Estimates of nuclear genome size for 9 Selaginella species were obtained using flow cytometry, and measurements for 7 of these species are reported for the first time. Estimates range from 0.086 to 0.112 pg per holoploid genome (84-110 Mb). The data presented here agree with the previously published flow cytometric results for S. moellendorffii. Within the 9 species sampled here, chromosome num...

Genome size (C-value) was measured in four species of Adriatic seagrasses with interphase-peak DNA image cytometry. The estimated 2C-value was 1.5 pg DNA for Zostera noltii (2n = 12), 1.2 pg for Zostera marina (2n = 12), 1.1 pg for Cymodocea nodosa (2n = 28) and 6.2 pg for Posidonia oceanica, using Pisum sativum (2C-value = 8.84 pg) as the calibration standard. Seagrass leaves were fixed in 4% ...

The quotation above (http://www.tufts.edu/med/apua /Practitioners/ABRcontrol.html) has led to the commonly held view that all bacteria will eventually become resistant to any antibiotic, given enough time and exposure. However, not all bacteria develop resistance to antibiotics at the same rate (and perhaps some species of bacteria may never develop resistance to certain antibiotics). And some ...
