Persistence of Memory and the Comma Bacillus
“T anyone should condescend to die of cholera at the bidding of so insignifi cant a creature as the comma bacillus,” wrote Marcel Proust, should not be astonishing to those in the know.

ther in the laboratory or in nature, are susceptible of modifications both in their form, in their properties of liquefying gelatine, and in their growth on potatoes. It seems to us that too much importance is attached to these differences. Workers in bacteriology are well aware otsuch differences being exhibited commonly in other microbes.

متن کاملPresenilins are required for the formation of comma- and S-shaped bodies during nephrogenesis.
Mammalian presenilins consist of two highly homologous proteins, PSEN1 and PSEN2, which share redundant activities in Notch processing and signaling. To bypass the early lethality of the Psen1- and Psen2-double (PSEN) null embryos, we used a human PSEN1 transgene to rescue the somite patterning defects in PSEN-null animals and to allow a determination of the function of presenilins in late embr...
متن کاملPulmonary atelectasis: a pathogenic perioperative entity.
Atelectasis occurs in the dependent parts of the lungs of most patients who are anesthetized. Development of atelectasis is associated with decreased lung compliance, impairment of oxygenation, increased pulmonary vascular resistance, and development of lung injury. The adverse effects of atelectasis persist into the postoperative period and can impact patient recovery. This review article focu...
متن کاملBacteria-shaped gymnoplasts (protoplasts) of Bacillus subtilis.
Addition of glucose to the medium in which Bacillus subtilis was grown lowered the pH and increased the amount of lysylphosphatidylglycerol relative to the phosphatidylglycerol content of the membrane fraction. This change in phospholipid composition was accompanied by changes in the shape and behavior of the gymnoplasts obtained by cell wall removal with lysozyme. These gymnoplasts appeared to...
