Galactosamine in walls of slow-growing mycobacteria.
Galactosamine was found consistently as a minor component of the envelope of five species of slow-growing mycobacteria, including all the major human pathogens, but not three rapid-growing species. The amino sugar was a component of the arabinogalactan of the cell wall skeleton, and occurred at the level of about one residue per arabinogalactan chain. Its amino group was in the free, un-N-acety...
متن کاملTHE DEFORMATION BEHAVIOR OF AZ31 MAGNESIUM ALLOY AT ELEVATED TEMPERATURES
AZ31 magnesium alloy is considered as a promising alloy in various applications and industries. Furthermore, to design a proper hot working process (rolling, forging and extrusion), the assessment of hot working behaviour of the alloy is necessary. Accordingly, the hot deformation behaviour of AZ31 alloy was studied through hot compression testing method This was carried out in a wide range of ...
متن کاملDifferential Macrophage Response to Slow- and Fast-Growing Pathogenic Mycobacteria
Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) have recently been recognized as important species that cause disease even in immunocompetent individuals. The mechanisms that these species use to infect and persist inside macrophages are not well characterised. To gain insight concerning this process we used THP-1 macrophages infected with M. abscessus, M. fortuitum, M. celatum, and M. tuberculosis. Our resu...
متن کاملEffects of Different Pulsing Characteristics on Transformation Efficiency Via Electroporation
This study will focus on how the different characteristics of the applied pulse, including voltage, pulse length, frequency and multiple pulsing affect transformation efficiency of Top10 E-coli cells. It will be shown that transformation efficiency will be maximal at optimum settings different from that suggested by electroporator manufacturer. Experimental results will also verify pore formati...
متن کاملHigh-efficiency transformation of Rhizobium leguminosarum by electroporation.
Electrotransformation of Rhizobium leguminosarum was successfully carried out with a 15.1-kb plasmid, pMP154 (Cmr), containing a nodABC-lacZ fusion by electroporation. The maximum transformation efficiency, 10(8) transformants/microg of DNA, was achieved at a field strength of 14 kV/cm with a pulse of 7.3 ms (186 Omega). The number of transformants was found to increase with increasing cell den...
