Open AccessElevation of dopamine level reduces host-seeking activity in the adult female mosquito Aedes albopictus
Mosquito-borne viruses are transmitted to human hosts via blood-feeding behavior of female mosquitoes. Female mosquitoes seek a host to take blood meals (host-seeking behavior). In order to prevent virus infectio...

Mechanism of the Photocatalytic Inactivation of Lactobacillus casei Phage PL-1 by Titania Thin Film
The mechanism of the inactivation of Lactobacillus casei phage PL-1 suspended in a phosphate buffer by black-light (BL) -catalytic titanium dioxide (TiO2) thin film was studied. Generation of both superoxide anio...

Effects of Some Calcium-Related Agents on the Protoplast Transfection of Lactobacillus casei with Phage PL-1 DNA
To clarify the mechanism of Ca2+involvement in the DNA transfer through cell membrane, we studied the effects of Ca2+-chelator, Ca2+-ionophore, and Ca2+-channel blocker on the protoplast transfection of Lactobac...

Involvement of host cell energy in the transfection of Lactobacillus casei protoplasts with phage PL-1 DNA
Transfection of Lactobacillus casei ATCC 27092 protoplasts with phage PL-1 DNA was studied under various conditions. The process of transfection was dependent on the incubation temperature, and the apparent activ...

Electron microscope studies on the host cell energy requirement for injection of PL-1 phage DNA intoLactobacillus casei
The process of genome DNA injection, after adsorption, by phage PL-1 intoLactobacillus casei ATCC 27092 was monitored by electron microscopy. The DNA injection depended on the incubation temperature, and the appa...
