In this study, we report the first completely annotated genome sequence of the Russian-origin Bifidobacterium longum subsp. longum strain GT15. We discovered 35 unique genes (UGs) which were detected from only the B. longum GT15 genome and were absent from other B. longum strain genomes (not of Russian origin).

Physiologic values obtained from 10 stone sheep (Ovis dalli stonei) were reported, providing a start in establishing base line values for the species. The influence of excitability, diet, and stress of the sheep at sampling upon certain values was recognized.

  Culture is an extremely complex concept. Translating cultural elements is a demanding task due to the fact that these elements comprise specific meanings and implications belonging exclusively to the lan-guage and culture from which they have emerged. Regarding this point, the present article investigated the strategies employed for translating culture-specific items (CSIs) in an English nov...

Here, we present the complete genome sequence of Ureaplasma parvum serovar 3, clinical strain SV3F4, isolated from a Japanese patient with a history of an infectious abortion.

of building cultural centers in all communities and with any kind of attitude has always been one of the designers’ issues. when we use the term in ordinary daily conversation, we often think of culture as an equivalent to the “higher things of the mind”- art, literature, music and painting. according to sociologists, the concept of culture includes such activities, but also far more. culture c...
