Movile Cave (Mangalia, Romania) is a unique ecosystem where the food web sustained by microbial primary production, analogous to deep-sea hydrothermal vents. Specifically, chemoautotrophic microbes deriving energy from oxidation of hydrogen sulphide and methane form basis web. Here, we report isolation first methane-oxidizing bacterium ecosystem, Candidatus Methylomonas sp. LWB, new species representative mat samples. While previous research has suggested prevalence anoxic conditions in...
Digital citizenship is defined as using knowledge and skills to exhibit appropriate behavior online digital technology. Two hundred thirty-seven middle school students were surveyed about device use perception of practices on cyberbullying, netiquette, footprint, privacy, identity. Findings indicated that student mobile devices has increased, which established the need for parental monitoring their children. Only 55.3% internet/social media use, only 37.1% identified being taught in schools....
Vertebrate macrophages are a highly heterogeneous cell population, but while Drosophila blood is dominated by macrophage-like lineage (plasmatocytes), until very recently these cells were considered to represent homogeneous population. Here, we present our identification of enhancer elements labelling plasmatocyte subpopulations, which vary in abundance across development. These subpopulations exhibit functional differences compared the overall including more potent injury responses and...
Prymnesium parvum is a toxin-producing microalga, which causes harmful algal blooms globally, frequently leading to massive fish kills that have adverse ecological and economic implications for natural waterways aquaculture alike. The dramatic effects observed on are thought be due polyether toxins, known as the prymnesins, but their lack of environmental detection has resulted in an uncertainty about true ichthyotoxic agents. Using qPCR, we found elevated levels P. its lytic virus,...
Here we report the complete genome sequence of two moderately thermophilic methanotrophs isolated from a landfill methane biofilter,
In Drosophila blood, plasmatocytes of the haemocyte lineage represent functional equivalent vertebrate macrophages and have become an established in vivo model with which to study macrophage function behaviour. However, use as a has been limited by historical perspective that homogenous population cells, contrast high levels heterogeneity macrophages. Recently, number groups reported transcriptomic approaches suggest existence plasmatocyte heterogeneity, while we identified enhancer elements...
We describe the draft genome sequence of "Candidatus Methylomonas sp. LWB" isolated from Movile Cave microbial mat samples. The contains both soluble and particular methane monooxygenase; however, one putative particulate monooxygenase gene clusters is ordered pmoABC rather than in canonical arrangement pmoCAB.
SUMMARY Epithelial organs maintain their integrity and prevent tumour initiation by actively removing defective cells, such as those that have lost apicobasal polarity. Here, we identify how transcription factors of two key signalling pathways – Jun-N-terminal kinase (JNK) Hippo regulate epithelial controlling an overlapping set target genes. Targeted DamID experiments reveal in proliferating cells the Drosophila melanogaster eye, AP-1 factor Jun, pathway regulators Yorkie Scalloped bind to...
Prymnesium parvum is a toxin-producing microalga that causes harmful algal blooms (HABs) globally, frequently leading to massive fish kills have adverse ecological and economic implications for natural waterways aquaculture alike. The dramatic effects observed on are likely due algae-produced polyether toxins, known as the prymnesins, but these compounds had not been detected in environmental samples, which has resulted ambiguity about true ichthyotoxic entities. Using qPCR, we found...
