Poly[(R)-3-hydroxyalkanoic acids] [poly(HAs)] are a class of bacterial storage compounds that are synthesized during unbalanced growth by many Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria. Poly(HAs) are deposited intracellularly in the form of inclusions bodies (granules) to levels up to 90% of the cellular dry weight (Jendrossek, 2001; Jendrossek et al., 1996; Steinbüchel and Hein, 2001). In the l...

We establish an unexpected relation among the Weil-Petersson metric, the generalized Hodge metrics and the BCOV torsion. Using this relation, we prove that certain kind of moduli spaces of polarized Calabi-Yau manifolds do not admit complete subvarieties. That is, there is no complete smooth family for certain class of polarized Calabi-Yau manifolds. We also give an estimate of the complex Hess...

One hundred and twenty-one strains of ballistoconidiogenous yeasts were isolated from plant materials collected in Cuc Phuong National Park of Ninh Binh Province, Vietnam. Eighty-five strains selected for the morphology of their ballistoconidia and colony appearances were assigned to four genera: Bullera (39 strains), Kockovaella (5 strains), Sporobolomyces (39 strains) and Tilletiopsis (2 stra...

We characterize, in terms of elementary properties, the abelian monoids which are direct limits of finite direct sums of monoids of the form ðZ=nZÞ t f0g (where 0 is a new zero element), for positive integers n. The key properties are the Riesz refinement property and the requirement that each element x has finite order, that is, ðnþ 1Þx 1⁄4 x for some positive integer n. Such monoids are neces...

The ecology of microbial populations in water and wastewater environments has been extensively studied (Barcina et al., 1997; Scott et al., 2002; Sinton et al., 1994). Commonly, the reduction of fecal indicator bacteria is attributed to biotic and non-biotic factors such as predation, nutrient scarcity, temperature, osmotic stress and visible light. But these factors could affect these bacteria...

A dipeptide conjugate of jasmonic acid, [N-( )-jasmonoyl]-Lalanyl -L-leucine, was prepared and its biological activities were investigated. The conjugate was active in the emission of linalool from rice leaves, while [N-( )-jasmonoyl]-D-alanyl-L-leucine was not. Neither conjugate was active in the production of sakuranetin. This is the first report of a biologically active dipeptide conjugate o...

Human hepatitis B virus (HBV), the prototype of hepadnavirus family is a small-enveloped virus that replicates by reverse transcription within hepatocytes of an infected individual (Loeb and Ganem, 1993; Nassal and Schaller, 1993). It causes a variety of acute and chronic liver diseases including hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and cirrhosis in human and in other higher primates such as chimpanz...
