Avidin is evolutionarily conserved in fish but dispensable for development and resistance against Streptococcus agalactiae in zebrafish

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
The presence of biotin‐binding avidin proteins in fish and their biological significance are poorly characterized. We cataloged fish avidins and demonstrate that they are widely present and evolutionarily conserved. We created avd knockout zebrafish and show that zebavidin is dispensable for development and that resistance of avd knockout embryos in ...

Widespread movement of invasive cattle fever ticks (Rhipicephalus microplus) in southern Texas leads to shared local infestations on cattle and deer

Parasites & Vectors, 2014
Background Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus is a highly-invasive tick that transmits the cattle parasites (Babesia bovis and B. bigemina) that cause cattle fever. R.

Membrane depolarization-triggered responsive diversification leads to antibiotic tolerance

Microbial Cell, 2015
Bacterial populations are known to harbor a small fraction of so-called persister cells that have the remarkable ability to survive treatment with very high doses of antibiotics.

GENETIC EFFECT OF MAGNETIC FIELD ON GROWTH AND PROTEIN CONTENTS OF MAIZE, BEAN AND Bacillus sp IN VITRO. [PDF]

Journal of Agricultural Chemistry and Biotechnology, 2009
Physical mutagenesis as radiation, electrical field, magnetic field...etc., were inspired to enhance or modify their biological behavior. This work was carried out to detect the change in some properties and chemical constituents of maize (variety S.C.10)

Developmental and Epileptic Encephalopathy due to Biallelic Pathogenic Variants in PIGM

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective PIGM encodes a critical enzyme in the glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)‐anchor biosynthesis pathway. While promoter‐region mutations in PIGM have been associated with a relatively mild phenotype characterized by portal vein thrombosis and absence seizures, recent evidence suggests that coding‐region mutations result in a more severe

Salmonella biofilm formation diminishes bacterial proliferation in the C. elegans intestine

Biofilm
Non-typhoidal Salmonella serovars are a significant global cause of foodborne infections, owing their transmission success to the formation of biofilms.

The bacterial cell cycle checkpoint protein Obg and its role in programmed cell death

Microbial Cell, 2016
The phenomenon of programmed cell death (PCD), in which cells initiate their own demise, is not restricted to multicellular organisms. Unicellular organisms, both eukaryotes and prokaryotes, also possess pathways that mediate PCD.

D-XYLOSE FERMENTATION TO ETHANOL BY HYBRIDS OBTAINED THROUGH PROTOPLAST FUSION, BETWEEN Saccharomyces cerevisiae AND Pichia stipitis [PDF]

Journal of Plant Production, 2001
Two Saccharomyces cerevisiae auxotrophic mutants (GT160-34B and XJ133-1B) were fused with two Pichia stiptis auxotrophic mutants, spontaneous mutant M1 and M2 which resulted from a wild type strain (Y-7124) by UV treatment.

The Gut–Heart Axis in Systemic Sclerosis: Evidence From a Large Prospective Early Disease Cohort

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Cardiac involvement significantly impacts prognosis in systemic sclerosis (SSc), highlighting the need for early risk stratification. Gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms are common and often manifest early. Emerging data suggest a link between GI and cardiac manifestations, possibly through shared mechanisms like dysautonomia.
