Fecal Material of Captive Wild Animals as Source of CAZymes With Application Potential. [PDF]

Chembiochem
With the goal to identify a novel resource of enzymes, we tested for the potential of fecal metagenomes of captive wild animals to provide CAZymes. Our data show that CAZymes profiles differed between animals with varying gut physiology and diet, and that metagenomes of captive wild animals can be considered source of diverse CAZymes including rare and

Cerebellar Abiotrophy in an Alpaca (Lama pacos) [PDF]

Veterinary Pathology, 2009
Cerebellar abiotrophy, a premature degeneration of cerebellar neurons, has been described in most domestic animals. Affected animals typically present with progressive neurologic signs after a variable period of postnatal normalcy. This report describes the clinical, histopathologic, and immunohistochemical (IHC) findings of cerebellar abiotrophy in ...

A close neuroanatomical relationship between the enkephalinergic (methionine-enkephalin) and tachykininergic (substance P) systems in the alpaca diencephalon

Folia Histochemica et Cytobiologica, 2020
INTRODUCTION: In the alpaca diencephalon, the distribution of immunoreactive cell bodies and fibers containing methionine-enkephalin (MET) or substance P (SP) has been studied. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The immunohistochemical study was performed by standard
