Insights Into a Chlamydia pneumoniae-Specific Gene Cluster of Membrane Binding Proteins

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2020
Chlamydia pneumoniae is an obligate intracellular pathogen that causes diseases of the upper and lower respiratory tract and is linked to a number of severe and chronic conditions. Here, we describe a large, C.

Interspecies Variations in Clinical Envenoming Effects of Viper Snakes Evolutionized in a Common Habitat: A Comparative Study on Echis carinatus sochureki and Macrovipera lebetina obtusa Victims in Iran [PDF]

Asia Pacific Journal of Medical Toxicology, 2019
Background: Despite sharing common evolutionary features, Viperidae species including Echis carinatus and Macrovipera lebetina possess venoms with different proportions of toxic agents, thereby causing clinical effects with potentially variable severity.

Interspecies-Extrapolated Biotic Ligand Model to Predict Arsenate Toxicity to Terrestrial Plants with Consideration of Cell Membrane Surface Electrical Potential

Toxics, 2022
Arsenic is a metalloid that is highly toxic to living organisms in the environment. In this study, toxicity caused by inorganic arsenate (As(V)) to terrestrial plants, such as barley Hordeum vulgare and wheat Triticum aestivum, was predicted using the ...

Competition of alliances in a cyclically dominant eight-species population [PDF]

Chaos, Solitons and Fractals 166 (2023) 113004, 2023
In a diverse population, where many species are present, competitors can fight for surviving at individual and collective levels. In particular, species, which would beat each other individually, may form a specific alliance that ensures them stable coexistence against the invasion of an external species. Our principal goal is to identify those general

Self-organizing patterns maintained by competing associations in a six-species predator-prey model [PDF]

Phys. Rev. E 77 (2008) 041919, 2008
Formation and competition of associations are studied in a six-species ecological model where each species has two predators and two prey. Each site of a square lattice is occupied by an individual belonging to one of the six species. The evolution of the spatial distribution of species is governed by iterated invasions between the neighboring predator-

Reentrant condensation transition in a two species driven diffusive system [PDF]

Physica A 477, 1-8 (2017), 2016
We study an interacting box-particle system on a one-dimensional periodic ring involving two species of particles $A$ and $B$. In this model, from a randomly chosen site, a particle of species $A$ can hop to its right neighbor with a rate that depends on the number of particles of the species $B$ at that site. On the other hand, particles of species $B$
