1. A glycerol teichoic acid has been extracted from cell walls of Bacillus stearothermophilus B65 and its structure examined. 2. Trichloroacetic acid-extractable teichoic acid accounted for 68% of the total cell-wall phosphorus and residual material could be hydrolysed to a mixture of products including those characteristic of glycerol teichoic acids. 3. The extracted polymer is composed of gly...

Nitrogen-fixing bacteria were isolated from the stems of wild and cultivated rice on a modified Rennie medium. Based on 16S ribosomal DNA (rDNA) sequences, the diazotrophic isolates were phylogenetically close to four genera: Herbaspirillum, Ideonella, Enterobacter, and Azospirillum. Phenotypic properties and signature sequences of 16S rDNA indicated that three isolates (B65, B501, and B512) be...

In the preceding companion article (Tyndale et al., 1994) we used the PCR to investigate the occurrence of 13 GABAA receptor subunit mRNAs in several cell lines, including those derived from brain (B65, B104, and NB41A3), cerebellum (C17), glia (C6), pituitary (AtT-20), adrenal medulla (PC12), and the endocrine pancreas (RINm5F and beta TC3). In the present study we used the whole-cell configur...

Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is a malignant disorder of B cell origin, with low incidence in Asian populations. In this study we investigated the HLA-class I A and B allele frequencies in 87 Iranian CLL patients and 64 healthy controls using sequence specific primer-polymerase chain reaction (SSP-PCR) technique. Our results showed increased frequencies of HLA-A11:01 (p=0.02) and HLA-B35:0...

Background: Accelerated intermittent theta-burst stimulation (aiTBS) using resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI)-based neuronavigation was recently cleared by the FDA for use in adults with depression. The objective of this study to gauge clinical utility fMRI-guided adolescents Methods: Three individuals (male, 16-17 years) underwent fMRI scanning prior treatment. Individu...

In Aplysia, mutually antagonistic ingestive and egestive behaviors are produced by the same multifunctional central pattern generator (CPG) circuit. Interestingly, higher-order inputs that activate the CPG do not directly specify whether the resulting motor program is ingestive or egestive because the slow dynamics of the network intervene. One input, the commandlike cerebral-buccal interneuron...

Syntactic knowledge is widely held to be partially innate, rather than learned. In a classic example, it is sometimes argued that children know the proper use of anaphoric one, although that knowledge could not have been learned from experience. Lidz et al. [Lidz, J., Waxman, S., & Freedman, J. (2003). What infants know about syntax but couldn't have learned: Experimental evidence for syntactic...

The way that immigrants integrate into recipient societies has been discussed for decades, mainly from the perspective of the social sciences. Uruguay, as other American countries, received diffferent waves of European immigrants, although the details of the process of assimilation, when it did occur, are unclear. In this study we used genetic markers to understand the process experienced by th...

Mortality rates for cardiovascular diseases (CVD) have declined steadily over the past few decades in high-income countries. This decline has by far disproportionately favored thosewith higher income, educational attainment, and social support or those who are members of ethnic majority groups [1–7]. Few studies have examined the cumulative effects of multiple social risk factors on CVD mortali...
