Post‐LECA Origin and Diversification of an Axonemal Outer Arm Dynein Motor
Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Dyneins were present in the last eukaryotic common ancestor (LECA) and play key roles in eukaryotic biology. Axonemal dyneins form the inner and outer arms that power ciliary beating, and it has long been recognized that outer arms in some organisms contain two different heavy chain motors, whereas those from other species contain a third unit

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 14, Issue 6, December 2025.Conventional culture and immunological methods of detecting bacterial water contaminants have some limitations. There are alternative pragmatic methods which are more efficient and faster in the detection of bacteria in water, especially nanosensors. ABSTRACT The complexities of microbial detection and conventional enumeration necessitates the adoption
