Although in Bacillus thuringiensis the cry genes coding for the insecticidal crystal proteins are plasmid-borne and are usually associated with mobile genetic elements, several aspects related to their genomic organization, diversification, and transmission remain to be elucidated. Plasmids of B. thuringiensis and other members of the Bacillus cereus group (n = 364) deposited in GenBank were sc...

In this paper we investigate the notion of developing generic aspects in Hyper/J and compare it with other approaches.

In this paper we first present two tagging mechanisms; the SCISM and IA-64; thereafter we describe the mapping of IA-64 ISA to a SCISM configuration without changing or reassigning the IA-64 instructions to preserve the original architectural properties. Under this limiting SCISM scenario, opcode reassignment will improve even more the SCISM performance, it is shown that SCISM tagging will sign...

bacillus spp. are gram-positive spore-forming bacteria used commercially as probiotics in the larviculture of fish. bacillus spp. can act positively on cultured organisms by enhancing their survival and growth, stimulating their digestive and immune systems, and improving water quality. in this present study, grass carp larvae were fed on artemia urmiana, artemia fransiscana and artemia parthen...

In vitro antimicrobial and antibiofilm forming activities of Origanum munzurense extract were investigated against some gram-positive bacteria yeast strains. Liquid microdilution method microplate used for activities, respectively. Minimal inhibitory concentration values found to be 2 mg/ml Enterococcus faecalis ATCC 29212, 64 Listeria monocytogenes RSKK 02028, L. 472, Bacillus cereus NRRL 569 ...

A recombinant 64 kD protein of Mycobacterium bovis bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) (antigen A), which amounted to approximately 2% of an E. coli lysate, was tested for its capacity to stimulate human T4 clones reactive to mycobacterial proteins. Two out of four crossreactive clones, established from a patient with tuberculoid leprosy, which could be stimulated by protein preparations of M. lepra...

Alternaria leaf blight is a much greater threat to muskmelons than watermelons. The disease is caused by a fungus (Alternaria cucumerina) that can rapidly defoliate plants, causing reductions in bulk yield. Melons on defoliated vines ripen prematurely and result in lower quality fruit compared to melons produced on healthy vines. Yield losses greater than 50% will occur in situations where the ...
