Microbial source tracking (MST) has become a focus of some recreational beach monitoring programs. Suspected sources of contamination include human sewage, agricultural runoff, and feces from wildlife and domestic animals, depending on beach location. Waterfowl have been suggested as a primary source of fecal contamination at many beaches, but techniques to “prove” contaminating microbes are of...

In this work, a recently developed numerical model, capable of solving the hydro- and morphodynamics cross-shore beach profile, is used to gain insight into relevant processes driving generation breaker bar. The bedload suspended sediment transport contributions are analysed separately. It has been shown that tends accumulate on onshore side undertow detachment point, at distance depends skewne...

The BEACH domain is highly conserved in a large family of eukaryotic proteins, and is crucial for their functions in vesicle trafficking, membrane dynamics and receptor signaling. However, it does not share any sequence homology with other proteins. Here we report the crystal structure at 2.9 A resolution of the BEACH domain of human neurobeachin. It shows that the BEACH domain has a new and un...

Abstract This study aimed to determine the characteristics of lactic acid bacterial isolates (LAB) from fresh laor worms. LAB isolation was carried out by using a multilevel dilution technique with 0.9% NaCl diluent then grown on MRS Agar media 1% CaCO 3 added and incubated at 37°C for 48 hours. research descriptive methods morphological characterization biochemical tests isolates. The total wo...

Information on the three previously described species of Halocoryza Alluaud is updated and a new species for the genus from Isla Carmen, Sea of Cortes, Baja California Sur, Mexico is described. Halocoryza whiteheadiana sp. n. was found at UV light on a beach of that island. This species does not fit the profile of the other three species, i.e., living on coralline beach sands, or in the Mangrov...
