By immunocytochemistry and immunoblotting, we examined normal neoplastic human tissues with polyclonal antibodies raised against selected peptide regions of proprotein convertase-2 -3 (PC2 PC3), two proteases that have been shown to selectively cleave neuroendocrine precursor molecules at pairs basic residues. Immunoreactivity for both enzymes was detected in cells pituitary, gut, pancreas, thyroid, adrenals tumors thereof, but absent thyroid follicular cells, parathyroids, adrenal cortex,...
ABSTRACT The application of a selected Acetobacter pasteurianus strain for traditional balsamic vinegar production was assessed. Genomic DNA extracted from biofilms after enrichment cultures on GYC medium (10% glucose, 1.0% yeast extract, 2.0% calcium carbonate) and used PCR/denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis, 16S rRNA gene sequencing, enterobacterial repetitive intergenic consensus/PCR sequencing. Results suggested that double-culture fermentation is suitable acetification.
Demands for renewable and sustainable biopolymers have rapidly increased in the last decades along with environmental issues. In this context, bacterial cellulose, as biodegradable biopolymer has received considerable attention. Particularly, acetic acid bacteria of Komagataeibacter xylinus species can produce cellulose from several carbon sources. To fully exploit metabolic potential producing bacteria, an understanding ability different sources characterization genes involved synthesis is...
Because of the rarity medullary thyroid carcinoma, adequate information for determination prognostic characteristics and clinical course this disease can be obtained only from a database that serves large population.A retrospective review 109 patients with sporadic carcinoma was conducted; all were diagnosed treated at single institution over 30-year period. The series included 57 males 52 females median follow-up 5.3 years. Statistical univariate analysis relapse free survival overall done...
The aim of this work is to identify the dominant yeast species in homemade sourdoughs.PCR/restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis internal transcribed spacer regions was used for identification isolates and data were confirmed with phenotypic tests. strains belonging Saccharomyces cerevisiae identified strain level by inter-delta regions.This shows that sourdoughs can differ from each other. found be species, followed Candida milleri, C. humilis, S. exiguus Issatchenkia orientalis....
New taxonomic and biostratigraphic investigations on the late Carnian to Rhaetian (Upper Triassic) platform conodonts from Pizzo Mondello section (Western Sicily, Italy, Sicano basin) are here presented. is one of two GSSP candidates for Carnian/Norian boundary; a 430 m thick continuous succession upper Norian marine limestones (Scillato Formation), characterized by uniform facies high sedimentation rates, ca. 20 white calcilutites (Portella Gebbia limestone). offers most complete conodont...
In this study, a medical device made of surface microstructured bacterial cellulose was produced using cellulose-producing acetic acid bacteria wild-type strains in combination with guided assembly-based biolithography. The aims at interfering the cell's focal adhesion establishment and maturation around implantable devices placed soft tissues by symmetrical array on its surface. A total 25 Komagataeibacter evaluated over three-step selection. first step, ability to produce suitable layer...
