Abstract

Four facultatively alkalophilic isolates were purified from enrichment cultures initiated with lime-treated garden soil. Four isolates, OF1, OF3, OF4, and OF6, were obligately aerobic, spore-forming, gram-positive, motile rods which were capable of growth at both pH 7.5 and pH 10.5. Strains OF1 and OF6 grew best at the lower pH value; and whereas growth of these strains at pH 10.5 was completely dependent on added Na+, growth at pH 7.5 was only partially dependent on added Na+. Strains OF3 and OF4 grew better at pH 10.5 than at pH 7.5, with strain OF3 growing modestly over its entire pH range, while OF4 grew well. Growth of OF3 and OF4 was completely dependent on added Na+ at both pH 7.5 and pH 10.5. DNA-DNA hybridization studies indicated that OF1 and OF6 are closely related strains but are not related to the other isolates, Bacillus subtilis, or two previously studied obligately alkalophilic bacilli. OF3 was unrelated to any of the other organisms examined in the study, whereas OF4 showed complete homology with obligately alkalophilic Bacillus firmus RAB. All four isolates maintained a cytoplasmic pH that was considerably lower than the external pH when the latter was 10.5. Although substantial transmembrane electrical potent...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
