Anatomical, cytological and histochemical features of the neurosecretory system of the crab, l'aragrapsus gaimardii are described, In the brain and· the commissural ganglia, three types of neurosecretory cells are distinguished, The distribution of these cells in the brain and the commissural ganglia is described. In the eyestalk, four types of neurosecretory cells are identified and the distri...

Phenotypic switching is characterized as a virulence factor of Candida spp. This study was carried out to evaluate the phenotypic switching ability of C. krusei ATCC 14243 and to determine its effect on the biological properties, adherence capacity and susceptibility towards chlorhexidine digluconate (CHX). To induce switched generations C. krusei was cultured under nitrogen-depleted growth con...

An inkjet-printed rhodamine 6G/InO x photosensitizing interlayer for In 2 O 3 thin-film phototransistors enables photosensitivity of 4.1 × 10 5 and responsivity 250 A W ?1 .

Candida albicans is a commensal yeast that inhabits the gastrointestinal tract of humans. The master regulator white-opaque transition WOR1 has been implicated in adaptation to this status. A proteomic analysis cells overexpressing transcription factor (WOR1OE) suggested an altered metabolism carbon sources and phenotypic confirmed alteration. WOR1OE are deficient using trehalose xylose unable ...

Immature stages of Ceratitis capitata were tested as a model for hematoporphyrin IX (HP IX) phototoxicity. The lethal concentration 50 (LC(50)) of HP IX in the food was determined during postembryonic development until adult emergence as 0.173 mm (95% CI: 0.138-0.209). The corresponding HP IX LC(50) during the dispersal period alone was 0.536 mm (95% CI: 0.450-0.633). HP IX toxicity was compare...

The ability of Candida glabrata to switch between different colony phenotypes on a Sabouraud's-chloramphenicol agar supplemented with phloxine B was assessed in 14 C. glabrata isolates. Three phenotypes (pale pink smooth, dark pink smooth and fuchsia petite) were observed in vitro and two of them (pale pink smooth and dark pink smooth) in fresh clinical isolates plated directly from vaginal spe...
