L-Pyroglutamate (PGA) is naturally occurring from L-glutamate solution with accelerated formation rate under high temperature and low pH. Even though PGA has been identified as a neurotoxic agent on brain cells, the effect of PGA on the growth of microorganisms is rarely known. Here various kinds of microorganisms differing in their optimal growth temperature, pH, phylogeny, and isolated biotop...

In a biogeographical context, the term Macaronesia broadly embraces the North Atlantic archipelagos of the Azores, Madeira, Selvagens, the Canary Islands, and Cape Verde. The peculiar arid climatic conditions in some of these places have led to the development of marine salt exploitations, which can be counted among the hypersaline habitats of the brine shrimp Artemia (Branchiopoda, Anostraca)....

We participate in the two event extraction tasks of BioNLP 2016 Shared Task: binary relation extraction of SeeDev task and localization relations extraction of Bacteria Biotope task. Convolutional neural network (CNN) is employed to model the sentences by convolution and maxpooling operation from raw input with word embedding. Then, full connected neural network is used to learn senior and sign...

Experiments were carried out to analyze the biological characteristics of two sympatric isolates of Schistosoma mansoni derived from humans and murines in a low endemic transmission area (Sumidouro county, state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil). Sympatric reared-laboratory Biomphalaria glabrata and C3H/He mice were used as experimental hosts. Parameters assessed comprised: precercarial period, infect...

Introduced organisms are seen as one of the greatest threats to resource sustainability worldwide, and aquatic macroinvertebrates regarded good indicators health water resources. To explore these two perspectives, responses macroinvertebrate faunas native introduced fishes in three headwater tributaries Keiskamma River system, South Africa, were examined by comparing potential indicator communi...

The strains of Drouetiella species (Cyanobacteria, Oculatellaceae) from a terrestrial biotope were isolated and characterized using an integrative approach including molecular, morphological, ecological information. specimens collected the Arctic Subarctic areas European Russia. possess morphological plasticity can be confused with similar Oculatellaceae or Leptolyngbyaceae. 16S rRNA gene phylo...

Bacteriophage ecology has raised an increasing attention over the past few years, thanks to improvement and contributions of microscopy, comparative genomics viral metagenomics methods. Fermented foods host dense diverse microbial communities and, therefore, represent ideal biotope for bacteriophages. If their occurrence in such environments been demonstrated decades ago, data highlighting impa...
