Interaction of Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus 100NCJB with bacteria Campylobacter jejuni (strains 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5) and Helicobacter pylori, strain TX30a, was confirmed. The results indicate that lytic activity of bdellovibrios both in liquid media and cells attached
to a surface was observed. The potential use of the antimicrobial activity of predatory bacteria for environmental bioprotection
and public health is discussed. 相似文献

Pilobolus crystallinus shows unique photoresponses at various growing stages. cDNAs for putative photoreceptors were cloned from this fungus. Three
genes named pcmada1, pcmada2, and pcmada3 were identified from the PCR fragments, and amplified with degenerated primers for the LOV domain, which is conserved in
many blue-light receptors. Deduced amino acid sequences for PCMADA1, PCMADA2, and PCMADA3 had one light-oxygen-voltage (LOV)-sensing
and two PER-ARNT-SIM (PAS) domains. A zinc finger DNA-binding motif was conserved in the C-terminals of PCMADA1 and PCMADA3.
However, PCMADA2 lacked the zinc finger motif. Expression of pcmada1 was suppressed by blue light whereas that of pcmada3 was promoted by blue-light irradiation. 相似文献

The life cycle and developmental stages of Aylax hypecoi (Trotter, 1913, Hymenoptera: Cynipidae: Aylacini) were studied in detail. Aylax hypecoi is known to induce galls in fruits of two Hypecoum species — H. imberbe and H. geslini (Papaveraceae) and the larva develops in host plant fruits. The morphology and development of egg, larva and pupa were investigated, which
has previously not been done. The shape and size of terminal-instar larvae and associated galls are sex-specific. Overwintering
stage, adult emergence and flying periods, and egg productivity were studied also. 相似文献

Aspergillus section Nigri strains Aspergillus aculeatus Ege-K 258, A.
foeditus var. pallidus Ege-K156, A. niger Ege-K 4 and A. tubingensis Ege-K 265 were used to treat olive mill wastewater (OMW) in an investigation aimed at exploring their dephenolisation and
decolourisation ability and, consequently, the economic feasibility of using any or all of these strains in a pre-treatment
step in the processing of OMW. Of these strains A. tubingensis Ege-K 265 resulted in an 80% decolourisation of twofold-diluted OMW and a 30% decolourisation of undiluted OMW; in addition,
it was able to remove approximately 30% of all phenolic compounds in both twofold-diluted and undiluted OMW. We conclude that
A. tubingensis Ege-K 265 could be effectively used in the pre-treatment step of a combined aerobic-anaerobic process to solve the environmental
problems caused by OMW in Mediterranean countries. 相似文献

Nanobodies (or VHHs) are single-domain antigen-binding fragments derived from Camelid heavy chain-only antibodies. Their small size, monomeric behaviour, high stability and solubility, and ability to bind epitopes
not accessible to conventional antibodies make them especially suitable for many therapeutic and biotechnological applications.
Here we describe high-level expression, in Nicotiana benthamiana, of three versions of an anti-hen egg white lysozyme (HEWL) nanobody which include the original VHH from an immunized library
(cAbLys3), a codon-optimized derivative, and a codon-optimized hybrid nanobody comprising the CDRs of cAbLys3 grafted onto
an alternative ‘universal’ nanobody framework. His6- and StrepII-tagged derivatives of each nanobody were targeted for accumulation
in the cytoplasm, chloroplast and apoplast using different pre-sequences. When targeted to the apoplast, intact functional
nanobodies accumulated at an exceptionally high level (up to 30% total leaf protein), demonstrating the great potential of
plants as a nanobody production system. 相似文献

Background
Salmonella enterica serotype Gallinarum (S. Gallinarum) remains an important pathogen of poultry, especially in developing countries. There is a need to develop effective and safe vaccines. In the current study, the effect of crp deletion was investigated with respect to virulence and biochemical properties and the possible use of a deletion mutant as vaccine candidate was preliminarily tested. 相似文献9.

Microstructural and diagenetic patterns in acervulinid foraminifers are investigated through detailed petrographical, SEM,
and geochemical analyses of Recent and fossil Acervulina and Eocene Solenomeris. The acervulinid test is composed of an optically radial hyaline magnesian calcite. The chessboard-chamber arrangement represents
an efficient way for minimizing the volume accretion rate of cytoplasm, this being probably an important requirement for foraminifera
with no predesigned external shape, such as the encrusting forms. Several newly described skeletal features reflect directly
adaptation and responses to environmental constraints, such as microborer pressure, water energy, adaptation to substrate
shape, skeleton repair, and compartmentalization of cytoplasm. The Eocene Solenomeris from the Pyrenees have recorded in their skeletons several diagenetic processes comprising two different phases of cementation
followed by recrystallization. These events are accompanied by a marked loss of magnesium content and preceded or followed
by an alteration of the Primary Organic Membrane. These diagenetic processes, in particular the early cementation, alter the
overall layered pattern typical of foraminifera and produce a pseudo-file arrangement, mimicking an algal structure. 相似文献

