Background
The pathogenic fungus Paracoccidioides brasiliensis is the agent of paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM). This is a pulmonary mycosis acquired by inhalation of fungal airborne propagules that can disseminate to several organs and tissues leading to a severe form of the disease. Adhesion and invasion to host cells are essential steps involved in the internalization and dissemination of pathogens. Inside the host, P. brasiliensis may use the glyoxylate cycle for intracellular survival. 相似文献2.
Background
DUX4 is causally involved in the molecular pathogenesis of the neuromuscular disorder facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD). It has previously been proposed to have arisen by retrotransposition of DUXC, one of four known intron-containing DUX genes. Here, we investigate the evolutionary history of this multi-member double-homeobox gene family in eutherian mammals. 相似文献3.

Background
The Zaprionus genus shares evolutionary features with the melanogaster subgroup, such as space and time of origin. Although little information about the transposable element content in the Zaprionus genus had been accumulated, some of their elements appear to be more closely related with those of the melanogaster subgroup, indicating that these two groups of species were involved in horizontal transfer events during their evolution. Among these elements, the Gypsy and the Micropia retroelements were chosen for screening in seven species of the two Zaprionus subgenera, Anaprionus and Zaprionus. 相似文献4.
Impact of moisture on in vitro germination of Metarhizium anisopliae and Beauveria bassiana and their activity on Triatoma infestans 总被引:2,自引:1,他引:1

The in vitro germination of 11 Metarhizium anisopliae and 11 Beauveria bassiana isolates originating from substrates collected in rural peridomestic areas in Central Brazil where triatomines are common was tested. Conidia completed germination up to 24 h after exposure to water activity of >0.99 aw in all isolates tested. At lower 0.93 aw germination was delayed but conidia of most isolates germinated at high rates (>98 %) within 216 h of incubation. Activities of 2 M. anisopliae and 2 B. bassiana isolates with different patterns of germination at 0.93 aw were tested in Triatoma infestans third instar nymphs. There was no relationship between germination kinetics in vitro at 0.93 aw and their activity in vivo at 98, 75 and 43 % relative humidity (rh). Isolates with accelerated germination at 0.93 aw were not more virulent at 75 and 43 % rh compared with isolates with retarded or no germination. Highest mortalities were observed at 98 % rh, and they did not exceed 25 % after 25 d incubation at lower 75 and 43 % rh. Isolates that originated from a region with an extensive annual arid period showed no adaptation to lower humidity in their activity against T. infestans. 相似文献

Effect of iron on the expression of sirR and sitABC in biofilm-associated Staphylococcus epidermidis
Caroline Massonet Valerie Pintens Rita Merckx Jozef Anné Elke Lammertyn Johan Van Eldere 《BMC microbiology》2006,6(1):103
Background
Different gene expression patterns correlate with the altered phenotype in biofilm-associated bacteria. Iron and iron-linked genes are thought to play a key-role in biofilm formation. The expression of Fe-linked genes (sirR, sitABC operon) in Staphylococcus epidermidis, was compared in planktonic versus sessile bacteria in vitro and in vivo in a subcutaneous foreign body rat model. 相似文献6.

Background
Polyploidization is a prominent process in plant evolution, whereas the mechanism and tempo-spatial process remained poorly understood. Oryza officinalis complex, a polyploid complex in the genus Oryza, could exemplify the issues not only for it covering a variety of ploidy levels, but also for the pantropical geographic pattern of its polyploids in Asia, Africa, Australia and Americas, in which a pivotal genome, the C-genome, witnessed all the polyploidization process. 相似文献9.

Background
The genetics of spikelet formation, a feature unique to grasses such as rice and maize, is yet to be fully understood, although a number of meristem and organ identity mutants have been isolated and investigated in Arabidopsis and maize. Using a two-element Ac/Ds transposon tagging system we have isolated a rice mutant, designated branched floretless 1 (bfl1) which is defective in the transition from spikelet meristem to floret meristem. 相似文献10.

