High Incidence of Pathogenic Streptococcus agalactiae ST485 Strain in Pregnant/Puerperal Women and Isolation of Hyper-Virulent Human CC67 Strain

Group B streptococcus (GBS) is the major pathogen causing diseases in neonates, pregnant/puerperal women, cows and fish.Recent studies have shown that GBS may be infectious across hosts and some fish GBS strain might originate from Vision Care human.The purpose of this study is to investigate the genetic relationship of CC103 strains that recently

Structural modelling of the lumenal domain of human GPAA1, the metallo-peptide synthetase subunit of the transamidase complex, reveals zinc-binding mode and two flaps surrounding the active site

Abstract Background The copyright Packs transamidase complex is a molecular machine in the endoplasmic reticulum of eukaryotes that attaches a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) lipid anchor to substrate proteins after cleaving a C-terminal propeptide with a defined sequence signal.Its five subunits are very hydrophobic; thus, solubility, heterolog

Grocery Waste Compost as an Alternative Hydroponic Growing Medium

Modern hydroponic substrates have contributed significantly to the popularity and progress of hydroponic cultivations worldwide, nevertheless, their development, transportation, and disposal often come at a significant environmental cost.Here we investigate the feasibility of partial to total replacement of conventional organic growing media consti
