Based on 3 generations transcriptome sequencing technology-PacBio SMRT single-molecule real-time method, supplemented with 2 generation a complete and accurate unigene library was constructed. After comparing closely related species, the cellulose synthase gene ( CesA )  4 ,  7 9  gene sequences of  Miscanthus lutarioriparius  were spliced named as  MlCesA4 Ml...

The action of iturin A on non-growing cells of Saccharomyces cerevisiae was tested. This antibiotic gave important modifications in the membrane permeability which permitted nucleotides, proteins, polysaccharides and lipids to escape from cells. The lipid content of cells was strongly disturbed; the level of phospholipids, essentially phosphatidylcholine, decreased while the level of fatty acid...

The textile industry is an important contributor to the growth of global economy. However, a huge quantity wastewater generated as by-product during manufacturing, which hinders ongoing development in terms environmental sustainability. Membrane distillation (MD), driven by thermal-induced vapor pressure difference, being considered emerging economically viable technology treat for water reuse....

The fluorescent dye rhodamine 123, which selectively accumulates in mitochondria based on the membrane potential, was used with flow cytometry to evaluate variations in activity of mitochondria isolated from plant tissues. In the presence of succinate and ATP, potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) tuber mitochondrial activity was affected by metabolic inhibitors and compounds that modify the membrane p...

Targeting of nuclear lamins to the inner nuclear envelope membrane requires a nuclear localization signal and CaaX motif-dependent posttranslational modifications, including isoprenylation and carboxyl methylation. These modifications, although necessary for membrane targeting, are not sufficient to mediate stable association with membranes. We show that two variants of lamin B3 (i.e., B3a and ...
