Changes in halitosis value before and after Helicobacter pylori eradication: A single-institutional prospective study.

Background And Aim: Although patients report either improved or worsened halitosis after Helicobacter pylori eradication therapy, such complaints are subjective. Only a few studies have objectively evaluated reports of changes in halitosis after H. pylori eradication; thus, this study aimed to investigate these changes after a successful H.

Functional expression of Acetabularia acetabulum vacuolar H(+)-pyrophosphatase in a yeast VMA3-deficient strain.

The function of the translation product of cDNA for Acetabularia vacuolar H(+)-pyrophosphatase was examined using the Saccharomyces cerevisiae VMA3-deficient strain. The open reading frame of Acetabularia H(+)-pyrophosphatase was revealed to encode 751 amino acids (721 or 751 amino acids in a previous paper). The acidification of the vacuole was observed by fluorescence microscopy when the cDNA was constructed in pYES2.
