Ophiostoma novo-ulmi continues to be one of the most dangerous invasive fungi, destroying many autochthonous elm forests and cultures throughout world. Searching for natural genotypes tolerant Dutch disease (DED) is main objectives silviculturists all over northern hemisphere in order save susceptible elms restore their ecosystem biodiversity. In this regard, first trial was established between...

Tree decline caused by exotic Phytophthora pathogens is a serious issue affecting forests around the world. The presence of has been reported in heavily visited natural forests; however, whether recreational are at higher risk being attacked than non-recreational yet to be explored. In this study, we sampled soil from 44 Catalonia (NE Spain) with high or low use that were dominated chestnut (Ca...

Chlamydia muridarum is known to colonize in the gastrointestinal tract for long periods of time, which has been hypothesized to serve as a reservoir for spreading to the genital tract. To test this hypothesis, a luciferase-expressing C. muridarum was used to establish a long-lasting infection in the mouse gastrointestinal tract following either intragastric or intrarectal inoculations. In vivo ...

introduction: candida albicans (ca) is by far the most common yeast of oral infections, including endodontic infections. the aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the antifungal effect of white-colored mineral trioxide aggregate (wmta) and portland cement (pc) using a tube-dilution test. materials and methods: wmta and pc were tested freshly mixed and after 24 h. the experiment was perf...

atypical mycobacterium granulomatous skin infections are often accured by mycobacterium marinum, m. ulcerans, m. fortuitum, and m. avium colonies. skin infections probably originate from an environmental source such as contacting with aquatic animals, fish farming and swimming in the pools, and inoculate into skin through skin wounds, scratches, trauma, and surgery. the lesions appear as purple...

On December 28, 2015, avian influenza A(H5N6) was detected in a throat swab sample from a patient (female, 26 years of age) with severe pneumonia by Shenzhen Municipal Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). On December 31, 2015, another H5N6–positive case was detected in throat swab and tracheal aspirate samples from a patient (female, 40 years of age) with fever by Zhaoqing Municipal...

UNLABELLED A method is described for growth of a Lactobacillus plantarum starter culture in jars of commercially available pasteurized fresh-pack kosher dill cucumbers so that jars can be used to inoculate commercial scale cucumber fermentation tanks. A procedure is also described to transfer lactic acid bacteria from frozen storage in MRS broth into cucumber juice and commercial jars of kosher...

ABSTRACT Asian soybean rust (ASR) is an economically significant disease caused by the fungus Phakopsora pachyrhizi. The soybean genes Rpp3 and Rpp?(Hyuuga) confer resistance to specific isolates of the pathogen. Both genes map to chromosome 6 (Gm06) (linkage group [LG] C2). We recently identified 12 additional soybean accessions that harbor ASR resistance mapping to Gm06, within 5 centimorgans...

Biocathodes in bioelectrochemical systems (BESs) can be used to convert CO2 into diverse organic compounds through a process called microbial electrosynthesis. Unfortunately, start-up of anaerobic biocathodes in BESs is a difficult and time consuming process. Here, a pre-enrichment method was developed to improve start-up of anaerobic facultatively autotrophic biocathodes capable of using catho...
