Rumen microbiome biology gets a boost with the release of 410 high-quality reference genomes from Hungate1000 project. Productivity ruminant livestock depends on rumen microbiota, which ferment indigestible plant polysaccharides into nutrients used for growth. Understanding functions carried out by microbiota is important reducing greenhouse gas production ruminants and developing biofuels lignocellulose. We present cultured bacteria archaea, together their genomes, representing every...
Siloxane–polyurethane fouling-release (FR) coatings based on aminopropyl terminated poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) macromers were prepared and characterized for FR performance via laboratory biological assays. These systems rely self-stratification, resulting in a coating with siloxane-rich surface polyurethane bulk. Previously, these have used PDMS multiple functional groups which react into the Here, prepared, where single amine group anchors coating. Coatings four molecular weights (1000,...
Polysiloxane coatings containing chemically-bound ("tethered") quaternary ammonium salt (QAS) moieties were investigated for potential application as environmental-friendly to control marine biofouling. A combinatorial/high-throughput approach was applied the investigation enable multiple variables be probed simultaneously and efficiently. The moisture-curable included QAS composition, ie alkyl chain length, concentration well silanol-terminated polysiloxane molecular weight. total of 75...
Self-cleaving RNAs (ribozymes) can be engineered to cleave target of choice in a sequence-specific manner (1). Consequently, they could used inhibit virus replication or analyse host gene function vivo. However, ribozymes that are catalytic vitro generally disappointing when analysed cells unless expressed at high levels relative their (2, 3). Here we provide evidence this overcome by optimizing ribozyme structure using cellular rather than cell-free assays. We show relatively long flanking...
Adhesion of raphid diatoms to surfaces, mediated by the secretion extracellular polymeric substances (EPS), is an important strategy for growth and survival. Diatom biofilms are also in context biofouling. Diatoms exhibit selectivity adhering but little understood about how they perceive properties a substratum translate that perception into altered adhesion properties. In this study, we demonstrate Seminavis robusta Danielidis et D. G. Mann , like many other pennate adheres more strongly...
Among different surface cues, the settlement of cells and larvae marine macrofouling organisms has been found to be strongly influenced by microtopographies. In this article, zoospores green alga Ulva linza on a topographic gradient investigated. "Honeycomb" structures with feature sizes ranging from 1 10 μm were prepared hot embossing, effect density spores that attached in assays was quantified. The highest when size microstructures similar or larger than spores. With decreasing...
Abstract BACKGROUND: UV‐curable coatings are promising candidates for environmentally friendly marine fouling‐release coatings. Cationic epoxy‐siloxane release show good performance but suffer from poor coating mechanical properties. A difunctional oxetane monomer, DOX, was co‐photopolymerized with an oligomer at loading levels 10 to 40 wt% obtain toughened RESULTS: The DOX‐toughened showed enhanced cationic photopolymerization activity, solvent resistance and modulus. (10 20 wt%) exhibited...
Previous studies have shown that elevated nitric oxide (NO) reduces adhesion in diatom, bacterial and animal cells. This article reports experiments designed to investigate whether NO the of zoospores green alga Ulva, an important fouling species. Surface-normalised values were measured using fluorescent indicator DAF-FM DA parallel hydrodynamic measurements strength made. Elevated levels caused by addition exogenous donor SNAP reduced spore settlement 20% resulted lower strength. Addition...

ABSTRACT Recruitment of individuals the marine alga Ulva linza on to a suitable habitat involves settlement motile zoospores substratum during which preformed adhesive is secreted by vesicular exocytosis. The fluorescent styryl dye FM 1‐43 and Ca 2+ indicators were used follow membrane cycling changes in cytosolic ([Ca ] cyt ) associated with settlement. When swimming exposed continuously 1‐43, plasma was preferentially labelled. During settlement, 1‐43‐labelled rapidly internalized...
Sequential observations in lodgepole pine (Pinuscontorta Dougl.) and Scots (P. sylvestris L.) showed that the second season's shoot was not produced solely from stem units terminal resting bud as previously assumed. The held rosette of primary needles surrounding elongated to form most shoot. only contributed 29 54% units. There a marked difference between an inland coastal provenance appearance apex at end first growing season.

When seedlings of a single seed source Scots pine (Pinussylvestris L.) were raised for 26 weeks in naturally lit, heated greenhouse, two types shoot morphology observed. Type 1 was that normally found 1-year-old seedlings. 2 had similar to outdoors growing seasons. compared with type plants, plants an earlier start elongation, set their buds earlier, and stopped elongation sooner. After one season, shorter, fewer stem units the second but carried greater foliage biomass than plants. seasons...
