A new species of Streptomyces is described for which the name Streptomyces aculeolatus is proposed. The organism produces new antibiotics SF2415A1, A2, A3, B1, B2 and B3 active against Gram-positive bacteria. Empirical molecular formulae of the antibiotics SF2415A1, A2, A3, B1, B2 and B3 were determined to be C26H31N2O5Cl, C26H30N2O5, C26H30N2O5Cl2, C26H33O5Cl, C26H32O5 and C26H32O5Cl2, respect...

The toric ideals of 3 × 3 transportation polytopes Trc are quadratically generated. The only exception is the Birkhoff polytope B3. If Trc is not a multiple of B3, these ideals even have square-free quadratic initial ideals. This class contains all smooth 3 × 3 transportation polytopes.

Nuclear lamina and matrices were prepared from sperm pronuclei assembled in Xenopus egg extracts using a fractionation and extraction procedure. Indirect immunofluorescence revealed that while chromatin was efficiently removed from nuclei during the extraction procedure, the distribution of lamins was unaffected. Consistent with this data, the amount of lamin B3, determined by immunoblotting, w...

We prove that the free Burnside Group B(3; 2) has order 27 and is isomorphic to ha; b j a3; b3(ab)3; (b 1a)3i. The technique of our proof is also used to show that ha; bja3; b3; a2(ba)nb2i is the semidirect product Cn2+n+1o C3.

The b3-integrin family consists of aIIbb3 (also known as glycoprotein IIb/IIIa) and avb3. aIIbb3 is found on platelets and megakaryocytes and has an essential role in hemostasis. avb3 has a broader distribution, and it functions in angiogenesis, neointimal formation after vascular injury, and leukocyte trafficking. There are important interactions between thrombin and b32integrins relative to b...

K562 cells were stably transfected with cDNAs encoding the band 3 found in Southeast Asian ovalocytosis (B3SAO, deletion of residues 400-408), band 3 with a transport-inactivating E681Q point mutation (B3EQ), or normal band 3 (B3). Flow cytometric analysis and quantitative immunoblotting revealed that B3SAO expressed alone was translocated to the plasma membrane, at levels similar to B3 or B3EQ...

The stable boron isotope ratio (B/B) in marine carbonates is used as a paleo-pH recorder and is one of the most promising paleo-carbonate chemistry proxies. Understanding the thermodynamic basis of the proxy is of fundamental importance, including knowledge on the equilibrium fractionation factor between dissolved boric acid, B(OH)3, and borate ion, B(OH)4 – ( B OH 3 B OH 4 , hereafter (B3–B4))...

BACKGROUND Histopathological B3 lesions after minimal invasive breast biopsy (VABB) are a particular challenge for the clinician, as there are currently no binding recommendations regarding the subsequent procedure. PURPOSE To analyze all B3 lesions, diagnosed at VABB and captured in the national central Swiss MIBB database and to provide a data basis for further management in this subgroup o...

L-amino acid oxidase (LAAO) is attracting more attentions due to its broad and important biological functions. Recently, an LAAO-producing marine microorganism (strain B3) was isolated from the intertidal zone of Dinghai sea area, China. Physiological, biochemical, and molecular identifications together with phylogenetic analysis congruously suggested that it belonged to the genus Pseudoalterom...
