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.

Zein‐Based Adhesives: Sustainable Extraction and Application in Bioadhesive Technologies

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Zein is extracted from corn gluten meal using a simple and scalable process with high yield (~90%). The resulting protein is applied in bioadhesives modified with Ca2+ and Fe3+ ions, exhibiting substrate‐dependent adhesion. The findings demonstrate competitive bonding performance and highlight the role of ionic interactions in tuning adhesion ...

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)

Human Gut Bacteria and Lipidic Nanoparticles: Particle Composition Predicts Structural Transformation and Bacterial Biocompatibility

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Lipidic nanoparticles (LNPs) were incubated with 21 gut bacteria frequently associated with the human microbiome. SAXS revealed that ∼75% of tested species induced structural transformations in monoolein LNPs, whereas phytantriol and phospholipid formulations remained unaffected.

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.

Nanoengineered Binetworks in Multifunctional Anionic Block Polymer Mesoblends for Improved Mechanical Properties

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Mesoblends consist of a nanostructured polymer into which a second polymer is imbibed with a selective solvent. In this work, a solvent‐templatable pentablock terpolymer possessing a sulfonated midblock is modified with a hydrophilic polymer that is photocrosslinked in situ, yielding a hierarchical binetwork.
