In Search of Beta-Rhizobia: Exploring the Symbionts of Mimosa in Brazil

In 2001, the first identification of β-proteobacteria, which belong to the Burkholderia and Ralstonia genera and are able to nodulate legumes, has changed the long-held perception that legumes can only form nitro...

Bioactive hydroxyphenylpyrrole-dicarboxylic acids from a new marine Halomonas sp.: production and structure elucidation

The new marine Halomonas sp. strain GWS-BW-H8hM (DSM 17996) was found to produce 3-(4′-hydroxyphenyl)-4-phenylpyrrole-2,5-dicarboxylic acid (HPPD-1) and 3,4-bis(4′-hydroxy- phenyl)pyrrole-2,5-dicarboxylic acid (H...

Genetic variations of cell wall digestibility related traits in floral stems of Arabidopsis thaliana accessions as a basis for the improvement of the feeding value in maize and forage plants

Floral stems of Arabidopsis thaliana accessions were used as a model system relative to forage plant stems in genetic variation studies of lignin content and cell wall digestibility related traits. Successive inv...

The peptidylarginine deiminases expressed in human epidermis differ in their substrate specificities and subcellular locations

Deimination, a post-translational modification catalyzed by peptidylarginine deiminases (PADs), appears as a crucial Ca²⁺-dependent event in the last steps of epidermal differentiation. In normal human epidermis,...

Rig2, a RING finger protein that interacts with the Kin28/Ccl1 CTD kinase in yeast

Kin28/Ccl1, a cyclin-dependent kinase, is essential for the in vivo phosphorylation of the C-terminal domain of the largest subunit of RNA polymerase II in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. In a search for mutations co-...

Use of dissolved carbohydrates by planktonic bacteria in a mesotrophic lake

Dissolved carbohydrates comprise one of the largest pools of labile organic matter readily available for bacterial use in pelagic ecosystems. Despite this fact, very little is known about use of dissolved carb...

Growth limitation of planktonic bacteria in a large mesotrophic lake

We studied nutrient-limitation of bacterioplankton growth in Lake Constance, a mesotrophic lake, between February and August in 1992. We amended 1-μm filtrates with a single nutrient or nutrient combinations a...

The glycerol kinase (GUT1) gene of Saccharomyces cerevisiae: cloning and characterization

The GUT1 gene of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, encoding glycerol kinase, was cloned and sequenced. The cloned genomic DNA fragment contains an open reading frame potentially coding for a protein of 709 amino acids wi...

DNA Polymerase δ (POL3) of Saccharomyces cerevisiae

There are three DNA polymerases in yeast which are essential for cell proliferation. Whereas DNA polymerase α (POL1) might be involved in the initiation of nuclear DNA replication (Pizzagalli et al., 1988), the s...

Bacterial Cycling of Matter in the Pelagic Zone of Aquatic Ecosystems

This paper discusses the role of bacteria in influencing the patterns of organic and inorganic matter fluxes in pelagic ecosystems of lakes and oceans. We find that the ecological and biogeochemical roles of b...
