Comparative hydrodynamics of bacterial polymorphism.

Sequencing and comparative analysis of flagellin genes fliA and fliB in bovine Clostridium chauvoei isolates

Background: Clostridium chauvoei is the etiological agent of blackleg as an endogenous infection in cattle.  Flagella have been known to play a critical role in the protective immunity of animals to clostridial infections. C.chauvoei has two copies of fliC gene, namely fliA and fliB. OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was the determination and nucleotide sequence analysis of both copies of fliC ...

Comparative Study of L-asparaginase Activity in Different Bacterial Species

Comparative Study of Patentability of Drug Polymorphism in Iran and the USA

Drug polymorphs are defined as a different arrangement of the same active compounds in crystalline form, which can potentially affect its therapeutic activity by changing the dissolution profile of drug upon administration. Discovery of new polymorphs therefore can provide added value for a previously marketed drug, due to the new advantages provided by the novel polymorph. Therefore, there is ...

Methods to detect and analyze copy number variations at the genome-wide and locus-specific levels.

Copy number variations (CNVs) have effects on phenotypes by altering transcription levels of genes and may have major impacts on protein sequence, structure and function. Therefore, CNV screening and analysis focused on the identification of CNV-genetic disease relations are actively progressing. CNVs can be detected and analyzed by various methodologies at the genome-wide and locus-specific le...

Comparative study on bacterial flora of the intestine in Persian sturgeon (Acipenser persicus) fingerlings reared in fiberglass tanks and earthen ponds

In this study, random sampling conducted and 90 individuals of Persian sturgeon having 3-5g weight, collected by trawling in 3 earthen ponds and 15 individuals having 10-20g weight, collected by small net in 3 fiberglass Vans. After recording of biometrical characteristics, the intestine and rearing water were cultured on TSA medium. Gram staining and complementary tests were conducted. In orde...
