ABSTRACT Plasmids are extrachromosomal genetic elements, some of which disperse horizontally between different strains and species of bacteria.They are a major factor in the dissemination of virulence factors and antibiotic resistance.Understanding the ecology of plasmids has a notable anthropocentric value, and therefore, the interactions between
Plan for Developing a Cost-Effective and Sustainable Sago Machine to Increase Productivity and Ingenuity
This paper describes the creativity, design, and construction of a customized sago machine with a kneading pipe, filter, storage tank, and shredder.The main objective of this innovation is to maximize the conversion of Schoolwear sago stems into superior starch.Sago, an essential food staple in many areas, is typically processed by hand, which resu
Medical Malpractice Lawsuits Against Team Physicians in the National Football League Increased Between 1971 and 2020 But Remain Low Overall

Optogenetic manipulation of cyclic guanosine monophosphate to probe phosphodiesterase activities in megakaryocytes
Cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) signalling plays a fundamental role in many cell types, including platelets.cGMP has been implicated in platelet formation, but mechanistic detail about its spatio-temporal regulation in megakaryocytes (MKs) is lacking.Optogenetics bird food is a technique which allows spatio-temporal manipulation of molecular
Insight into durum wheat Lpx-B1: a small gene family coding for the lipoxygenase responsible for carotenoid bleaching in mature grains
Abstract Background The yellow colour of pasta products is one of the main criteria used by consumers to assess pasta quality.This character is due to the presence of carotenoid pigments in semolina.During pasta processing, oxidative degradation of carotenoid pigments occurs mainly due to lipoxygenase (LOX).In durum wheat (Triticum durum Desf.), tw
