متن کاملWhole organism biocatalysis.
The use of biocatalysts for the industrial synthesis of chemicals has been attracting much attention as an environment-friendly synthetic method. Microbial cells play a leading role in 'chemo-enzymatic synthesis' because of their great diversity. Several microbes with unique catalytic abilities have been found through intensive screening and put to practical use. Besides, advanced molecular bio...
متن کاملStudying immunity at the whole organism level.
Sir, Hauton and Smith (BioEssays 29:1138) make the strong assertion that a whole-organism phenomenological approach to investigating invertebrate immunity is flawed and sidesteps scientific rigour. Their major claimappears to be thatweshould not study immunity based on observations at the level of the whole organism, and should instead limit ourselves to measuring the levels, regulation and int...
متن کاملComplex Reproductive Traits and Whole-Organism Performance.
SYNOPSIS Arnold's 1983 path-analytic paradigm, considering "morphology, performance, and fitness," has been elaborated in several ways. For example, current versions recognize the level of "behavior" (including aspects of motivation) as a filter between performance abilities (only measurable if motivation is maximal) and fitness components. Performance abilities constrain behavior, but behavior...
متن کاملThe metabolic basis of whole-organism RNA and phosphorus content.
Understanding the storage, flux, and turnover of nutrients in organisms is important for quantifying contributions of biota to biogeochemical cycles. Here we present a model that predicts the storage of phosphorus-rich RNA and whole-body phosphorus content in eukaryotes based on the mass- and temperature-dependence of ATP production in mitochondria. Data from a broad assortment of eukaryotes su...
