Evaluating the effect of γ‐oryzanol on MASLD pathology using a medaka fish model

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
This study explores a liver disease called MASLD, which is increasing worldwide and can lead to serious damage. Researchers used medaka fish instead of rodents to test a food compound, γ‐oryzanol. Fish fed this compound had less liver fat and healthier gut bacteria.

Trichoderma species from China

浙江大学学报. 农业与生命科学版, 2004
Seventeen species of Trichoderma, isolated from soil or tree bark from China are identified based on morphological and physiological characters, and from their phylogenetic position inferred from parsimony analyses of nucleotide sequences of the internal

What is the phylogenetic position of Cryptosporidium? [PDF]

International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology, 2000
The phylogenetic position of Cryptosporidium is elusive. Although previous studies based solely upon small-subunit (SSU) rRNA sequences suggested that the genus was an early emerging lineage among the Apicomplexa, bootstrap support for this placement was low.

Acoel flatworms are not Platyhelminthes: evidence from phylogenomics [PDF]

, 2007
Acoel flatworms are small marine worms traditionally considered to belong to the phylum Platyhelminthes. However, molecular phylogenetic analyses suggest that acoels are not members of Platyhelminthes, but are rather extant members of the earliest ...

Avidin is evolutionarily conserved in fish but dispensable for development and resistance against Streptococcus agalactiae in zebrafish

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
The presence of biotin‐binding avidin proteins in fish and their biological significance are poorly characterized. We cataloged fish avidins and demonstrate that they are widely present and evolutionarily conserved. We created avd knockout zebrafish and show that zebavidin is dispensable for development and that resistance of avd knockout embryos in ...

Phylogenetic position of Pseudohypocrea (Hypocreales)

Mycoscience, 2017
Abstract Based on morphological characteristics, a hypocrea-like collection from Hunan Province was found to be identical with Pseudohypocrea hongkongensis, which was originally reported only from Hong Kong, China. A living culture of the fungus was obtained from fresh ascomata, and its asexual morph is described for the first time.

Structural and biochemical insights into the thermostable esterase Ta0887 from Thermoplasma acidophilum

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
In this study, a novel esterase from the thermoacidophilic archaeon Thermoplasma acidophilum was biochemically and structurally characterized. Our results demonstrate that Ta0887 is a highly thermostable esterase that preferentially hydrolyzes p‐nitrophenyl hexanoate and possesses an α‐helical cap domain that likely contributes to its substrate ...

The complete mitochondrial genome of Electrona carlsbergi (Myctophiformes, Myctophidae) with phylogenetic consideration

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2018
The complete mitochondrial genome of Electrona carlsbergi was obtained, which was 18,282 bp in size and including 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNAs, 23 transfer RNAs and 1 control region. The overall nucleotide composition is 27.92% for A, 24.66%

Predicting functional gene links from phylogenetic-statistical analyses of whole genomes [PDF]

, 2005
An important element of the developing field of proteomics is to understand protein-protein interactions and other functional links amongst genes. Across-species correlation methods for detecting functional links work on the premise that functionally ...

A minimal cellulosome‐like system in Cellulosilyticum lentocellum

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Cellulose‐degrading bacteria typically use cellulosomes, large multi‐enzyme complexes on a scaffold protein. In Cellulosilyticum lentocellum, we characterise a far smaller arrangement, a single scaffold bound to one cellulase through a single cohesin‐dockerin interaction.
