Most eukaryotic species represent stable karyotypes with a particular diploid number. B chromosomes are additional to standard and may vary in size, number morphology even between cells of the same individual. For many years it was generally believed that found some plant, animal fungi lacked active genes. Recently, molecular cytogenetic studies showed presence copies protein-coding genes on chromosomes. However, transcriptional activity these remained elusive. We studied Siberian roe deer...
Abstract The roles extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) play in mineral attachment and weathering were studied using genetically modified biofilms of the rock-inhabiting fungus Knufia petricola strain A95. Mutants deficient melanin and/or carotenoid synthesis grown as air-exposed biofilms. Extracted EPS quantified characterised a combination analytical techniques. absence affected quantity composition produced EPS: mutants no longer able to form synthesised more containing fewer...
There is a growing body of evidence that B chromosomes, once regarded as totally heterochromatic and genetically inert, harbor multiple segmental duplications containing clusters ribosomal RNA genes, processed pseudogenes protein-coding genes. Application novel molecular approaches further supports complex composition possible phenotypic effects chromosomes.Here we review recent findings gene-carrying genomic segments on chromosomes from different vertebrate groups. We demonstrate the...
• Widely applicable UV mutagenesis method to improve transgene expression in the microalga Chlamydomonas . New CC-1690*** chassis strain with shear stress tolerance, mating-competence and high capacity. Proof-of-concept cadaverine production from CO 2 CC-1690***. In future, algae biotechnology could play an important role sustainable development, especially regard of valuable chemicals. Among established laboratory strains efficient expression, there are none that have demonstrated required...
The Siberian roe deer <i>(Capreolus pygargus)</i> is one of a few species presumably preserving the ancestral cervid karyotype. comparative genomic data are critical for our understanding karyotypic relationships within artiodactyls. We have established chromosomal homologies between and dromedary <i>(Camelus dromedarius)</i> by cross-species chromosome painting with chromosome-specific probes. Dromedary paints detected 53 autosomal in genome deer. identification...
