Species-specific PCR detection of the fish pathogen, Vibrio anguillarum, using the amiB gene, which encodes N-acetylmuramoyl-l-alanine amidase [PDF]
Vibrio anguillarum is the causative agent of the fish disease vibriosis and is the most intensely studied species of Vibrio. In the present study, specific primers and a PCR assay were designed to detect V. anguillarum. The primers were designed to amplify a 429-bp internal region of the V.

Probiotic Properties and Proteomic Analysis of Pediococcus pentosaceus 1101
Pediococcus pentosaceus 1101 was identified by using 16S rRNA and MALDI-Biotyper. The strain was exposed to conditions that resemble the gastrointestinal tract (GT) to evaluate its probiotic properties.

Molecular characterization of podoviral bacteriophages virulent for Clostridium perfringens and their comparison with members of the Picovirinae. [PDF]
Clostridium perfringens is a Gram-positive, spore-forming anaerobic bacterium responsible for human food-borne disease as well as non-food-borne human, animal and poultry diseases. Because bacteriophages or their gene products could be applied to control

The Negative Regulative Roles of BdPGRPs in the Imd Signaling Pathway of Bactrocera dorsalis
Peptidoglycan recognition proteins (PGRPs) are key regulators in insects’ immune response, functioning as sensors to detect invading pathogens and as scavengers of peptidoglycan (PGN) to reduce immune overreaction. However, the exact function of PGRPs in
