A three dimensional digital binary image is B26 connected if its set of black voxels is 26-connected, i.e. for all black voxels there exists at least one black voxel among its 26 neighbors. We show that any two such images I and J of c1 and c2 number of connected components respectively and n voxels each, can be transformed into one another maintaining the B26 connectivity of the black voxels b...

An N -dimensional digital binary image (I) is a function I : Z → {0, 1}. I is B3N−1,W3N−1 connected if and only if its black pixels and white pixels are each (3 − 1)-connected. I is only B3N−1 connected if and only if its black pixels are (3 − 1)-connected. For a 3-D binary image, the respective connectivity models are B26,W26 and B26. A pair of (3 N − 1)-neighboring opposite-valued pixels is c...

Plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGB) induce positive effects in plants, for instance, increased growth and reduced abiotic stresses susceptibility. The mechanisms by which these bacteria impact the host plant are numerous, diverse and often specific. Here, we studied the agronomical, molecular and biochemical effects of the endophytic PGB Bacillus subtilis B26 on the full life cycle of Brachyp...

The structural characterization of the insulin-insulin receptor (IR) interaction still lacks the conformation of the crucial B21-B30 insulin region, which must be different from that in its storage forms to ensure effective receptor binding. Here, it is shown that insulin analogues modified by natural amino acids at the TyrB26 site can represent an active form of this hormone. In particular, [A...

Bacillus methylotrophicus is implicated in phytostimulation and disease suppression of agricultural and bioenergy crops. Here, we present the genome sequences of B. methylotrophicus strains B26 and OB9. Their assembly resulted in 26 and 24 contigs, respectively. These strains are well suited for comparative genomics studies and the evaluation of commercially valuable biomolecular compounds.

Drought is a major limiting factor of crop productivity worldwide and its incidence is predicted to increase under climate change. Drought adaptation of cool-season grasses is thus a major challenge to secure the agricultural productivity under current and future climate conditions. Endophytes are non-pathogenic plant-associated bacteria that can play an important role in conferring resistance ...

This study aimed to optimize the medium compositions and cultural conditions for improved chitinase production by a potential strain of Bacillus isolated from marine environment determine antifungal activity its against plant pathogenic fungi. Five isolates were cultured submerged fermentation using colloidal chitin in liquid medium. In this study, was determined measuring reducing sugars, whic...

Rats were injected with [125I]iodoinsulin labeled at either the A14 or B26 tyrosine, and the animals were killed and livers subcellularly fractionated to yield light (early or neutral) endosomes and heavy (late or acidic) endosomes. 125I-Labeled material was extracted from endosomes and analyzed by Sephadex G-50 filtration and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Radiolabeled material...

We use 101 galaxies selected from the Nearby Field Galaxy Survey (NFGS) to investigate the effect of aperture size on the star formation rate, metallicity and reddening determinations for galaxies. Our sample includes galaxies of all Hubble types except ellipticals with global SFRs ranging from 0.01 to 100 M⊙yr , metallicities between 7.9 .log(O/H)+12. 9.0, and reddening between 0 . A(V ) . 3.3...
