Molecular application of aptamers in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer and communicable diseases
(MDPI, 2018)
Cancer and infectious diseases such as Ebola, HIV, tuberculosis, Zika, hepatitis, measles
and human schistosomiasis are serious global health hazards. The increasing annual morbidities
and mortalities of these diseases ...
Inhibition of NOS- like activity in maize alters the expression of genes involved in H2O2 scavenging and glycine betaine biosynthesis
(Nature Publishing Group, 2018)
Nitric oxide synthase-like activity contributes to the production of nitric oxide in plants, which controls
plant responses to stress. This study investigates if changes in ascorbate peroxidase enzymatic
activity and ...
Adapting the yeast consolidated bioprocessing paradigm for biorefineries
(Green Wave Publishing of Canada, 2018)
Despite decades long development, no natural or engineered organism has been isolated that can produce commodity products at the rates and yields required by industry via direct microbial conversion. However, new genomic ...
Taxonomy of prokaryotic viruses: 2017 update from the ICTV Bacterial and Archaeal Viruses Subcommittee
(Springer, 2018)
The prokaryotic virus community is represented at the International
Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) by the
Bacterial and Archaeal Viruses Subcommittee. Since our
last report [5], the committee composition has ...
Factors influencing pigment production by halophilic bacteria and its effect on brine evaporation rates
(Wiley, 2018)
The disposal of reject brine, a highly concentrated
waste by-product generated by various industrial
processes, represents a major economic and environmental
challenge. The common practice in dealing
with the large ...
Brown rot-type fungal decomposition of sorghum bagasse: variable success and mechanistic implications
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2018)
Sweet sorghum is a promising crop for a warming, drying African climate, and basic information is lacking on conversion
pathways for its lignocellulosic residues (bagasse). Brown rot wood-decomposer fungi use carbohydra ...
Efficient superoxide scavenging and metal immobilization in roots determines the level of tolerance to vanadium stress in two contrasting Brassica napus genotypes
(Elsevier, 2018)
Brassica napus also known as Rapeseed is a member of the Brassicaceae family which is mainly cultivated for its
oil-rich seeds. Indeed, B. napus is ranked the third-largest source of vegetable oil in the world. Brassica ...
