Abstract

A Gram-stain negative, alkaliphilic and halotolerant bacterium, designated CCL18T, was isolated from Lake Cuochuolong on the Tibetan Plateau. The strain was aerobic, short rod-shaped, catalase- and oxidase-positive, and motile by means of several polar flagella. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequencing indicated that strain CCL18T belongs to the genus Pelagibacterium, with its two closest neighbours being Pelagibacterium halotolerans B2T (96.6 %, 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity) and Pelagibacterium luteolum 1_C16_27T (96.1 %). The predominant respiratory quinone of strain CCL18T was Q-10, with Q-9 as a minor component. The major fatty acids were C18 : 1ω6c/C18 : 1ω7c (60.4 %), C19 : 0cyclo ω8c (8.1 %) and C18 : 0 (6.8 %). The polar lipids included phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol, seven kinds of unidentified lipids and three kinds of glycolipids. The DNA G+C content was 60.1 mol%. DNA-DNA hybridization showed 35.2 % relatedness between strain CCL18T and P. halotolerans B2T and 24.6 % relatedness to P. luteolum 1_C16_27T. Based on phylogenetic analysis, DNA-DNA hybridization and a range of physiological and biochemical characteristics, strain CCL18T was clearly distinguishable from the other strains ...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.