Hybridization between Alouatta spp. has been suggested at contact zones of A. palliata and A. pigra in Mexico and of A. caraya and A. guariba clamitans in Brazil and Argentina. Whereas genetic data confirmed hybridization between the former pair of species, hybrid individuals
of the latter pair have been putatively identified on the basis of a mosaic pelage color. In this paper, we describe the first
confirmed cases of hybridization between a female A. guariba clamitans and a male A. caraya. One hybrid male was born in 2007 and one hybrid female was born in 2009 with distinct coat colors. The male resembled the
newborn color pattern characteristic of A. guariba clamitans, whereas the female resembled the newborn pattern of A. caraya. The birth and survival of the male hybrid for a year and a half indicated the viability of the heterogametic sex. 相似文献

The reproductive ecology of the gobiid fish Bathygobius fuscus was studied at Nobeoka, Miyazaki, Japan. Males of this species maintain small rock holes as a nest and females spawn an egg
mass on the wall of the nest. The males employed two forms of mating tactic: nest holding and sneaking. A nest holder stayed
in the nest and waited for a female to visit, whereas a sneaker intruded into a nest while a pair was engaged in reproduction.
Males larger than 55 mm standard length were always nest holders; those of smaller size employed both tactics. As the larger
males excluded the smaller males, the latter did not occupy a nest hole. With a decrease in the number of larger males, smaller
males changed their mating tactic from sneaking to nest holding. The results suggest that male Bathygobius fuscus adopt a conditional strategy whereby they change their tactic depending on their social status.

There are three most important bacterial causative agents of serious infections that could be misused for warfare purposes:
Bacillus anthracis (the causative agent of anthrax) is the most frequently mentioned one; however, Fracisella tularensis (causing tularemia) and Yersinia pestis (the causative agent of plague) are further bacterial agents enlisted by Centers for Disease Control and Prevention into the category A of potential biological weapons. This review intends to summarize basic information about these bacterial
agents. Military aspects of their pathogenesis and the detection techniques suitable for field use are discussed. 相似文献

In plants, stomata play a pivotal role in the regulation of gas exchange and are distributed throughout the aerial epidermis.
SDD1, a gene isolated from Arabidopsis thaliana has been demonstrated to specialize in stomatal density and distribution. In our present study, a comprehensive survey of
global gene expression performed by using an A. thaliana whole genome Affymetrix gene chip revealed SDD1 tends to be significantly lower in tetraploid Isatis indigotica than in diploid ones. To intensively investigate different SDD1 expression in response to polyploidy, a full-length cDNA
clone (IiSDD1) encoding SDD1 was isolated from the traditional Chinese medicinal herb I. indigotica cDNA library. IiSDD1 shared a high level of identity with that from A. thaliana, containing some basic features of subtilases: D, H and S regions, as well as a substrate-binding site. Real-time quantitative
PCR analysis indicated that IiSDD1 was constitutively expressed in all tested tissues, including roots, stems and leaves, both in tetraploid and diploid I. indigotica, and with the highest expression in leaves. In addition, IiSDD1 was also found to be down-regulated by signalling molecules for plant defence responses, such as abscisic acid (100 μM) and
gibberellin (100 mg/L), as well as by environmental stresses including salt, darkness, coldness and drought. Our study, for
the first time, indicates SDD1 participates not only in the defense/stress responsive pathways, but also probably involves
in plants polyploidy evolution. 相似文献

In Bacillus subtilis, mutant alleles of the genes sms and subA partially suppress the recombination phenotype of recU cells. When present in an otherwise Rec(+) strain, Delta sms and Delta subA alleles render cells slightly sensitive to DNA-damaging agents, and impair chromosomal transformation (3- to 10-fold reduction), but do not affect plasmid transformation (less than 1.5-fold reduction). The Delta sms and Delta subA alleles were introduced into rec-deficient strains representative of the epistatic groups alpha (recF strain), beta (addA addB), gamma (recH), epsilon (recB, Delta recU and recD strains) and zeta (Delta recS). Both the Delta sms and Delta subA mutations were found to increase sensitivity to DNA-damaging agents in recF, Delta recS and addAB cells. In contrast, the Delta sms mutations decreased the sensitivity of recB, Delta recU, recD and recH cells, and the Delta subA mutation decreased the sensitivity of recB and Delta recU cells to DNA-damaging agents. Functions classified within the epistatic groups alpha, epsilon and zeta are required for intramolecular recombination, measured as plasmid transformation. The Delta sms and Delta subA mutations, which partially suppressed the recombinational repair phenotype of mutants for functions within epistatic group epsilon, enhanced plasmid transformation of recU (recB, recD) and recS cells by 10- to 20-fold. In the absence of the proteins Sms and SubA, the recombination machinery is apparently redirected towards (an) alternative pathway(s). Furthermore, the shared ability of the Delta sms and Delta subA mutations to act as indirect suppressors of recB, recU and recD mutations supports the classification of the recBUD genes within epistatic group epsilon. 相似文献
