Taxonogenomics combines phenotypic assays and genomic analysis as a means of characterizing novel strains. We used this strategy to study Marseille-P9898T strain, an aerobic, motile, Gram-negative, spore-forming, rod-shaped bacterium isolated from planarian Schmidtea mediterranea. is catalase-positive oxidase-negative. The major fatty acids detected are 12-methyl-tetradecanoic acid, 13-methyl-t...

The genus Corollospora, typified by the arenicolous fungus Corollospora maritima, consists of twenty-five cosmopolitan species that live and reproduce exclusively in marine environments. Species this are known to produce bioactive compounds can be potentially exploited as bioremediators oil spill contaminated beaches; hence their biotechnological importance. In paper, nine fungal strains isolat...

In eukaryotes, 3' untranslated regions (UTRs) play important roles in regulating posttranscriptional gene expression. The 3'UTR is defined by regulated cleavage/polyadenylation of the pre-mRNA. The advent of next-generation sequencing technology has now enabled us to identify these events on a genome-wide scale. In this study, we used poly(A)-position profiling by sequencing (3P-Seq) to capture...

A rapid and sensitive method using high performance liquid chromatography has been developed and validated for the simultaneous determination of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) in pharmaceutical formulations and human serum. Six NSAIDs including: naproxen sodium, diclofenac sodium, meloxicam, flurbiprofen, tiaprofenic and mefenamic acid were analyzed simultaneously in presence of...
