Free-living anaerobic ciliates are of considerable interest from an ecological and an evolutionary standpoint.Extraordinary tentacle-bearing predatory lineages have evolved independently several times within the phylum Ciliophora, including two rarely encountered anaerobic litostomatean genera, Legendrea and Dactylochlamys.In this study, we signifi
Marsupial sex chromosomes break the rule that recombination during first meiotic prophase is necessary to ensure reductional segregation during first meiotic division.It is widely accepted that in marsupials X and Y chromosomes do not share homologous regions, and during male first meiotic prophase the synaptonemal complex is absent between them.Al
Chromobacterium violaceum, a facultative anaerobic proteobacterium, is particularly isolated from water and soil in tropical areas and has been implicated in few infections like septicemia, visceral abscesses, skin Tamper-Evident Labels and soft tissue infections, meningitis and diarrhea.But urinary tract infection caused by it is very rare.Limited
Phytohormones play a critical role in mediating plant stress response.They employ a variety of proteins for coordinating such processes.In Arabidopsis thaliana, some members of a Cys-rich protein family known as C1-clan proteins were involved in stress response, but the actual function of the protein family is largely unknown.We studied At5g17960,
