Predatory prokaryotes: an emerging research opportunity.
Predatory prokaryotes have evolved a unique strategy of obtaining energy and biosynthetic materials from their surroundings: acquiring them from other living bacterial cells. These types of microbes have been found in a diverse variety of environments, and may play an important role in modulating microbial population structure and dynamics, as has been hypothesized for marine viruses and possib...
متن کاملPredatory prokaryotes: predation and primary consumption evolved in bacteria.
Two kinds of predatory bacteria have been observed and characterized by light and electron microscopy in samples from freshwater sulfurous lakes in northeastern Spain. The first bacterium, named Vampirococcus, is Gram-negative and ovoidal (0.6 micrometer wide). An anaerobic epibiont, it adheres to the surface of phototrophic bacteria (Chromatium spp.) by specific attachment structures and, as...
متن کاملProtecting against Predatory Practices
A major reason for security professionals not seeming able to protect fully against the rapidly changing threat environment and sophisticated attacks is that they often don’t have available the necessary application security data for detecting and responding to such increasingly stealthy attacks. Furthermore, easily generated application security data are generally not reported timely or accura...
متن کاملProtecting against Predatory Practices
Software security represents a major concern as cyber attacks continue to grow in number and sophistication. One security-weakening factor is related to the standardized software ecosystem that facilitates the spread of malware in systems that share common vulnerabilities. In this overview article, the main concepts associated with diversity and software redundancy are described in the perspect...
متن کاملWar Injuries of the Eye
In these days of war, both from the battle areas and from accidents in war industries, injuries to the eye are common. Many of these injuries are perforating in nature ; a foreign body has entered some part of the globe and may be lodged inside or outside the eyeball. In war injuries, the foreign bodies include splinters from glass, bombs, shells, handgrenades and booby-traps, whereas in indust...
