Reduction of PCN biosynthesis by NO in Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Pyocyanin (PCN), a virulence factor synthesized by Pseudomonas aeruginosa, plays an important role during clinical infections. There is no study of the effect of nitric oxide (NO) on PCN biosynthesis. Here, the effect of NO on PCN levels in Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain PAO1, a common reference strain, was tested. The results showed that the NO donor sodium nitroprusside (SNP) can significantly...

Team 11 monkeys Description 11 monkeys

The major purpose of our research is to study cooperative planning for multi-agent system in time-critical environment. The RoboCup simulator league is the most interesting target for our research. Each agent of the team 11monkeys is realized as an autonomous agent that has two sets of rules, namely state dependent rules and position specified rules. We call the former dynamic role and the latt...
