Fifty-nine Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato culture isolates collected from northeastern China were characterized by 5S-23S rRNA intergenic spacer restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis and reactivity with monoclonal antibodies (MAbs). Among 59 culture isolates, 30 (50.8%) were Borrelia garinii and 17 (28.8%) were Borrelia afzelii, 2 were mixtures composed of B. garinii with RF...

When shaken in a glucose-albumin-cAMP medium, dissociated aggregative cells formed small clumps, in which both prespore and prestalk cells differentiated in essentially the same proportions as in a slug. Immunocytochemical staining of sections of such clumps revealed that the two types of cells showed no particular pattern of distribution, unlike the two-zoned prestalk-prespore pattern as obser...

We suggested the pulmonary tuberculosis may present as the crazy-paving pattern on the HRCT in adult patients.

Euglena is one of the photosensitive microorganisms. It has been known that culture of Euglena forms macroscopic convection pattern, which is called " bioconvection, " with strong light illumination from the bottom. In this presentation, I would like to introduce to the bioconvection pattern of Euglena and to show how to control it.
