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.

A wide range of aquatic animal species are cultured for human consumption, the fashion industry, research purposes or re-stocking natural populations. Each host species may be colonised by bacterial saprophytes or infected with pathogens that have specific growth requirements encompassing temperature, salinity, trace elements or ions. To ensure successful culture and identification of potential...

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.

The ability of DNA binding transcription factors to access cis-acting promoter elements is critical for transcriptional responses. We demonstrate that rapid transcriptional autoactivation by the Amt1 Cu metalloregulatory transcription factor from the opportunistic pathogenic yeast Candida glabrata is dependent on rapid metal-induced DNA binding to a single metal response element (MRE). In vivo ...
