniposide) and secoiridoids (e.g., loganin) diverging early in their biosynthetic pathways. This divergence is marked by substrate‐specific carboxyl methyltransferases—GjGAMT and CrLAMT—that catalyse the decisive methylation step in ...

Kinetochore size correlates with chromosome size in Star of Bethlehem (Ornithogalum kochii Parl., Asparagaceae)

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Cytogenetic quantification of KNL1‐labelled kinetochores in Ornithogalum kochii reveals a significant positive scaling relationship between chromosome size and kinetochore size, demonstrating that chromosome–kinetochore scaling operates even across moderate intra‐karyotype size variation.
