Abstract

A Gram-stain-positive, spore-forming bacterium, EAG3T, capable of growing on 3-nitropropionic acid as the sole source of carbon, nitrogen and energy, was isolated from the anterior gut of an earthworm (Eisenia fetida) reared at the Centre of Floriculture and Agribusiness Management of the University of North Bengal at Siliguri (26.7072° N, 88.3558° E), West Bengal, India. The DNA G+C content of strain EAG3T was 42.5 mol%. Strain EAG3T contained MK-7 and MK-8 as predominant menaquinones. The predominant polar lipids were phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylethanolamine. The major cellular fatty acids were 13-methyltetradecanoic acid, (9Z)-9-hexadecen-1-ol, 12-methyltetradecanoic acid and 14-methylpentadecanoic acid. The draft genome of strain EAG3T, distributed in 57 contigs, was found to be 3.8 Mb. A total of 3811 potential coding sequences or genes were predicted, including 3672 protein-coding and 108 RNA-coding ones together with 31 pseudogenes. One hundred and thirty-five genes encoded hypothetical proteins with no meaningful homologies with known proteins. The EAG3T genome encompassed two nitronate monooxygenase and one methylmalonate-semialdehyde dehydrogenase (CoA acylating) homologues. 16S rRNA g...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.
