In the Hindu community in Bali, it is known that there are various kinds of satay used for complete ceremonies. One many satays sate renteng or jerimpen from Baha Tourism Village which has a unique value. Therefore, this study examines order to find aesthetic value as well form, function, and meaning cultural life community. This found form at upakara was formed with banana tree trunk, on top p...

Culture of lymphocytes from adult Xenopus laevis (Daudin) (a pipid anuran amphibian) with mitogens (PHA, ConA, LPS and PWM) reveals a wide variation in the mitogen sensitivity of these cells: relatively high concentrations of mitogen are required to stimulate Xenopus lymphocytes compared with the concentrations appropriate for mammalian lymphocytes. Significantly better responses are obtained u...

Relationships of the pipid frog genus Silurana (= Xenopus tropicalis group of some authors) are of particular interest to developmental and molecular biologists because of the purported ancestral (i.e., unduplicated) karyotype of S. tropicalis relative to the genus Xenopus. Although most previous studies have assumed that Silurana is the sister group of Xenopus, recent morphological work sugges...

Relationships of the pipid frog genus Silurana ( = Xenopus tropicalis group of some authors) are of particular interest to developmental and molecular biologists because of the purported ancestral (i.e., unduplicated) karyotype of S. tropicaks relative to the genus Xenopus. Although most previous studies have assumed that SiZuruna is the sister group of Xenopus, recent morphological work sugges...

1. The purpose of this study was to compare oocytes from the pipid frogs Xenopus tropicalis and Xenopus laevis, with respect to their utility for studying Ca(2+) signalling mechanisms and for expression of heterologous proteins. 2. We show that X. tropicalis oocytes possess an intracellular Ca(2+) store that is mobilized by inositol (1,4,5) trisphosphate (IP(3)). Ca(2+) signalling is activated ...

Amphibians are important vertebrates in toxicology often representing both aquatic and terrestrial forms within the life history of the same species. Of the thousands of species, only two have substantial genomics resources: the recently published genome of the Pipid, Xenopus (Silurana) tropicalis, and transcript information (and ongoing genome sequencing project) of Xenopus laevis. However, ma...
