Effect of Dexamethasone on Adhesion of Human Neutrophils and Concomitant Secretion
AbstractNeutrophils play a dual role in protecting the body. They are able to penetrate infected tissues and destroy pathogens there by releasing...

Concomitant Exposure to Lower Doses of Arsenic, Lead, and Manganese Induces Greater Synergistic Neurotoxicity Than Individual Metals in Mice
People in Bangladesh are often exposed to low to high levels of multiple metals due to contaminated groundwater with various heavy metals such as...

Selenite bioreduction with concomitant green synthesis of selenium nanoparticles by a selenite resistant EPS and siderophore producing terrestrial bacterium
Environmental bacterial isolates play a very important role in bioremediation of metals and toxic metalloids. A bacterial strain with high selenite...

Hazardous Phytotoxic Nature of Reactive Oxygen Species in Agriculture
During the course of normal metabolic activities in plants such as photosynthesis, respiration, and cellular metabolism, several reactive oxygen...

Light competition drives species replacement during secondary tropical forest succession
Light competition is thought to drive successional shifts in species dominance in closed vegetations, but few studies have assessed this for...

Loss of amphibian species alters periphyton communities in montane ponds
Amphibian larvae can affect the structure and functioning of freshwater ecosystems, but their effects have been little explored although amphibian...

Taxonomy and Species Diversity of Sourdough Lactic Acid Bacteria
This chapter describes the taxonomy and species diversity of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) isolated from sourdoughs from all over the world. First, the...

Alien flora of Mongolia: species richness, introduction dynamics and spatial patterns
We present the updated checklist of the alien flora of Mongolia, with information on species status, taxonomy, distribution, habitats, and economic...

Role of Melatonin in Management of Stress Tolerance of Forest Tree Species
Plant growth is hindered by the exposure to biotic and abiotic stresses. Biotic stress comprises the attack of plants by insects, fungi, bacteria,...

Methods to Measure Reactive Oxygen Species Production by NADPH Oxidases
NADPH oxidases (Noxes) are a family of enzymes that catalyze the oxidation of NADPH by molecular oxygen to produce superoxide radical anion (O2•–)...

Location and timing govern tripartite interactions of fungal phytopathogens and host in the stem canker species complex
BackgroundLeptosphaeria maculans “brassicae” (Lmb) and Leptosphaeria biglobosa “brassicae” (Lbb) make up a species complex involved in the stem...

The gills and skin microbiota of five pelagic fish species from the Atlantic Ocean
The gills and skin microbiota and microbiome of wild fish remain far more under-investigated compared to that of farmed fish species, despite that...

Forest gaps increase true bug diversity by recruiting open land species
Forests canopy gaps play an important role in forest ecology by driving the forest mosaic cycle and creating conditions for rapid plant reproduction...

Species-specific responses of marine bacteria to environmental perturbation
Environmental perturbations shape the structure and function of microbial communities. Oil spills are a major perturbation and resolving spills often...

Strategies for difficult times: physiological and morphological responses to drought stress in seedlings of Central European tree species
Key messagePicea abies and Pinus sylvestris seedlings conserve soil water and are more sensitive to drought showing photoinhibition even under...

Mangrove species found in contrasting environments show differing phytohormonal responses to variation in soil bulk density
Background and aimsMangrove species respond to variation in soil bulk density (BD). However, very little is known about the regulatory mechanisms...

Marine Mammals and Seabirds of Chilean Patagonia: Focal Species for the Conservation of Marine Ecosystems
Chilean Patagonia boasts 100,627 km of coastline, including approximately 40,050 islands and numerous fjords and channels, which generate a high...

Trichodermosis: Human Infections Caused by Trichoderma Species
The spectrum of filamentous fungi emerging as opportunistic human pathogens is widening constantly. Various types of mycoses with often severe,...

Ancestral reconstruction reveals catalytic inactivation of activation-induced cytidine deaminase concomitant with cold water adaption in the Gadiformes bony fish
BackgroundAntibody affinity maturation in vertebrates requires the enzyme activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID) which initiates secondary...

Positive shifts in species richness and abundance of moths over five decades coincide with community-wide phenotypic trait homogenisation
AbstractWhile some species rapidly decline, compromising vital ecosystem services, others are stable or even increasing in abundance. We studied...
