Agrobacterium tumefaciens and Rhodococcus fascians are plant pathogenic bacteria that can induce crown and leafy galls on plants, respectively. Infection by these bacteria results in disfigured, unsellable plants, leading to significant economic losses to the nursery industry. A. tumefaciens and R. fascians are capable of infecting a broad range of...
The discovery of novel compounds with antibacterial properties continues to be critically important.3 One potential source of such compounds is the cryptic genome of fungi known to produce biologically active molecules. A kmt6 mutant of the cereal pathogen Fusarium graminearum was previously developed through a histone H3 lysine 27 methyltransferase...
Sampling with seine and trawl from May 1974 to November 1976 indicated that the species composition and distribution of fishes in Tillamook Bay through time is primarily related to the movements of marine species in and out of the estuary. Northern anchovy (Engraulis mordax), surf smelt (Hypomesus pretiosus), and shiner...
