Denitrifying phosphorus removal (DPR) by denitrifying phosphorus-accumulating organisms (DPAOs) is a promising approach for reducing energy and carbon usage. However, influent fluctuations or interruptions frequently expose the DPAOs biomass to starvation conditions, reducing biomass activity and amount, and ultimately degrading the performance of DPR. Therefore, a better understanding of the e...
The social amoeba is widely studied for its Dictyostelium discoideum multicellular development program as a response to starvation. Aggregates of up to 10 cells form fruiting bodies containing (i) dormant spores (~80%) that can persist for months in the absence of nutrients, and (ii) dead stalk cells (~20%) that promote the dispersion of the spores towards nutrient-rich areas. It is often overl...
Lipogenic capacity of various dietary carbohydrates starch, glucose sucrose and lactose was tested during ad lib feeding and starvation followed by refeeding. Sucrose was found to have maximal effect on hepatic total lipid and the enzymes in the study followed by glucose and sago while lactose was found to be toxic. Starvation resulted depression in the activities of various enzymes. The enzyme...
Enhanced root hair production, which increases the root surface area for nutrient uptake, is a typical adaptive response of plants to phosphate (Pi) starvation. Although previous studies have shown that ethylene plays an important role in root hair development induced by Pi starvation, the underlying molecular mechanism is not understood. In this work, we characterized an Arabidopsis mutant, hp...
Recently we showed that upon transfer of growing Mycobacterium smegmatis into saline, the bacilli exited the canonical cell division cycle and formed septated multi-nucleoided cells. Under shock starvation (i.e., in saline without any carbon source), differentiation terminated at this stage with internally remodeled Large Resting Cells (LARCs). Whereas under gentle starvation (i.e., in saline w...
Most animals face periods of food shortage and are thus expected to evolve adaptations enhancing starvation resistance. Most of our knowledge of the genetic and physiological bases of those adaptations, their evolutionary correlates and trade-offs, and patterns of withinand among-population variation, comes from studies on Drosophila. In this review we attempt to synthesize the various facets o...
The broad host-range pathogen Serratia marcescens survives in diverse host and non-host environments, often enduring conditions in which the concentration of essential nutrients is growth-limiting. In such environments, carbon and energy source starvation (carbon-starvation) is one of the most common forms of stress encountered by S. marcescens. Related members of the family Enterobacteriaceae ...
Parathyroid hormone (PTH) acts on bone and kidneys by binding to PTH/PTH-related protein (PTHrP) receptors and regulating calcium (Ca) and phosphorus (P) homeostasis. PTH/PTHrP receptor mRNA was expressed at high levels in PTH target tissues such as the kidneys and bone including the calvaria, femur, and tibia. Because short-term starvation influences Ca and P ion homeostasis, we measured chang...
Aminotransferases (GOT and GPT) activities in the hemolymph of Bradybaena similaris under experimental condition of starvation were studied. At the 10th day of starvation, GOT activity was 416.6% higher than that observed in the fed snails, being reduced and ranging values near to that shown by the control group onwards. GPT activity only varied significantly at the day-30 of starvation. The re...
In the present study we examine the effects of the drug hadacidin (N-formyl-N- hydroxyglycine) on pinocytosis in the eukaryotic microorganism dictyostelium discoideum. At concentrations of up to approximately 8 mg/ml, hadacidin inhibited the rate of pinocytosis of fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) dextran in cells in growth medium in a concentration-dependent manner but had no effect on cells i...
