Surfactant proteins are of major importance for the stability and flexibility of lipid systems like the lung surfactant or the tear film. They can support the adsorption of phospholipids into a layer or specifically influence the surface tension of a lipid surface [1]. To fulfil these functions, they are described to be highly posttranslationally modified. Furthermore, immunological functions w...

background: tannase can be obtained from the various sources for example tannin rich plants; however microbial sources are preferred for industrial production. in microbial sources, the aspergillus and penicillium genus and lactic acid bacteria mostly produce tannase. however, it has been identified that this enzyme is produced by many fungi and bacteria, but researches are continuing to find n...

Four new species of Centroderes are described from the Northwest Atlantic Ocean based on light microscopical observations of 153 adult and 26 juvenile specimens and on SEM investigations of 54 adult and 3 juvenile specimens. Centroderes barbanigra n. sp. and C. bonnyae n. sp. can be distinguished from all other species by the existence of a short lateroventral tube on segment 7. The latter spec...

Assigbetse, K. B., Fernandez, D., Dubois, M. P., and Geiger, J.-P. 1994. Differentiation of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. vasinfectum races on cotton by random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis. Phytopathology 84:622-626. We used pathogenicity and random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers to assess genetic diversity among 46 isolates of Fusarium ox~~sporum f. sp. vasinfectuni of world...

We analyze dynamics of chiral gauge theories based on the $SU(N)$ group with one anti-symmetric tensor $A$ and $(N-4)$ anti-fundamentals $F_{i}$ when $N$ is odd. Based continuity to supersymmetric anomaly-mediated supersymmetry breaking, we claim that global $SU(N-4)$ symmetry spontaneously broken $Sp(N-5)$. There are $N-5$ massless fermions as a fundamental representation $Sp(N-5)$, another fe...

This paper brings together several research streams and concepts that have been evolving in random utility choice theory: (1) it reviews the literature on stated preference (SP) elicitation methods and introduces the concept of testing data generation process invariance across SP and revealed preference (RP) choice data sources; (2) it describes the evolution of discrete choice models within th...

Barley powdery mildew, caused by the pathogen Blumeria graminis f. sp. hordei is an important disease of barley (Hordeum vulgare L.). The random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) method was used to detect DNA polymorphism among 7 Pallas near-isogenic lines (NILs) carrying Mla3, Mla12, Mlk, Mlp, Mlat, Mlg and MlLa genes for resistance to B. graminis f. sp. hordei. From among 500 random 10-mer pri...

Carotenoids are known to possess immense nutraceutical properties and microorganisms are continuously being explored as natural source for production of carotenoids. In this study, pigmented bacteria belonging to Flavobacteriaceae family were isolated using kanamycin-containing marine agar and identified using the molecular techniques and their phenotypic characteristics were studied along with...
