Egg size is one of the most important aspects of the life history of free-spawning marine organisms, and it is correlated with larval developmental mode and many other life-history characters. Egg size is simple to measure and data are available for a wide range of taxa, but we have a limited understanding of how large and small eggs differ in composition; size is not always the best measure of...

Gene duplication is thought to play an important role in the co-option of existing protein functions to new physiological pathways. The globin superfamily of genes provides an excellent example of the kind of physiological versatility that can be attained through the functional and regulatory divergence of duplicated genes that encode different subunit polypeptides of the tetrameric hemoglobin ...

Cadmium (Cd), being a highly toxic metal pollutant of soils, it inhibits root and shoot growth and yield production, affects nutrient uptake and homeostasis. It is frequently accumulated by agriculturally important crops and then enters the food chain with a significant potential to impair animals and human’s health. Therefore, a study was conducted to evaluate the effects of various Cd levels ...

The protease enzyme produced by Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB) with characteristics similar to rennin is called Rennin Like Protease (RLP). purpose of the study was obtain information on biochemical RLP Enterococcus faecium 1.15 as a basis for utilization enzyme. first stage observation growth curves and potential isolates produce RLP, characterization. (RLP) which has been purified using Sephadex ...

A strain of bacteria M1, defluorinating perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS), was isolated from soil taken the territory for testing fire extinguishing agents. The analysis cultural, morphological, physiological and biochemical characters, 16S rRNA gene sequencing allowed us to identify M1 as Ensifer adhaerens. uniquely skill utilize PFOS in a mineral liquid medium 5 days cultivation shown. It f...
