On the basis of findings from developmental biology, some researchers have argued that evolutionary theory needs to be significantly updated. Advocates such a “developmental update” have, among other things, suggested we need re-conceptualize units selection, should expand our view inheritance include environmental as well genetic and epigenetic factors, think organisms their environment involv...

abstract objective: the aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of antibiotic-loaded bone cement in controlling local infection and in regard to its physical characteristics, elastic modulus, and tensile strength in-vitro. methods: acrylic bone cement, based on polymethylmethacrylate (pmma) was mixed with the powder form of three antibiotics, i.e., gentamicin, tobramycin, and cefuroxime ...

The space environment is a very special condition under which many organisms change many features. Escherichia coli is employed widely as a prokaryotic model organism in the fields of biotechnology and microbiology. Here, we present the draft genome sequence of E. coli strain LCT-EC59 exposed to space conditions.

Larry’s research focuses on biocatalysis and biodegradation. Laboratory studies are centered on microbial catabolic enzymes; complementary informatics projects revolve around the University of Minnesota Biocatalysis/Biodegradation Database, http://umbbd.ahc.umn.edu/ index.html. Industrial microbiology exploits the ecological adaptations that microorganisms have developed to communicate with and...
