the bacterium oceanimonas sp. (o. sp.) gk1 is a member of the aeromonadaceae family and its genome represents several virulence genes involved in fish and human pathogenicity. in this original research study we aimed to identify and characterize the putative virulence factors and pathogenicity of this halotolerant marine bacterium using genome wide analysis. materials and methods: the genome da...

‎let $pa$ be a commutative banach algebra and $ex$ be a left banach $pa$-module‎. ‎we study the set‎ ‎$dec_{pa}(ex)$ of all elements in $pa$ which induce a decomposable multiplication operator on $ex$‎. ‎in the case $ex=pa$‎, ‎$dec_{pa}(pa)$ is the well-known apostol algebra of $pa$‎. ‎we show that $dec_{pa}(ex)$ is intimately related with the largest spectrally separable subalgebra of $pa$ and...

Yeso sika deer is one of the red deer species inhabited Hokkaido and exhibits seasonal molt twice a year. We investigated seasonal variations of morphological and biochemical characteristics of yeso sika deer skin as well as physical, chemical and morphological properties of its vegetable tanned leather. Morphologically, in spring and autumn, which is just active phase of molting cycle, yeso si...

objective: the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of exendin-4 (ex-4) on differentiation of insulin-producing cells (ipcs) from rat bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (rat-bm-mscs). materials and methods: in this experimental study, rat-bm-mscs were cultured and the cells characterized by flow cytometry analysis of cell surface markers. rat-bm-mscs were subsequently treated wi...

Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli O157: H7 is one of the most important causes of bloody diarrhea. This bacterium is able to make bloody diarrhea or Hemorrhagic Colitis (HC) through verotoxin or shigatoxin production, and in acute forms it may lead to Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome (HUS) or Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpurea (TTP). Contamination with E. coli O157:H7 usually happens after consumpt...
