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.

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.

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)

Constructing the Microbial Association Network from Large-Scale Time Series Data Using Granger Causality

, 2019
The increasing availability of large-scale time series data allows the inference of microbial community dynamics by association network analysis. However, correlation-based association network analyses are noninformative of causal, mediating and time ...

Tumour–host interactions in Drosophila: mechanisms in the tumour micro‐ and macroenvironment

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This review examines how tumour–host crosstalk takes place at multiple levels of biological organisation, from local cell competition and immune crosstalk to organism‐wide metabolic and physiological collapse. Here, we integrate findings from Drosophila melanogaster studies that reveal conserved mechanisms through which tumours hijack host systems to ...

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.

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.

Effects of Continuous Sugar Beet Cropping on Rhizospheric Microbial Communities

, 2019
The continuous cropping of sugar beet can result in soil degradation and a decrease in the sugar beet yield and quality. However, the role of continuous sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L. var. saccharifera) cropping in shaping the structure and function of the

Gut microbiota alterations in patients with non‐small‐cell lung cancer undergoing chemoradiotherapy

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
We investigated the impact of concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CRT) on the gut microbiota in patients with locally advanced non‐small‐cell lung cancer. Overall gut microbiota composition remained largely stable throughout CRT while antibiotic exposure may influence microbial diversity.

CRISPR-FRT targets shared sites in a knock-out collection for off-the-shelf genome editing

Nature Communications, 2018
Genome editing requires precise targeting of loci with specific gRNAs. Here the authors introduce CRISPR-FRT, which targets flippase recognition sites, common in bacterial genetic collections, for fast off-the-shelf genome engineering.
