On April 23, 2016, the Democratic Republic of the Congo's (DRC's) Ministry of Health declared a yellow fever outbreak. As of May 24, 2016, approximately 90% of suspected yellow fever cases (n = 459) and deaths (45) were reported in a single province, Kongo Central Province, that borders Angola, where a large yellow fever outbreak had begun in December 2015. Two yellow fever mass vaccination cam...

RNA synthesis by the Azofobacter vinelandii RNA polymerase is initiated with the incorporation of a ribonucleoside triphosphate to form the 5’ terminus of the chain. The RNA chains synthesized in vifro are preferentially initiated by purine ribonucleoside triphosphates. The ratio of guanosine triphosphate to ATP termini is determined by the DNA used to direct the synthesis of RNA. When denature...

Breeding of yellow-seeded rapeseed (Brassica napus) is preferred over black-seeded rapeseed for the desirable properties of the former. This study evaluated the metabolites and nutritive values of black-seeded rapeseed meal and yellow-seeded meal from the progeny of a B. napus-Sinapis alba hybrid. Yellow-seed meal presented higher protein (35.46% vs. 30.29%), higher sucrose (7.85% vs. 7.29%), l...

The correlation between the yellow colour of the skin and serum bilirubin concentration, reserve albumin concentration, and pH was investigated in 76 icteric neonates. Significant linear correlation existed between yellow colour of the skin and serum bilirubin concentration, reciprocal of the reserve albumin concentration, and the squared hydrogen ion concentration. Furthermore, the basic yello...

Throughour screening programofbioactive secondary metabolites of microbial origin, we have isolated a new azaphilone-type metabolite, diazaphilonic acid (Fig. 1). In this paper, we report the taxonomy of the producing strain, production, isolation, physico-chemical properties and biological activities of diazaphilonic acid. The mycological characteristics of the producing fungal strain PF1195 (...