Background
Sinorhizobium meliloti is a symbiotic nitrogen-fixing bacterium that elicits nodules on roots of host plants Medicago sativa. During nodule formation bacteria have to withstand oxygen radicals produced by the plant. Resistance to H2O2 and superoxides has been extensively studied in S. meliloti. In contrast resistance to organic peroxides has not been investigated while S. meliloti genome encodes putative organic peroxidases. Organic peroxides are produced by plants and are highly toxic. The resistance to these oxygen radicals has been studied in various bacteria but never in plant nodulating bacteria. 相似文献11.

Background
In the present work the central carbon metabolism of Dinoroseobacter shibae and Phaeobacter gallaeciensis was studied at the level of metabolic fluxes. These two strains belong to the marine Roseobacter clade, a dominant bacterial group in various marine habitats, and represent surface-associated, biofilm-forming growth (P. gallaeciensis) and symbiotic growth with eukaryotic algae (D. shibae). Based on information from recently sequenced genomes, a rich repertoire of pathways has been identified in the carbon core metabolism of these organisms, but little is known about the actual contribution of the various reactions in vivo. 相似文献12.
Background
Hox genes are critical for patterning the bilaterian anterior-posterior axis. The evolution of their clustered genomic arrangement and ancestral function has been debated since their discovery. As acoels appear to represent the sister group to the remaining Bilateria (Nephrozoa), investigatingHox gene expression will provide an insight into the ancestral features of theHox genes in metazoan evolution. 相似文献13.

Background
The wild rodent Calomys callosus is notably resistant to Trypanosoma cruzi infection. In order to better characterize this animal model for experimental infections, we inoculated C. callosus intraperitoneally with Paracoccidioides brasiliensis, a thermally dimorphic fungus that causes a chronic disease with severe granuloma formation in the mouse and humans. The dissemination of P. brasiliensis cells through the lungs, liver, pancreas, and spleen was assessed by histological analysis. 相似文献15.
A dominant mutation (SAD) bypassing the requirement for the a mating type locus in yeast sporulation
Summary
SAD (suppressor of a deficiencies) is a mutation that allows -mater diploids such as / or a1-/ strains to sporulate. This mutation is unstable and reverts to wildtype (sad
+) even in strains homozygous for SAD. SAD is dominant to sad
+: / and a1-/ sad
1/SAD diploids are sporulation-proficient. SAD is located on chromosome III, 40 cM distal to the mating type locus, between THR4 and HMR
a. The ability of SAD to support sporulation requires the presence of an mating type locus with an active 2 function. Possible models for the action of SAD are (1) SAD bypasses the need for a1 function in sporulation, and (2) SAD provides a1 function to MAT
a1- mutants by supplying a1 function itself, for example, by allowing expression of a silent copy of MAT
a. 相似文献

Background
The wild herb Swertia mussotii is a source of the anti-hepatitis compounds swertiamarin, mangiferin and gentiopicroside. Its over-exploitation has raised the priority of producing these compounds heterologously. Somatic hybridization represents a novel approach for introgressing Swertia mussotii genes into a less endangered species. 相似文献17.

Background
Salmonella has been employed to deliver therapeutic molecules against cancer and infectious diseases. As the carrier for target gene(s), the cargo plasmid should be stable in the bacterial vector. Plasmid recombination has been reduced in E. coli by mutating several genes including the recA, recE, recF and recJ. However, to our knowledge, there have been no published studies of the effect of these or any other genes that play a role in plasmid recombination in Salmonella enterica. 相似文献19.

Background
The homB gene is a Helicobacter pylori disease-marker candidate, strongly associated with peptic ulcer disease, while homA, its paralogue gene with 90% sequence identity, is correlated with non-ulcer dyspepsia. The HomB encoded outer membrane protein was shown to contribute to the proinflammatory properties of H. pylori and also to be involved in bacterial adherence. 相似文献20.
