Production of eicosanoids and other oxylipins by pathogenic eukaryotic microbes.
Oxylipins are oxygenated metabolites of fatty acids. Eicosanoids are a subset of oxylipins and include the prostaglandins and leukotrienes, which are potent regulators of host immune responses. Host cells are one source of eicosanoids and oxylipins during infection; however, another potential source of eicosanoids is the pathogen itself. A broad range of pathogenic fungi, protozoa, and helminth...
متن کاملNitrate Storage and Dissimilatory Nitrate Reduction by Eukaryotic Microbes
The microbial nitrogen cycle is one of the most complex and environmentally important element cycles on Earth and has long been thought to be mediated exclusively by prokaryotic microbes. Rather recently, it was discovered that certain eukaryotic microbes are able to store nitrate intracellularly and use it for dissimilatory nitrate reduction in the absence of oxygen. The paradigm shift that th...
متن کاملComparison of sample preparation methods for the quantitative analysis of eicosanoids and other oxylipins in plasma by means of LC-MS/MS.
Oxylipins are potent lipid mediators. For the evaluation of their biological roles, several LC-MS based methods have been developed. While these methods are similar, the described sample preparation procedures for the extraction of oxylipins differ considerably. In order to deduce the most appropriate method for the analysis of non-esterified oxylipins in human plasma, we evaluated the performa...
متن کاملPathogenic microbes of the oral environment.
Improved health owes less to advances in medical science than to changes in the external environment, and to a favorable trend in the standard of living. We are healthier than our ancestors not because of what happens when we are ill but because we do not become ill; and we do not become ill not because of specific protective therapy but because we live in a healthier environment. In its preocc...
متن کاملAlgal bioactive diversities against pathogenic microbes
Algae are described as heterogeneous group of organisms with considerable metabolic diversities. Currently, various bioactive compounds are discovered, isolated and used from different classes of algae to develop novel pharmaceuticals. Detectable substances such as, sterols and stanols, isoprenoide, terpenoids, steroid, phenolic compounds, fatty acids, acrylic acid and alkaloids in their extrac...
