Mutation profile of BBS genes in patients with Bardet–Biedl syndrome: an Italian study
Background Bardet–Biedl syndrome (BBS) is a rare inherited multisystemic disorder with autosomal recessive or complex digenic triallelic inheritance. There is currently no treatment for BBS, but some morbidities can be managed.

Selection, phenotyping and identification of acid and hydrogen peroxide producing bacteria from vaginal samples of Canadian and East African women. [PDF]
The common but poorly understood condition known as bacterial vaginosis (BV) increases vulnerability to HIV infection and is associated with the absence of H(2)O(2)-producing Lactobacillus. Vaginal lactic acid bacteria (LAB) produce anti-HIV factors such

Abstract Shade stress affects soybean yield in intercropping, but the molecular basis of cultivar‐specific tolerance is unclear. We analyzed shade‐tolerant (Guru) and sensitive (Heinong 53) soybeans under 30% and 70% shade using transcriptomic, physiological, and biochemical methods.

Microcystin-Bound Protein Patterns in Different Cultures of Microcystis aeruginosa and Field Samples
Micocystin (MC) exists in Microcystis cells in two different forms, free and protein-bound. We examined the dynamic change in extracellular free MCs, intracellular free MCs and protein-bound MCs in both batch cultures and semi-continuous cultures, using ...

A Study of the Vaginal Microbiome in Healthy Canadian Women Utilizing cpn60-Based Molecular Profiling Reveals Distinct Gardnerella Subgroup Community State Types. [PDF]
The vaginal microbiota is important in women's reproductive and overall health. However, the relationships between the structure, function and dynamics of this complex microbial community and health outcomes remain elusive.

Formation and Function of the Rbl2p-beta-Tubulin Complex [PDF]
The yeast protein Rbl2p suppresses the deleterious effects of excess beta-tubulin as efficiently as does alpha-tubulin. Both in vivo and in vitro, Rbl2p forms a complex with beta-tubulin that does not contain alpha-tubulin, thus defining a second pool of

Summary Fumonisin B1 (FB1) is a mycotoxin that disrupts ceramide biosynthesis and kills plants. Prior activation with bacterial microbe‐associated molecular patterns (MAMPs), such as components of bacterial flagella, effectively suppresses FB1‐induced cell death.

A Study of the Infant Nasal Microbiome Development over the First Year of Life and in Relation to Their Primary Adult Caregivers Using cpn60 Universal Target (UT) as a Phylogenetic Marker. [PDF]
Whereas the infant gut microbiome is the subject of intense study, relatively little is known regarding the nares microbiome in newborns and during early life.

An IgG1 monoclonal antibody (mAb 54G8) which binds to both Bordetella pertussis chaperonin-60 (cpn60) and Escherichia coli cpn60 (GroEL) was produced. mAb 54G8 as well as Fab fragments prepared from this antibody were found to abolish the ability of chaperonin-10 (cpn10, GroES) to inhibit the ATPase activity of both B. pertussis cpn60 and E. coli cpn60.
