Konya Kuflu Tulum cheese is a well-known variety of Turkish mold-ripened cheeses produced by cutting the mature into pieces to allow filamentous fungi grow on its surface in cool and humid atmosphere cellars or caves. The aim present study was determine fungal flora using 54 8 yeasts that were isolated from 26 samples. Internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequencing indicated 53 mold isolates Peni...

In order to fully comprehend the evolution and kinship of fishes in family Loricariidae, complete mitochondrial genome Loricariidae fish Ancistrus temmincki was firstly characterized present study. The whole mitogenome 16,657 bp size consisted 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNAs, 2 rRNAs a control region origin light-strand replication. proportion coding sequences with total length 11,473 68.88%,...

Case presentation: Six-year-old, female, daughter of nonconsanguineous parents, with normal neuropsychomotor development until her first year, posterior developmental regression. At the age 2, she started having absence seizures, evolving to generalized tonic-clonic seizures. Her phenotype exhibits a triangular face, prognathism, hypertrophic gums, and accelerated growth. Additional tests: elev...

This report describes application of PCR fingerprinting to identify common species of dermatophytes using the microsatellite primers M13, (GACA)4, and (GTG)5. The initial PCR analysis rendered a specific DNA fragment for Microsporum audouinii, which was cloned and sequenced. Based on the sequencing data of this fragment, forward (MA_1F) and reverse (MA_1R) primers were designed and verified by ...

Sickle hemoglobin (HbS) is caused by a single nucleotide substitution (A → T) in the 6 th codon of -globin gene on chromosome 11 which results in replacement of Glutamic acid (GAG) by Valine (GTG) (Pauling et al., 1949; Ingram 1956). Under deoxygenated conditions, this substitution causes HbS polymerization (Bunn, 1997) and modifies the stability of the hemoglobin leading to the clinical disor...

K99 fimbriae of enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli consist of eight different subunits. A major subunit called fimbrillin forms fimbrial structure and a minor subunit called adhesin localizes at the tip of fimbriae and recognizes host receptor ganglioside. Within this eight gene cluster, fanE and fanF have not yet been sequenced. In this study, fanE and fanF genes were sequenced by analyzing seve...

Developmental delay and intellectual disabilities (DD/ID) are significant health problems affecting 3% of the human population. Submicroscopic chromosomal rearrangements involving subtelomeric regions are often considered to be the cause of unexplained DD/ID. Screening of subtelomeric regions was performed in 80 unrelated patients with DD/ID and normal GTG-banded chromosomes using the MLPA meth...

The aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases covalently link transfer RNAs to their cognate amino acids. Some of the tRNA synthetases have evolved editing mechanisms to ensure fidelity in this first step of protein synthesis. The amino acid editing site for leucyl- (LeuRS) and isoleucyl- (IleRS) tRNA synthetases reside within homologous CP1 domains. In each case, a threonine-rich peptide and a second conserv...

Oculo-auriculovertebral dysplasia (Goldenhar) is a congenital syndrome. Its phenotype differs from craniofacial anomalies to cardiac, vertebral or central nervous system defects. This syndrome is rare and its etiology is not apparent yet. Pericentric inversion of chromosome 9 is one of the most common structural balanced chromosomal aberrations with its incidences 15% to 25%. Herein we present ...

This communication presents the first case of complete trisomy 19q, prenatally detected by ultrasound investigation. Real-time high-resolution ultrasound examination was performed at 19 weeks of gestation. After termination of the pregnancy, autopsy investigation was done. GTG-banding, fluorescence in situ hybridization m-(FISH) analysis, and FISH analysis with a 19q subtelomeric specific probe...
