introduction: biological effects of magnetic fields have been investigated by scientists for many years and a vast amount of research using different frequencies and intensities have been performed on humans and laboratory animals. the results of these studies, which have mostly been done by applying high frequencies, have shown that electromagnetic fields are effective on structure and functio...

In order to study the epidemiology of Salmonella Enteritidis outbreaks and determine the source of contamination so that a recurrence can be avoided, detailed characterization is necessary. Thus, the purpose of this study was to verify whether rep-PCR was able to discriminate among Salmonella Enteritidis isolates. Phage typing, detection of virulence genes and antimicrobial resistance testing w...

Most short interspersed elements (SINEs) in eukaryotic genomes originate from tRNA and have internal promoters for RNA polymerase III. The promoter contains two boxes (A and B) spaced by approximately 33 bp. We used oligonucleotide primers specific to these boxes to detect SINEs in the genomic DNA by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Appropriate DNA fragments were revealed by PCR in 30 out of 35...

A cDNA encoding rat homologue of the previously characterized mouse Sox6 was isolated by a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) cloning strategy. Comparison of this eDNA with homologous mouse, human and rainbow trout cDNA exhibited an overall amino acid sequence identity of 99.6, 89.3 and 76.3% respectively. The leucine-zipper and HMG-box motif were almost completely conserved between these homologu...

Altered response to growth rate changes in Kluyveromyces lactis versus Saccharomyces cerevisiae as demonstrated by heterologous expression of ribosomal protein 59 {CRY1) Figures 5 and 6 of this article were inadvertantly transposed. The legend to figure 5 should accompany figure 6 as labelled and the legend to figure 6 should accompany figure 5.

Blackleg outbreaks were noticed on three fields (about 100 ha total) in 2 consecutive years (2018, 2019) one of the main potato growing areas Serbia (Bačka region, Vojvodina). The percentage infected plants reached 40 to 70%, with 10.5 44.7% yield reductions. From fields, out 90 samples Pectobacterium carotovorum subsp. brasiliensis was most frequently identified and diagnosed as causal agent b...
