The larval stage of the stingless bee Scaptotrigona depilis must consume a specific brood cell fungus in order to continue development. Here we show that this is member genus Zygosaccharomyces and provides essential steroid precursors developing bee. Insect pupation requires ecdysteroid hormones, as insects cannot synthesize sterols de novo, they obtain steroids their diet. Larval vitro culturing assays demonstrated consuming ergosterol recapitulates developmental effects on S. ingestion sp....
The Brazilian stingless bee Scaptotrigona depilis requires the brood cells-associated fungus Zygosaccharomyces sp. as steroid source for metamorphosis. Besides presence of sp., other fungi inhabit S. cells, but their biological functions are unknown. Here we show that Candida and Monascus ruber, isolated from cerumen provisions, interact with modulate its growth. produces volatile organic compounds (VOCs) stimulate Zygosacchromyces development. ruber inhibits growth by producing lovastatin,...
The molecular processes and proteomic markers leading to tumor progression (TP) in cervical cancer (CC) are either unknown or only partially understood. TP affects metabolic regulatory mechanisms that can be identified as changes. To identify which proteins differentially expressed understand the of progression, we analyzed dynamics proteome CC cell lines. This analysis revealed two up-regulated during TP, GSTM3 GSTP1. These involved maintenance, survival cellular stress response via NF-κB...
ABSTRACT Erwinia tracheiphila is the causal agent of bacterial wilt cucurbits. Here, we report genome sequence temperate phage EtG, which was isolated from an E. -infected cucumber plant. Phage EtG has a linear 30,413-bp double-stranded DNA with cohesive ends and 45 predicted open reading frames.
Erwinia tracheiphila is a bacterial plant pathogen emerging in eastern North America. To aid understanding genetic variation within E. tracheiphila, here we sequence the first reference genome of an infected muskmelon (Cucumis melo). The assembles into single chromosomal contig, three plasmid contigs, and one bacteriophage contig.
ABSTRACT Aspects of the interaction between phages and animals are interest importance for medical applications. Here, we report genome sequence lytic Pseudomonas phage AAT-1, isolated from mammalian serum. AAT-1 is a double-stranded DNA phage, with 57,599 bp, containing 76 predicted open reading frames.
Abstract Nitrogen-fixing bacteria have been extensively studied in the context of interactions with their host plants; however, little is known about phenotypic plasticity these microorganisms nonmutualistic other eukaryotes. A dual-species coculture model was developed by using plant symbiotic bacterium Rhizobium etli and well-studied eukaryote Saccharomyces cerevisiae as a tractable system to explore molecular mechanisms used R. nonmutual interactions. Here, we show that fungus promotes...
