Dove ROLAND THAXTER ’ S Legacy and the Origins of Multicellular Development Dale
R OLAND THAXTER published a bombshell in December, 1892. He reported that Chondromyces crocatus, before then considered an imperfect fungus because of its complex fruiting bodv, was actually a bacterium (Figure 1). THAXTER had discovered the unicellular vegetative stage of C. crocatus; the cells he found were relatively short and they divided by binary fission. C. crocatus was, he concluded...
متن کاملSusceptibility of Bacterium actinomycetem comitans to 45 antibiotics.
The minimal inhibitory concentrations of 45 antimicrobial agents were determined for 14 strains of Bacterium actinomycetem comitans (Actinobacillus actinomycetem-comitans). All the strains showed good susceptibility to tetracyclines and chloramphenicol, but not to lincomycins. Some strains were clearly resistant to penicillins, cephalosporins, and nitroimidazoles. The lowest minimum inhibitory ...
متن کاملBreaking symmetry in myxobacteria
Multicellular animals and plants develop from genetically equivalent cells, yet neighboring cells often adopt different fates. Some well-studied examples are the formation of sensory bristles from a sheet of uniform neuroectodermal cells in Drosophila, and the formation of hair or feathers in the uniform skin ectoderm of vertebrates. This breaking of symmetry within groups of equivalent cells d...
متن کاملCoculture of hepatocytes with islets.
Bioartificial liver support (BAL) systems are potential new therapeutic approaches for use as liver support to prevent nutrient deficiencies, hypoxia, or ischemia before the acquisition of donated organs. To investigate whether islets are beneficial for hepatocyte function and survival, we cocultured BALB/c mouse islets with C57BL/6J hepatocytes to assess hepatocyte viability, function, and apo...
متن کاملLingering Puzzles about Myxobacteria
T he myxobacteria are social and capable of constructing intricate macroscopic structures called fruiting bodies. First recognized as bacteria in 1892 by the cryptogamic botanist Roland Thaxter, these exotic anomalies have proved challenging to microbiologists. Even so, we now know a great deal about the nutrition, life cycle, growth physiology, intermediary metabolism, structural chemistry, ge...
