Lobomicosis

The ninth Colombian case of Lobomycosis is presented, along with a review of the Colombian literature. The clinical, histopathological, and mycological aspects are summarized emphasizing the peculiar birefringent appearance of Lobomyces when examined under polarized light.     

Hyperosmosis enhances radiation and hydroxyurea resistance of Schizosaccharomyces pombe checkpoint mutants through the spindle checkpoint and delayed cytokinesis

The DNA damage and stress response pathways interact to regulate cellular responses to genotoxins and environmental stresses. How these pathways interact in Schizosaccharomyces pombe is not well understood. We demonstrate that osmotic stress suppresses the DNA damage sensitivity of checkpoint mutants, and that this occurs through three distinct cell cycle delays. A delay in G2/M is dependent on Srk1. Progression through mitosis is halted by the Mad2‐dependent spindle checkpoint. Finally, cytokinesis is impaired by modulating Cdc25 expression. These three delays, imposed by osmotic stress, together compensate for the loss of checkpoint signalling.     

野大豆(Glycine soja)叶绿体的光谱及其激子能量转移

野大豆叶绿体在低温(77K)时出现三条荧光发射谱带,它们来源于不同的色素蛋白复合体。 在纳秒脉冲激光激发下,捕光天线色素的相对荧光量子产额,随激光强度的增加有明显下降现象。用激子理论和动力学方程讨论和计算了激子扩散参量。指出激子转移是随机的,非相干的。
