Genetic characterization of clinical and environmental Vibrio parahaemolyticus from the Northeast USA reveals emerging resident and non-indigenous pathogen lineages [PDF]
Gastric infections caused by the environmentally transmitted pathogen, Vibrio parahaemolyticus, have increased over the last two decades, including in many parts of the United States (US).

Vomocytosis: Too Much Booze, Base, or Calcium? [PDF]
Macrophages are well known for their phagocytic activity and their role in innate immune responses. Macrophages eat non-self particles, via a variety of mechanisms, and typically break down internalized cargo into small macromolecules.

The Glutaminase-dependent system confers extreme acid resistance to new species and atypical strains of Brucella [PDF]
Neutralophilic bacteria have developed specific mechanisms to cope with the acid stress encountered in environments such as soil, fermented foods, and host compartments. In Escherichia coli, the glutamate decarboxylase (Gad)-dependent system is extremely

Embryos extract from germinated yellow soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merrill) inhibits promastigotes form of Leishmania amazonensis [PDF]
We investigated the effect of extracts of the germinated seeds of yellow soybean cultivar BRS 258 (Glycine max [L.] Merrill) against Leishmania amazonensis promastigotes. The yellow soybean embryos extract (YSEE) was fractionated on a Sephacryl S-100 gel

Assessment of agrogenic impact on tea plantation soils by analysis of their enzymatic activity
Brown forest acidic soils of the humid subtropical zone of Russia, on which tea is mainly cultivated, are largely exposed to agrogenic effects, which reduce their bio-productivity.

Soil bacteria that precipitate calcium carbonate: mechanism and applications of the process
Bacteria with ureasic activity are microorganisms found in soil that in presence of urea and calcium, they can produce calcium carbonate, a process known as microbiologically induced calcium carbonate precipitation (MICP).
