Poster Session: Metabolism and Nutrition

desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS), we found the chicken heterophils teemed with avian beta defensin 2 (AvBD2) isoform. The heterophils play a crucial role in innate immunity defending against microbial pathogens. Because heterophils undergo activation through their membrane bound “Toll-like receptors (TLR)”that recognize “pathogen associated molecules,” we wa...

Poster Session: Physiology, Endocrinology, and Reproduction

post inoculation. Across all isolates there was a linear improvement in performance and decrease in coccidiosis lesions. Within all categories there were not significant differences between the NMI and N125 except for E. acervulina lesion scores (NMI 0.0 and N125 0.4). All other treatments and categories were significantly different. Feed conversions were NMU 1.447, NMI 2.594, N36 1.956, N72 1....

Physiology and nutrition of Lampropedia hyalina.

A detailed study of the physiology and nutrition of Lampropedia hyalina revealed that it is an aerobic, cytochrome-containing chemoheterotroph which is limited in its energy sources to a few intermediates (and close derivatives) of the Krebs cycle. Reducing compounds at low levels are potent growth inhibitors. The microbe has no photosynthetic ability (despite its previous taxonomic position wi...
