The species status of Hyphydrus anatolicus Guignot, 1957 and H. sanctus Sharp, 1882, previously often confused with the widespread H. ovatus (Linnaeus, 1760), are tested with molecular and morphological characters. Cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (CO1) was sequenced for 32 specimens of all three species. Gene-trees were inferred with parsimony, time-free bayesian and strict clock bayesian analys...

The synthesis of new metal–organic coordination polymers continues to attract a great deal of interest since such materials have been shown to exhibit highly desirable solid-state properties such as magnetism, nanoporosity, second-harmonic generation and show promise for use in molecular electronics. They may also be doped with other metals to produce active heterogeneous catalysts. In particul...

A molecular phylogeographic study of Paragonimus mexicanus collected from Guatemala and Ecuador was performed. Genomic DNA was extracted from individual metacercariae, and two gene regions (partial mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (CO1) and the second internal transcribed spacer of the nuclear ribosomal gene repeat (ITS2)) were amplified by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Seque...

In this article we give an self contained existence proof for J. Conway’s sporadic simple group Co1 [4] using the second author’s algorithm [14] constructing finite simple groups from irreducible subgroups of GLn(2). Here n = 11 and the irreducible subgroup is the Mathieu group M24. From the split extension E of M24 by a uniquely determined 11-dimensional GF(2)M24module V we construct the centr...

Our study evaluated in silico the potential of 14 mitochondrial genes encoding the subunits of the respiratory chain complexes, including cytochrome c oxidase I (CO1), as Basidiomycota DNA barcode. Fifteen complete and partial mitochondrial genomes were recovered and characterized in this study. Mitochondrial genes showed high values of molecular divergence, indicating a potential for the resol...

Colicins Ia and Ib have been purified from mitomycin C-induced Escherichia coli strains W3110 str-r (co1 Ia) and W3110 str-r (co1 Ib) by ammonium sulfate precipitation, treatment with diethylaminoethylcellulose, and chromatography on DEAE-Sephadex, phosphocellulose, and hydroxylapatite. Sedimentation velocity and equilibrium centrifugation as well as polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis at severa...

The certainty that a species is accurately identified is the cornerstone of appearance based classification; however the methods used in classical taxonomy have yet to fully catch up with the digital age. Recognising this, the CO1 algorithm presented on the StripeSpotter platform was used to identify different species and sexes of mosquito wings (Diptera: Culicidae) and honey bee and bumblebee ...

This study is a first report of an interstitial ostracod from Southeast Asia. The ostracod species, Paracobanocythere vietnamensis sp. n., was found in the marine interstitial environment of Phu Quoc Island, Vietnam. Thus far, three species of this genus have been described. The morphology of the carapace as well as the appendages of this new species are quite similar to P. hawaiiensis and P. w...

Amorphous Co1-xPx alloy nanowire arrays with different sizes and 6.8 wt% x 9.9 wt% were fabricated in an anodic aluminum oxide film by electrodeposition. Transmission electron microscopy, selected area electron diffraction, X-ray fluorescence spectrometer, inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectrometer, X-ray diffraction spectrometer and vibrating sample magnetometer are employed to st...

The aim of this study was to provide molecular detection and characterization of the goat isolate of Taenia hydatigena from Ankara province of Turkey. For this purpose, PCR amplification of small subunit ribosomal RNA (rrnS) and partial sequencing of mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (mt-CO1) genes were performed in a one-month-old dead goat. According to rrnS-PCR results, parasites ...
