Endosymbiont-free ants: Molecular biological evidence that neither Wolbachia, Cardinium or any other bacterial endosymbionts play a role in thelytokous parthenogenesis in the harvester ant species, Messor barbarus and M. capitatus (Hymenoptera: Formicidae)

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2013
Thelytokous parthenogenesis is a type of sex determination in which females are produced from unfertilized eggs. Genetic and endosymbiont-induced forms of thelytoky have been described in the Hymenoptera. Our study has revealed that Wolbachia, Cardinium,

Facilitating crRNA Design by Integrating DNA Interaction Features of CRISPR‐Cas12a System

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 25, July 3, 2025.
This study introduces a novel approach combining molecular dynamics simulations and neural network modeling to predict the Cas12a trans‐cleavage activity. By integrating sequence and molecular interaction features, prediction accuracy is enhanced, and identify key features affecting Cas12a trans‐cleavage activity.

Endosymbiont-based immunity in Drosophila melanogaster against parasitic nematode infection. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2018
Associations between endosymbiotic bacteria and their hosts represent a complex ecosystem within organisms ranging from humans to protozoa. Drosophila species are known to naturally harbor Wolbachia and Spiroplasma endosymbionts, which play a protective ...

Disruption of salt bridge interactions in the inter‐domain cleft of the tubulin‐like protein FtsZ of Escherichia coli makes cells sensitive to the cell division inhibitor PC190723

open access: yesCytoskeleton, Volume 82, Issue 7, Page 415-431, July 2025.
Abstract FtsZ forms a ring‐like assembly at the site of division in bacteria. It is the first protein involved in the formation of the divisome complex to split the cell into two halves, indicating its importance in bacterial cell division. FtsZ is an attractive target for developing new anti‐microbial drugs to overcome the challenges of antibiotic ...

Mangrove‐Crab Blood Cells Proliferate In Vitro and Display Neuronal Proteins Following Pituitary‐Extract Stimulus

open access: yesDevelopmental Neurobiology, Volume 85, Issue 3, July 2025.
ABSTRACT In this study we propose a cell‐culture protocol to better comprehend the involvement of immune/blood cells (hemocytes) in the adult neurogenesis of crustaceans. We examined whether the hemocytes of the crab Ucides cordatus may develop into neural cells in response to an in vitro stimulus. The experiments involved two steps. First, we selected

Acute Effects of Ammonia Nitrogen or Nitrite Nitrogen Exposure on Micropterus salmoides and the Post‐Exposure Recovery

open access: yesAquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 5, Issue 3, June 2025.
ABSTRACT To provide guidance for the actual cultivation of Micropterus salmoides, the effects of ammonia‐nitrogen (ammonia‐N) or nitrite nitrogen (nitrite‐N) stress on enzymatic activity, tissue structure and gut microbiota were investigated. The experimental groups consisted of Group 1 (control group), Group 2 (ammonia‐N stress group), Group 3 ...
