The effect of a multispecies probiotic on the composition of the faecal microbiota and bowel habits in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients treated with antibiotics [PDF]
Short-term antibiotic treatment profoundly affects the intestinal microbiota, which may lead to sustained changes in microbiota composition. Probiotics may restore such a disturbance.

Phylogenomic data obtained through sequencing ultraconserved elements are used to examine tribal classification in the subfamily Scarabaeinae with the aim of stabilizing classification of 32 unplaced Australasian genera. Phylogenies were generated from a 245,546 base pair alignment comprised of 1092 loci that included terminals representing 160 species

Fingerprinting sequence variation in ribosomal DNA of parasites by DGGE [PDF]
Although there is a tendency for rDNA genes within a species to maintain sequence homogeneity, there can be significant levels of variation among rDNA repeat sequences within populations or individuals of a species as a consequence of mutation mechanisms.

Runter mit der Brille! Mithilfe von Indikatorbasen wird die weit verbreitete Hammett´sche H0 Azidität bestimmt, mit der reine Schwefelsäure bisher charakterisiert wird. Das ist aber so ähnlich, als schaut man durch eine Sonnenbrille: trotz ihrer Nützlichkeit wirkt diese als Filter.

Application of Denaturing Gradient Gel Electrophoresis (DGGE) To Study the Diversity of Marine Picoeukaryotic Assemblages and Comparison of DGGE with Other Molecular Techniques [PDF]
ABSTRACT We used denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) to study the diversity of picoeukaryotes in natural marine assemblages. Two eukaryote-specific primer sets targeting different regions of the 18S rRNA gene were tested. Both primer sets gave a single band when used with algal cultures and complex fingerprints when used with ...

Ontogeny of Diet and Behavior of a Wild, Critically Endangered Lemur (Indri indri)
(A) An infant indri (50 days of age) carried by its mother. (B) Effect of age (in days) on the proportion of feeding sessions in which mothers and offspring consumed the same plant. Shaded areas indicate confidence intervals. The gray area represents 95% confidence interval. ABSTRACT The early developmental period plays a key role in primate behavioral

Incorporating a mucosal environment in a dynamic gut model results in a more representative colonization by lactobacilli [PDF]
To avoid detrimental interactions with intestinal microbes, the human epithelium is covered with a protective mucus layer that traps host defence molecules. Microbial properties such as adhesion to mucus further result in a unique mucosal microbiota with
