Glucose catabolism in eight Xanthomonas species has been comparatively examined by means of the radiorespirometric method. The basic mechanisms for the respective xanthomonads closely resembled each other. The Entner-Doudoroff pathway, in conjunction with the tricarboxylic acid cycle pathway, was the predominant mechanism for glucose catabolism. A small portion (8 to 16%) of substrate glucose w...

Staphylococcus aureus protein A is considered a vital virulence element determinant of its pathogenicity. Its sequence diversity aids in staphylococcal typing and phylogeny. The present study aimed to the genotyping method for S. isolates by applying Spa (variable number tandem repeat) their role phylogenic study. Twenty were achieved from various clinical subjected complete identification diag...

One of the most important species of the Bartonella genus is B. henselae that causes a zoonotic infection, cat scratch disease (CSD). The main source of the bacteria is cat and the carrier is Ctenocephalides felis flea. One hundred and forty nail and saliva samples were collected from 70 domestic cats. Positive samples for B. henselae were characterized by po...

Seryl-tRNA synthetases (SerRS) are essential enzymes responsible for aminoacylation of cognate transfer-RNAs (tRNAs) with serine, which is then incorporated into the proteins being synthesized on the ribosome. Although tRNA synthetases are usually a very conserved class of enzymes, phylogenic analyses revealed the existence of two distinct types of serine-charging enzymes; a standard or bacteri...

L. VELKOVA-JORDANOSKA, 2006. Molecular-biological analysis of the parasite Capillaria sp. of the liver of barbel (Barbus meridionalis petenyi Heck.) in Lake Ohrid. Bulg. J. Agric. Sci.,12: 315-319 The analysis of parasites molecular variation has important implications on the taxonomy, phylogenic and population genetics studies. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) can have significant advantages ov...

Phylotranscriptomics is the study of phylogenetic relationships among taxa based on their DNA sequences derived from transcriptomes. Because relatively low cost transcriptome sequencing compared with genome and fact that phylotranscriptomics almost as reliable phylogenomics, phylotranscriptomic analysis has recently emerged preferred method for studying evolutionary biology. However, it challen...
