Rosmarinic acid (RA) was assessed for its quorum sensing inhibitory (QSI) potential against Aeromonas hydrophila strains AH 1, AH 12 and MTCC 1739. The pathogenic strains of A. hydrophila were isolated from infected zebrafish and identified through biochemical analysis and amplification of a species-specific gene (rpsL). The biofilm inhibitory concentration (BIC) of RA against A. hydrophila strains was found to be 750 μg ml?1. At this concentration, RA reduced the QS mediated hemolysin, lipase and elastase production in A. hydrophila. In FT-IR analysis, RA treated A. hydrophila cells showed a reduction in cellular components. Gene expression analysis confirmed the down-regulation of virulence genes such as ahh1, aerA, lip and ahyB. A. hydrophila infected zebrafish upon treatment with RA showed increased survival rates. Thus, the present study demonstrates the use of RA as a plausible phytotherapeutic compound to control QS mediated biofilm formation and virulence factor production in A. hydrophila. 相似文献

Previous studies that pooled Indian populations from a wide variety of geographical locations, have obtained contradictory conclusions about the processes of the establishment of the Varna caste system and its genetic impact on the origins and demographic histories of Indian populations. To further investigate these questions we took advantage that both Y chromosome and caste designation are paternally inherited, and genotyped 1,680 Y chromosomes representing 12 tribal and 19 non-tribal (caste) endogamous populations from the predominantly Dravidian-speaking Tamil Nadu state in the southernmost part of India. Tribes and castes were both characterized by an overwhelming proportion of putatively Indian autochthonous Y-chromosomal haplogroups (H-M69, F-M89, R1a1-M17, L1-M27, R2-M124, and C5-M356; 81% combined) with a shared genetic heritage dating back to the late Pleistocene (10–30 Kya), suggesting that more recent Holocene migrations from western Eurasia contributed <20% of the male lineages. We found strong evidence for genetic structure, associated primarily with the current mode of subsistence. Coalescence analysis suggested that the social stratification was established 4–6 Kya and there was little admixture during the last 3 Kya, implying a minimal genetic impact of the Varna (caste) system from the historically-documented Brahmin migrations into the area. In contrast, the overall Y-chromosomal patterns, the time depth of population diversifications and the period of differentiation were best explained by the emergence of agricultural technology in South Asia. These results highlight the utility of detailed local genetic studies within India, without prior assumptions about the importance of Varna rank status for population grouping, to obtain new insights into the relative influences of past demographic events for the population structure of the whole of modern India. 相似文献

A study was made to understand whether there is any correlation between the physiological or morphogenetic activities of commensalic ciliates and the cycles of water propulsion of their hosts. Commonly occurring species ciliates. Boveria teredinidi, Trichodina balakrishnia, Nucleocorbula adherens, Thigmozoon fencheli and Nyctotherus marina from the hosts Teredo furcifera and Nausitora hedleyi were used. The total number and the individuals in division for each species of ciliates were noticed. The results obtained indicate that there is no correlation between the activities of these ciliates and cycles of water propulsion. The data were statistically analysed. It was found that shipworms below 8 mm. in size were not infected with these ciliates. This shows that infection takes place, not from the parent's body but from the outside water after a definite period of growth of the host. An increase in number of commensals in relation with the increase in size of the host was observed. There is a decline in numbers in the oldest hosts. The number of dividing individuals also follows the same pattern of occurrence. 相似文献

In the present study an attempt was made to exploit the benefit of intact cell MALDI mass spectrometry (ICM-MS) in bringing
out similarities and differences among some Rhizobium species and a species of Agrobacterium based on specific mass:charge (m/z) values. Rhizobium species isolated from the root nodules of selected leguminous plants were analysed by ICM-MS. The spectra were acquired in
the range of 500–10,000 Da yielding several peaks specific to each species. The peaks obtained corresponded to the respective
bacterial cell surface molecules which were desorbed during matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization. The number of peaks
were more in the range of 500–1200 Da. Dice similarity coefficient analysis of m/z values indicated that Rhizobium species isolated from Trigonella foenum-graecum and Pisum arvense showed more similarity than any other species. Agrobacterium species did show a few common m/z values in comparison with other Rhizobium species. This clearly shows that Agrobacterium is closely related to Rhizobium. Eventually, ICM-MS technique offers clear, distinct, and consistent results for replicates, in less than an hour’s time,
therefore this technique has high potential in molecular taxonomy. 相似文献

