Mycophenolic acid (MPA) can be produced in solid state fermentation. An isolate of Penicillium brevi-compactum ATCC 16024 grown on moist wheat bran produced a titre of 425 mg per kg of wheat bran. Central composite rotatable design
and response surface methodology were employed to derive a statistical model for media optimization towards production of
mycophenolic acid. Five levels with a five factorial design were adopted. The correlation coefficient was 0.82, ensuring a
satisfactory adjustment of the model to the experimental values. This statistical design was very effective in improving the
titre of mycophenolic acid up to 3286 mg per kg of wheat bran.

The YopE cytotoxin of Yersinia pseudotuberculosis is an essential virulence determinant that is injected into the eukaryotic target cell via a plasmid-encoded type III secretion system. Injection of YopE into eukaryotic cells induces depolymerization of actin stress fibres. Here, we show that YopE exhibits a GTPase-activating protein (GAP) activity and that the presence of YopE stimulates downregulation of Rho, Rac and Cdc42 activity. YopE has an arginine finger motif showing homology with those found in other GAP proteins. Exchange of arginine 144 with alanine, located in this arginine finger motif, results in an inactive form of YopE that can no longer stimulate GTP hydrolysis by the GTPase. Furthermore, a yopE(R144A) mutant is unable to induce cytotoxicity on cultured HeLa cells in contrast to the corresponding wild-type strain. Expression of wild-type YopE in cells of Saccharomyces cerevisiae inhibits growth, while in contrast, expression of the inactive form of YopE, YopE(R144A), does not affect the yeast cells. Co-expression of proteins belonging to the Rho1 pathway of yeast, Rho1, Rom2p, Bck1 and Ste20, suppressed the growth phenotype of YopE in yeast cells. These results provide evidence that YopE exhibits a GAP activity to inactivate RhoGTPases, leading to depolymerization of the actin stress fibres in eukaryotic cells and growth inhibition in yeast. 相似文献

Background
Although Morbillivirus and Toxoplasma gondii have emerged as important pathogens for several cetaceans populations over the last 20 years, they have never been identified together in a Mysticete. In particular, morbilliviral infection has been never described in the Mediterranean fin whale population.Case presentation
On January 2011 an adult male of fin whale (Balaenoptera physalus) stranded along the Tyrrhenian coastline of Italy. During necropsy, tissue samples from heart, skeletal muscle, mesenteric lymph nodes, liver, spleen, lung, and kidney were collected and subsequently analyzed for Morbillivirus and Toxoplasma gondii by microscopic and molecular methods. Following the detailed necropsy carried out on this whale, molecular analysis revealed, for the first time, the simultaneous presence of a Dolphin Morbillivirus (DMV) and T. gondii infection coexisting with each other, along with high organochlorine pollutant concentrations, with special reference to DDT.Conclusion
This report, besides confirming the possibility for Mysticetes to be infected with DMV, highlights the risk of toxoplasmosis in sea water for mammals, already immunodepressed by concurrent factors as infections and environmental contaminants. 相似文献24.
The paper discusses he dynamics of the cycles of long-monitored (1971–2012) wood grouse population inhabiting the experimental unit of the All-Russia Research Institute of Game Management and Fur Farming, as well as the dynamics of the cycles of 12 other populations in the Novosibirsk region that were subject to monitoring from 2000 to 2012. The population sizes were estimated using annual walk-through surveys conducted according to uniform methods. The chronograms were tested for latent harmonic components. The districts involved in the walk-through survey were attributed the spectra of population dynamics and evaluated in terms of periods and the power of the harmonic components of each spectrum. It was identified that the spectrum of the population dynamics was comprised of eight pronounced harmonic components differing in amplitude and power; the most powerful components referred to periods of 4.5 and 14.9 years. The relationship between the rate and the power of the dynamics of the wood grouse population cycles differs depending on the district of the Novosibirsk region. Moreover, there is a trend of increasing durations of low-frequency cycles in the northern direction. The sites inhabited by wood grouses feature natural environmental rhythms that can influence (prolong) the population cycles of this species. 相似文献
