Background: Acyl-homoserine lactone (acyl-HSL) and alkyl quinolone (AQ) based quorum-sensing (QS) systems are important for Pseudomonas aeruginosa virulence and biofilm formation. The effect of QS on biofilm formation is influenced by various genetic and environmental factors. Here, we used a colony biofilm assay to study the effect of the central...
Urinary steroids have been studied during early and late pregnancy in
domestic horses or sporadic samples at various stages of pregnancy in wild
equidae. In our studies, urinary estrone sulfate (E1S) and pregnanediol
glucuronide (PdG) were monitored throughout pregnancy in six pony mares by
enzyme immunoassay (EIA). Both hormones were...
Wood is a major pool of organic carbon that is highly resistant to decay, owing largely to the presence of lignin. The only organisms capable of substantial lignin decay are white rot fungi in the Agaricomycetes, which also contains non–lignin-degrading brown rot and ectomycorrhizal species. Comparative analyses of 31 fungal...
