The landed weight sablefish in U.S. commercial fisheries not large compared other species; however, exceptional value has ranked it high such as pollock, sockeye salmon, Pacific cod. Sablefish a...

Exposure of Escherichia coli MG1655 to environmental bacteriophages results in rapid selection for phage-tolerant subpopulations displaying increased biofilm formation. Analysis of one phage-tolerant strain revealed large amounts of the DNA-binding Dps protein in the outer membrane protein and production of fimbria-like structures. In dps and fimA mutant derivatives of MG1655, no selection of p...

Stress-related alterations to the induction of hippocampal synaptic plasticity have been implicated in certain forms of psychiatric disorders. However, relatively little is known about such changes in other psychiatric disorders-related structures. We tested this possibility in one of such structures, the nucleus accumbens, during re-exposure of rats to a conditioned stressful environment, in w...
