Ammonia oxidation is the first and rate-limiting step in nitrification and is dominated by two distinct groups of microorganisms in soil: ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA) and ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB). AOA are often more abundant than AOB and dominate activity in acid soils. The mechanism of ammonia oxidation under acidic conditions has...

Nerve damage during surgery is a common morbidity experienced by patients that leaves them with chronic pain and/or loss of function. Currently, no clinically approved imaging technique exists to enhance nerve visualization in the operating room. Fluorescence image-guided surgery has gained in popularity and clinical acceptance over the past decade...

Marine sponges are vital components of benthic and coral reef ecosystems, providing
shelter and nutrition for many organisms. In addition, sponges act as an essential carbon
and nutrient link between the pelagic and benthic environment by filtering large quantities
of seawater. Many sponge species harbor a diverse microbial community (including...

Perinatal growth restriction programs higher risk for chronic disease during adulthood
via morphological and physiological changes in organ systems. Perinatal growth
restriction is highly correlated with a decreased nephron number, altered renal function
and subsequent hypertension. We hypothesize that such renal maladaptations result in
altered pharmacologic patterns for life. Maternal...
The amino acid acridon-2-ylalanine (Acd) can be a valuable probe of protein conformational change because it is a
long lifetime, visible wavelength fluorophore that is small enough to be incorporated during ribosomal biosynthesis. Incorporation
of Acd into proteins expressed in E. coli requires efficient chemical synthesis to produce large quantities...

BACKGROUND:
AVI-7288 is a phosphorodiamidate morpholino oligomer with positive charges that targets the viral messenger RNA that encodes Marburg virus (MARV) nucleoprotein. Its safety in humans is undetermined.
METHODS:
We assessed the efficacy of AVI-7288 in a series of studies involving a lethal challenge with MARV in nonhuman primates. The...

First-year tree seedlings represent a particularly vulnerable life stage and successful seedling establishment is crucial for forest
regeneration. We investigated the extent to which Pinus ponderosa P. & C. Lawson populations from different climate zones
exhibit differential expression of functional traits that may facilitate their establishment. Seeds from two populations...
