Emp24 is a member of the p24 protein family, which was initially localized to the endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi and COP vesicles, but has recently shown to be associated with Saccharomyces cerevisiae peroxisomes as well. Using cell fractionation and electron- and fluorescence microscopy, we show that in the yeast Hansenula polymorpha, Emp24 also associates with peroxisomes. In addition, we show ...

Three new aseptic cultures of Marchantia polymorpha from different collecting sites have been induced from the gametophytes. The formation of bisbibenzyls in differentiated cultures and cell suspension cultures was investigated. We observed that the production of the main bisbibenzyl, Marchantin A was induced by lack of nitrate and the addition of cupric sulfate to the medium. The comparison of...

The presence of microplastics (MPs) in several components different ecosystems has aroused great concern and led to numerous studies on MP pollution. Although there been an increasing number these aquatic ecosystems, no data about the pollution zebra mussel (Dreissena polymorpha, Pallas 1771) living Beyhan dam lake (Elaz??, Türkiye) are available. This study aimed investigate MPs freshwater spe...

In budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the peroxisomal protein Inp2 is required for inheritance of peroxisomes to the bud, by connecting the organelles to the motor protein Myo2 and the actin cytoskeleton. Recent data suggested that the function of Inp2 may not be conserved in other yeast species. Using in silico analyses we have identified a weakly conserved Inp2-related protein in 18 spec...

In this study, some biochemical responses of Cyfluthrin (CFT), a commercial insecticide in Dreissena polymorpha, were investigated. The 96 hour LC50 value CFT on D. polymorpha was calculated as 553.22 ± 27.3 µg / L. exposed to subletal concentrations (1/20, 1/10 and 1/5 value) for 24 hours. enzyme activities superoxide dismustase (SOD), catalase (CAT) glutathione peroxidase (GPx) determined ind...

The preliminary result of a survey conducted on Xylaria species in the North of Iran is presented. Based on morphological examination of fungal specimens collected from Guilan, Mazandaran and Golestan provinces, eight species including Xylaria arbuscula, X. cubensis, X. filiformis, X. hypoxylon, X. longipes, X. multiplex, X. pannosa, and X. polymorpha were identified. Among the identified speci...

The MADS-domain transcription factor SHORT VEGETATIVE PHASE plays a key role as a repressor of the transition to flowering and as a regulator of early floral development in Arabidopsis thaliana (Arabidopsis). However, no flowering-time repressors have been functionally identified in the model legume Medicago truncatula (Medicago). In this study, phylogenetic analysis of two closely-related MtSV...

Medicago truncatula is a model legume forage crop native to the arid and semi-arid environments of the Mediterranean. Given its drought-adapted nature, it is an ideal candidate to study the molecular and biochemical mechanisms conferring drought resistance in plants. Medicago plants were subjected to a progressive drought stress over 14 d of water withholding followed by rewatering under contro...

Bu çalışma, metabolik ve oksidatif stres biyobelirteçlerinin analizi yoluyla, su kirliliğinin iyi bir biyoindikatörü olarak kabul edilen tatlı omurgasızı Dreissena polymorpha üzerindeki Gadolinyum (Gd) toksisitesini değerlendirmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Öncelikle çalışmamızda Gd’nin D. LC50 değeri belirlenmiştir. polymorpha, kontrollü koşullar altında 24 96 saatlik süre boyunca üç letal olmayan Gd ko...

Isolates of Mima polymorpha and Herellea vaginicola obtained from retail food products were investigated for their ability to hydrolyze proteins, starch, and lipids as well as for their ability to initiate growth under varying conditions of pH, sodium chloride concentration, and temperature. None of the isolates hydrolyzed starch and a few hydrolyzed proteins, whereas most were actively lipolyt...
