How bacteria maintain location and number of flagella?

Location of epitopes on Campylobacter jejuni flagella.

Flagella were isolated from strains of Campylobacter jejuni belonging to different heat-labile serogroups and from a strain of Campylobacter fetus, and sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis showed that the flagellin molecular weights (Mr) were approximately 62,000. The flagellins were cleaved by hydrolysis with cyanogen bromide, and sodium dodecyl sulfate-urea peptide gel el...

How to Maintain Pregnancy

On some days, “how to maintain pregnancy” seems an elusive goal. In some cases, by the time practitioners recognize that a mare is demonstrating signs of preterm birth, any assistance we can provide is insufficient to allow delivery of a vigorous and healthy foal. Thus, a large component of how to maintain pregnancy is determining when to intervene. Bosh et al (2009) described reproductive perf...

Number of births to maintain competence.

OPTIMUM SELECTION OF NUMBER AND LOCATION OF GEOTECHNICAL BOREHOLES BASED ON SOIL RESISTANCE

Digging of geotechnical boreholes and soil resistance tests are time-consuming and expensive activities. Therefore selection of optimum number and suitable location of boreholes can reduce cost of their drilling and soil resistance tests. In this research, a model which is consisting of geo statistics model as an estimator and an optimized model is selected. The kriging calculates the variance ...

Recent advances in understanding how rod-like bacteria stably maintain their cell shapes

Cell shape and cell volume are important for many bacterial functions. In recent years, we have seen a range of experimental and theoretical work that led to a better understanding of the determinants of cell shape and size. The roles of different molecular machineries for cell-wall expansion have been detailed and partially redefined, mechanical forces have been shown to influence cell shape, ...
