Cyanobacterial blooms are a growing concern in the Pacific Northwest because of their
threat to watershed health and drinking water supplies. Bacteriophages are pathogens of
bacteria and may contribute to the growth and decline of seasonal blooms. Bacteriophage

Bacteriophage S-CRM01 has been isolated from a freshwater strain of Synechococcus and shown to
be present in the upper Klamath River valley in northern California and Oregon. The genome of this
lytic T4-like phage has a 178,563 bp circular genetic map with 297 predicted protein-coding genes
and 33 tRNA genes...

Natural gas extraction, often referred to as “fracking,” has increased rapidly in the U.S. in recent years. To address potential health impacts, passive air samplers were deployed in a rural community heavily affected by the natural gas boom. Samplers were analyzed for 62 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Results were grouped...

After publication the authors discovered a mistake in the air concentration calculations. PAH air concentrations reported in the original article are therefore incorrect. The calculation error resulted from using incorrect units of the ideal gas constant, and improper cell linkages in the spreadsheet used to adjust air concentrations for sampling...
Fungal hyphae are among the most highly polarized cells. Hyphal polarized growth is supported by tip-directed transport of secretory vesicles, which accumulate temporarily in a stratified manner in an apical vesicle cluster, the Spitzenkörper. The exocyst complex is required for tethering of secretory vesicles to the apical plasma membrane. We...
Mutations in the metallo-protein Cu/Zn-superoxide dismutase (SOD1) cause amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) in humans and an
expression level-dependent phenotype in transgenic rodents. We show that oral treatment with the therapeutic agent diacetyl-bis(4-methylthiosemicarbazonato)copper[superscript II] [Cu[superscript II](atsm)] increased the concentration of mutant SOD1 (SOD1G37R) in ALS model mice, but paradoxically improved locomotor...
