Expulsion of Live Pathogenic Yeast by Macrophages

Phagocytic cells, such as neutrophils and macrophages, perform a critical role in protecting organisms from infection by engulfing and destroying invading microbes . Although some bacteria and fungi have evolved strategies to survive within a phagocyte after uptake, most of these pathogens must eventually kill the host cell if they are to escape and infect other tissues . However, we now demons...

Benzo[a]pyrene uptake by bacteria and yeast.

Moore, B. G. (Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Oak Ridge, Tenn.), and Arthur P. Harrison, Jr. Benzo[a]pyrene uptake by bacteria and yeast. J. Bacteriol. 90:989-1000. 1965.-Various Enterobacteriaceae and yeast incubated in a medium containing 25 mug/ml of H(3)-benzo[a]pyrene (30% serum in the medium dissolves the hydrocarbon) retain radioactivity after washings with fresh 30% serum-medium. This ra...

In Vitro Antidiabetic Activity of Ethanolic Leaf Extract of Bruguiera Cylindrica L. – Glucose Uptake by Yeast Cells Method

The current epidemic of diabetes indicates the need of proper and effective medications that are limited in their potency to have many side effects. Thus, introduction of alternative and complementary medicine is now in picture. The main objective of this study was to analyze the rate of glucose transport across cell membrane in yeast cells system in the presence of the ethanolic extract of Bru...

Live Cell Imaging in Fission Yeast.

Live cell imaging complements the array of biochemical and molecular genetic approaches to provide a comprehensive insight into functional dependencies and molecular interactions in fission yeast. Fluorescent proteins and vital dyes reveal dynamic changes in the spatial distribution of organelles and the proteome and how each alters in response to changes in environmental and genetic compositio...
