The role of a dprA ortholog (Cj0634) in Campylobacter jejuni transformation was phenotypically assessed using two strains. C. jejuni strain 11168 was naturally competent for transformation by chromosomal DNA, while efficiency decreased 100-fold in a Cj0634::aphA mutant, whereas C. jejuni strain 480 was not naturally competent. C. jejuni strain 480 but not 11168 could be electro-transformed by s...

(See below for a definition of the Sacks property.) A “definable” variant of this question has been answered in [Sh 480]: Every nontrivial Souslin forcing notion which has the Sacks property has an uncountable antichain. (A Souslin forcing notion is a forcing notion for which the set of conditions, the comparability relation and the incompatibility relation are all analytic subsets of the reals...

Alcohol ethoxylates (AEs) are a class of non-ionic surfactants widely used as detergents, emulsion stabilizers, foaming agents and wetting enhancers. These properties allow large industrial application as additives in the formulation of pesticides, pharmaceuticals, paints and cosmetics, as well as in mineral separation, biotechnology etc. Although there is no known toxic effect of AEs, their co...

A new mutation in the bone morphogenetic protein 15 (BMP15) gene (FecX allele) causing increased prolificacy in heterozygous (R+) and sterility in homozygous ewes has been recently described in Rasa Aragonesa, a low-prolificacy Mediterranean breed. The current study determined, first, the effect of this polymorphism on natural and eCG-induced ovulation rate (OR) and the effect of eCG dose on re...

Ginsenoside compound K (C-K) is an intestinal microbiota metabolite of ginsenoside Rb1, a major constituent in American ginseng. However, previous ginseng anti-cancer observations were largely focused on ginseng parent compounds but not metabolites, and anti-colorectal cancer studies on C-K were limited. This study investigated the anti-proliferative effects of C-K when compared to those of Rb1...
