The Thermoanaerobacter Glycobiome Reveals Mechanisms of Pentose and Hexose Co-Utilization in Bacteria
(PLos Genetics, 2011-10-13)
Author Summary Renewable liquid fuels derived from lignocellulosic biomass could alleviate global energy shortage and climate change. Cellulose and hemicellulose are the main components of lignocellulosic biomass. ...
Physiological Roles of ArcA, Crp, and EtrA and Their Interactive Control on Aerobic and Anaerobic Respiration in Shewanella oneidensis
(PLos One, 2010-12-28)
In the genome of Shewanella oneidensis, genes encoding the global regulators ArcA, Crp, and EtrA have been identified. All these proteins deviate from their counterparts in E. coli significantly in terms of functionality ...
Concepts and Measurement in Multimethod Research
(Political Research Quarterly, 2013-06-01)
This article argues that concept misformation and conceptual stretching undermine efforts to combine qualitative and quantitative methods in multimethod research (MMR). Two related problems result from the mismatch of ...
Association of IFIH1 and pro-inflammatory mediators: Potential new clues in SLE-associated pathogenesis
(PLos One, 2017-02-24)
Antiviral defenses are inappropriately activated in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and association between SLE and the antiviral helicase gene, IFIH1, is well established. We sought to extend the previously reported ...
Elimination of Chromosomal Island SpyCIM1 from Streptococcus pyogenes Strain SF370 Reverses the Mutator Phenotype and Alters Global Transcription
(PLos One, 2015-12-23)
Streptococcus pyogenes chromosomal island M1 (SpyCIM1) integrates by site-specific recombination into the 5’ end of DNA mismatch repair (MMR) gene mutL in strain SF370SmR, blocking transcription of it and the downstream ...
Manufacturing silk/epoxy composite laminates : challenges and opportunities
(2018-05-21)
Application of natural fibers in polymer composites has been gaining popularity in several industries pursuing
environmentally friendly products. Among the natural fibers with proven potential applications, silk fibers ...
Ablation of Doublecortin-Like Kinase 1 in the Colonic Epithelium Exacerbates Dextran Sulfate Sodium-Induced Colitis
(PLos One, 2015-08-18)
Doublecortin-like kinase 1 (Dclk1), a microtubule-associated kinase, marks the fifth lineage of intestinal epithelial cells called tuft cells that function as tumor stem cells in Apc mutant models of colon cancer. In order ...
A late-surviving apatemyid (Mammalia: Apatotheria) from the latest Oligocene of Florida, USA
(2015-12-17)
A new species of Apatemyidae, Sinclairella simplicidens, is based on four isolated teeth that were screenwashed from fissure fillings at the late Oligocene Buda locality, Alachua County, Florida. Compared to its only ...
Hexavalent Chromium Reduction under Fermentative Conditions with Lactate Stimulated Native Microbial Communities
(PLos One, 2013-12-23)
Microbial reduction of toxic hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) in-situ is a plausible bioremediation strategy in electron-acceptor limited environments. However, higher Cr(VI) may impose stress on syntrophic communities and ...
Undergraduate Conductors’ and Conducting Teachers’ Perceptions of Basic Conducting Efficacy
(Update: Applications of Research in Music Education, 2014-10-23)
The purpose of this study was to examine undergraduate conductors’ and conducting teachers’ perceptions about basic conducting efficacy. At the beginning and end of the semester, undergraduate students (N = 19) enrolled ...