Globally, breast cancer is the second most common cancer among women. Although biomarker discoveries through various proteomic approaches of tissue and serum samples have been studied in breast cancer, urinary proteome alterations in breast cancer are least studied. Urine being a noninvasive biofluid and a significant source of proteins, it has the potential in early diagnosis of breast cancer. This study used complementary quantitative gel‐based and gel‐free proteomic approaches to find a panel of urinary protein markers that could discriminate HER2 enriched (HE) subtype breast cancer from the healthy controls. A total of 183 differentially expressed proteins were identified using three complementary approaches, namely 2D‐DIGE, iTRAQ, and sequential window acquisition of all theoretical mass spectra. The differentially expressed proteins were subjected to various bioinformatics analyses for deciphering the biological context of these proteins using protein analysis through evolutionary relationships, database for annotation, visualization and integrated discovery, and STRING. Multivariate statistical analysis was undertaken to identify the set of most significant proteins, which could discriminate HE breast cancer from healthy controls. Immunoblotting and MRM‐based validation in a separate cohort testified a panel of 21 proteins such as zinc‐alpha2‐glycoprotein, A2GL, retinol‐binding protein 4, annexin A1, SAP3, SRC8, gelsolin, kininogen 1, CO9, clusterin, ceruloplasmin, and α1‐antitrypsin could be a panel of candidate markers that could discriminate HE breast cancer from healthy controls. 相似文献

Fruit epidermis ofMusa (AAB) cv. Poovan (S) remains single-layered throughout its development. There is no change in stomatal number but its frequency
and index decrease due to slight increase in epidermal cell number and size. The external wall of the epidermal cells shows
stratification of wall layers that is characteristic of normal epidermal cell with cuticle and epicuticular wax deposits.
Surface wax deposits show qualitative and quantitative variations during fruit development and ripening. 相似文献

We assessed the presence of Rickettsia spp., Coxiella burnetii and Anaplasma phagocytophilum in reptiles, their ectoparasites and in questing ticks collected in a nature preserve park in southern Italy, as well as in a peri-urban area in another region. We also investigated the exposure to these pathogens in forestry workers, farmers and livestock breeders living or working in the nature preserve park given the report of anecdotal cases of spotted fever rickettsioses. Rickettsia spp. were molecularly detected in Podarcis muralis and Podarcis siculus lizards (i.e., 3.1%), in Ixodes ricinus (up to 87.5%) and in Neotrombicula autumnalis (up to 8.3%) collected from them as well as in I. ricinus collected from the environment (up to 28.4%). Rickettsia monacensis was the most prevalent species followed by Rickettsia helvetica. An undescribed member of the family Anaplasmataceae was detected in 2.4% and 0.8% of the reptiles and ectoparasites, respectively. Sera from human subjects (n = 50) were serologically screened and antibodies to Rickettsia spp. (n = 4; 8%), C. burnetti (n = 8; 16%) and A. phagocytophilum (n = 11; 22%) were detected. Two ticks collected from two forestry workers were positive for spotted fever group (SFG) rickettsiae. Ixodes ricinus is involved in the transmission of SFG rickettsiae (R. monacensis and R. helvetica) in southern Europe and lizards could play a role in the sylvatic cycle of R. monacensis, as amplifying hosts. Meanwhile, N. autumnalis could be involved in the enzootic cycle of some SFG rickettsiae among these animals. People living or working in the southern Italian nature preserve park investigated are exposed to SFG rickettsiae, C. burnetii and A. phagocytophilum. 相似文献
