ABSTRACT Variable lymphocyte receptors (VLRs) are antigen receptors derived from the adaptive immune system of jawless vertebrates such as lamprey ( Petromyzon marinus ). First discovered in 2004, VLRs have been the subject of numerous biochemical and structural investigations. Due to their unique antigen binding properties, VLRs have been leveraged as

Methodic Approaches to Testing Bacillus anthracis Susceptibility to Antibacterials
Susceptibility of 50 isolates of Bacillus anthracis to 24 antibiotics was tested by the disk-diffusion method and the method of serial dilutions in solid media.

Bacillus anthracis is a Gram-positive bacillus that under conditions of environmental stress, such as low nutrients, can convert from a vegetative bacillus to a highly durable spore that enables long-term survival. The sporulation process is regulated by

Modelling of spatio-temporal patterns in bacterial colonies [PDF]
A diffusion-reaction model for the growth of bacterial colonies is presented. The often observed cooperative behavior developed by bacteria which increases their motility in adverse growth conditions is here introduced as a nonlinear diffusion term. The presence of this mechanism depends on a response which can present hysteresis.

Abstract An alternative processing method for the production of renewable fuels from rendered animal fats, pretreated using standard processing methods 1–5 or method 7 and used cooking oils, derived from Category 3 animal by‐products, was assessed. The alternative method is based on a fluidised catalytic cracking co‐processing treatment with a preheat ...

The Critical Effect of Hydration on the Resonant Signatures of THz Biospectroscopy [PDF]
Here we present an original study of the effect of hydration on Terahertz absorption signatures in biomolecular (lactose monohydrate and biotin) and bioparticles( Bacillus thuringiensis and Bacillus cereus spores). We observe "read-shift" in center frequency with increasing hydration in all samples, consistent with Lorentzian-oscillator behavior.
