Microbiome: Paediatricians’ perspective
Millions of microorganisms inhabit the human body and affect its homeostasis in multiple ways. Alterations in this microbial community have implications for the health and survival of the human hosts. It is believed that these microorganisms should be included as part of the human genome because of their influence on human physiology hence the term "microbiome" is commonly used to refer to thes...
متن کاملArboreal Seed Removal and Insect Damage in Three California Oaks
We investigated arboreal removal and insect damage to acorns in an undisturbed oak woodland in central coastal California. Arboreal seed removal was determined for four to eight individual Quercus lobata trees over a period of 14 years by comparing visual estimates of the acorn crop with the number of acorns caught in seed traps. Insect damage was assessed by sampling acorns from trees of all t...
متن کاملTiming of Flowering and Seed Production in Three California Oaks
We examined the importance of pollen limitation to variation in acorn production of three species of California oaks (Quercus lobata, Q. douglasii, and Q. agrifolia) by testing for relationships between phenology and acorn production. Within years, trees flowering closer to the mean flowering date of the population produced significantly more acorns in two of the species. Assuming that more pol...
متن کاملA New Perspective on Microbiome and Resource Management in Wastewater Systems
Wastewater treatment systems are predominantly based on biological processes that in principle derive energy from biochemical reactions involving substrate degradation available in the raw waste. The most commonly used technologies are suspended medium (activated sludge process), and attached growth or biofilm based technologies (tricking filters). In these processes, the key players responsibl...
متن کاملSoft matter perspective on protein crystal assembly.
Crystallography may be the gold standard of protein structure determination, but obtaining the necessary high-quality crystals is also in some ways akin to prospecting for the precious metal. The tools and models developed in soft matter physics to understand colloidal assembly offer some insights into the problem of crystallizing proteins. This topical review describes the various analogies th...
