Calcium ions (Ca2+) play a pivotal role in eukaryote cell signaling and regulate many physiological functions. Although similar for Ca2+ prokaryotes has been difficult to demonstrate, there is increasing evidence as regulator bacteria. The purpose of this study was investigate the effect on Staphylococcus aureus multidrug resistant efflux pump LmrS. We hypothesized that antibiotics act by concentrations, which turn enhance activity These transients were measured luminometry response various...
Locoweeds are legumes of the Astragalus and Oxytropis genera that live symbiotically with fungal endosymbionts belonging to Alternaria section Undifilum. These endophytes produce toxin swainsonine, which causes a neurological syndrome (locosim) when plant is ingested by grazing animals. Here we characterize growth within tissues using confocal scanning electron microscopy (SEM) define physical relationship. Microscopy results revealed endophyte distribution be densely networked, mycelia...
The dissatisfaction within the postdoctoral training phase has led to drastic reduction in number of U.S. citizens pursuing positions biological and biomedical sciences fields. Even more so, there is an obvious disparity not only recruitment but retention among underrepresented groups pursue careers as academic scientists. proposed social-ecological model National Institute Health advisory committee suggests reforming overcome these downward trends disparities. Importantly, some programs...
Swainsonine, an indolizidine alkaloid, is α-mannosidase and mannosidase II inhibitor that alters glycoprotein processing causes lysosomal storage disease. Swainsonine the toxic principle in several plant species worldwide severe toxicosis livestock grazing these plants. All swainsonine-containing taxa investigated to date are associated with fungal symbionts produce swainsonine. Among convolvulaceous species, Ipomoea carnea Jacq. a seed-transmitted symbiont belonging order Chaetothyriales....
