Feeding ecology of migrating waders (Charadrii) at sodic-alkaline pans in the Carpathian Basin

Capsule Waders fed on the most abundant invertebrates: visual foragers preferred nektonic bugs, while tactile foragers had more diverse food preferences.     

Oligotrophication of Lake Balaton over a 20-year period and its implications for the relationship between phytoplankton and zooplankton biomass

Hydrobiologia - Lake Balaton, the largest lake in Central Europe, underwent severe eutrophication from the 1960s to the 1990s, due to phosphorus loadings from external anthropogenic sources. The...     

Expression vectors based on the rac fusion promoter

The -35 region of the rrnB P2 promoter and the -10 region of the lacZpo promoter-operator were fused to form the strong and regulatable rac promoter. Vectors were constructed that allow the attachment of protein-coding sequences to the beta-galactosidase alpha-peptide (LacZ alpha) in any reading frame. By introducing a high-copy-number mutation, the synthesis of a LacZ alpha-chloramphenicol acetyltransferase fusion protein reached more than 60% of total cell protein in Escherichia coli.
