the present paper deals with a toxin producing phytoplankton (tpp)-zooplankton interaction in spatial environment in thecontext of phytoplankton bloom. in the absence of diffusion the stability of the given system in terms of co-existence and hopf bifurcation has been discussed. after that tpp-zooplankton interaction is considered in spatiotemporal domain by assuming self diffusion in both popu...

Polyclonal antibodies raised against rat vesicle associated membrane protein-2 (VAMP-2) recognized, in carrot (Daucus carota) microsomes, two major polypeptides of 18 and 30 kD, respectively. A biochemical separation of intracellular membranes by a sucrose density gradient co-localized the two polypeptides as resident in light, dense microsomes, corresponding to the endoplasmic reticulum-enrich...

Only few small, regulatory RNAs encoded opposite another gene have been identified in bacteria. Here, we report the characterization of a locus where a small RNA (SymR) is encoded in cis to an SOS-induced gene whose product shows homology to the antitoxin MazE (SymE). Synthesis of the SymE protein is tightly repressed at multiple levels by the LexA repressor, the SymR RNA and the Lon protease. ...

Many aquatic organisms are resistant to environmental pollutants, probably because their inherent multi-drug-resistant protein extrusion pump (pgp) can be co-opted to handle man-made pollutants. This mechanism of multixenobiotic resistance is similar to the mechanism of multidrug resistance exhibited in chemotherapy-resistant human tumor cells. In the present study, a variety of techniques were...

5th day averts the crisis of pneumonia, Proba ^ neutralizing the toxin liberated by the pneumococcus. in both the cases the fever came down by lysis.Mia took about fourteen days to reach normal. In a case, treated at the same time, in which glucose not given fever came down by crisis on the 7t y accompanied by profuse perspiration and purging. I have also tried glucose by the intravenous rou e ...

A guanosine 5'-[gamma-[35S]thio]triphosphate-binding activity was detergent-extracted from Trypanosoma cruzi membranes. This binding activity was co-eluted from gel-filtration columns with a factor which, in a heterologous reconstitution system, blocks glucagon stimulation of adenylate cyclase activity in liver membranes. ADP-ribosylation of these membranes by pertussis toxin eliminated this bl...

The Gram-positive pathogen Group B Streptococcus (GBS) is the leading cause of bacterial pneumonia, sepsis, and meningitis in human newborns. GBS elaborates a pore-forming toxin known as CAMP factor that synergizes with Staphylococcus aureus beta-toxin, generating a co-hemolytic reaction useful in identification of GBS in the clinical laboratory. To evaluate the indirect evidence implicating CA...
