The transfer of Nicotiana tabacum plants grown in low light (60 micromoles quanta per square meter per second) to higher light (360 micromoles quanta per square meter per second) was previously shown to induce adaptive stimulation of photosynthetic capacities. The variations of ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (RubisCo) expression in mature leaves was examined as a result of this acc...

Ribosomal RNA sequences have been shown to be a target of choice for the interand intraspecies identification and classification of a number of microorganisms (For example: 1, 2). However, no known large subunit rRNAs (LSU) sequence of pathogenic yeasts have yet been obtained. Therefore, during the course of an epidemiologic study of recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis, we decided to determine t...

The ribosomal DNA comprised of the ITS1-5.8S-ITS2 regions is widely used as a fungal marker in molecular ecology and systematics but cannot be aligned with confidence across genetically distant taxa. In order to study the diversity of Agaricomycotina in forest soils, we designed primers targeting the more alignable 28S (LSU) gene, which should be more useful for phylogenetic analyses of the det...

A stand of Paramecium novaurelia was found in Boston Massachusetts, USA, the first on this continent. Molecular studies (RAPD and sequencing ofrRNA [3'SSUrRNA-ITS1, 5' LSU rRNA] and COI mtDNA fragments) of P. novaurelia strains show intra-specific polymorphism within the species as strain clusters characterized by variable relationships.

The response of marine ecosystems to rapid climate changes has been well recognized but not studied extensively. Benthic microalgae, in contrast the phytoplankton that is able be transported by currents, have limited dispersal ability and thus are a better ecological indicator changes. Here we performed sampling Yellow Sea, East China Sea South established twenty-six strains benthic Prorocentru...
