Ultrastructural, Immunohistochemical, and Biochemical Variation Amongst Symbiodinium Isolates
(2013-07-30)
Symbiodinium spp. reside intracellularly in a complex symbiosome (host and symbiont-derived) in a specific host-symbiont associations. Symbiodinium is a diverse genus with variation equivalent to that of other dinoflagellate ...
Functional Genomics of Soil Bacteria using a Metagenomics Approach
(2012-07-31)
Soil microbial communities are an abundant resource for natural product discovery. Traditional methods such as cultivation of soil microorganisms from soil under laboratory conditions have lead to discovery of new compounds ...
Physiological Correlates of Bat Rabies Pathogenesis and Epizootiology
(2014-07-24)
Rabies virus (RABV) is one model pathogen to consider for studying the dynamics of emerging infectious diseases under both laboratory and field conditions. The evolutionary history of RABV is characterized by regularly ...
Functional Identification and Characterization of an Arabidopsis thaliana Gene Involved in Vitamin B6 Biosynthesis
(2009-02-23)
Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) is a biological coenzyme
seemingly involved in environmental stress
tolerance and an important vitamin in human
nutrition produced in plants as well as fungi and
bacteria. A series ...
Improving the phage-displayed peptide probes for pathogen detection
(2014-12-10)
In order to minimize the danger to the public from pathogen outbreaks, it is imperative to rapidly identify the infectious agent so appropriate response can be mounted and prevent dissemination of the organism. An ideal ...
Small RNA and Transcriptome Analysis of Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) Susceptibility, Resistance, and Hypersensitivity to Reniform Nematodes (Rotylenchulus reniformis)
(2014-12-10)
Reniform nematodes (RN) are semi-endoparasitic nematode species causing significant yield loss in cotton, particularly in the eastern US cotton belt. Successful RN parasitism is contingent on establishment of a syncytium, ...
Symbiosis and Nitrogen Cycling: Physiological Effects of Anemone Shrimps on Host Sea Anemones in the Caribbean Sea
(2014-07-24)
Symbioses are characteristic of coral reef communities and can involve networks of species interactions as well as specialized adaptations to reef conditions. Because coral reefs are surrounded by nutrient-poor water, ...
Geometric Morphometrics and Phylogeny of the Catfish genus Mystus Scopoli (Siluriformes:Bagridae) and North American Cyprinids (Cypriniformes)
(2013-12-11)
Understanding the evolution of organismal form is a primary concern of comparative biology, and inferring the phylogenetic history of shape change is, therefore, a central concern. Shape is one of the most important and ...
Making hypotheses precise: applying the physical method and linear modeling to evolutionary genomics
(2014-05-02)
Hypotheses in evolutionary genomics are commonly tested by qualitative comparisons among variables. However, the number of possible outcomes for such predictions is usually few, which can potentially trivialize or even ...
Observations on the Ecology and Behavior of Macroseius biscutatus, an Obligate Pitcher Plant Mite
(2013-04-16)
The current conservation status of arthropods symbiotically associated with tall-form Sarracenia spp. is poorly known. Yet these unique organisms and their associations are disappearing due to habitat loss, degradation and ...
