Description of Saprolegnia velencensis sp. n. (Oomycota), a novel water mold species from Lake Velence, Hungary.

Here, we describe a novel water mold species, Saprolegnia velencensis sp. n. from Lake Velence, in Hungary.

New Insights into the Morphological Diversity of (Oomycota) Strains under In Vitro Culture Conditions.

Coker, 1923 is a primary fish pathogen and one of the most common water molds in freshwater ecosystems. In our study, nineteen strains of were isolated, identified, and characterized using morphological and genetic markers. On the basis of the abundance of zoosporangia, gemmae, the formation of gemma chains, and the induction of zoospore release, three morphotypes were differentiated.

Differentiation of mycoplasma gallisepticum strains using molecular methods.

Increasing use of Mycoplasma gallisepticum (MG) live vaccines has led to a need for the differentiation of MG strains. The MG strains MK-7, MS-16, S6, FS-9 and R strains and the MG live vaccine strain F were compared by random amplification of polymorphic DNA (RAPD) in this study. Using RAPD, different patterns were found among the MG strains.

Binding of mycoplasmas to solid phase adsorbents.

The capture of mycoplasmas (M. hominis, M. buccale, M.

Light-induced wilting and its molecular mechanism in epicotyls of dark-germinated pea (Pisum sativum L.) seedlings.

Possible mechanisms behind the light-induced wilting of dark-germinated pea (Pisum sativum L.) epicotyls were studied. Illumination with photosynthetically active radiation caused a fast turgor loss and wilting in the middle segments of the epicotyls accompanied by accumulation of water in the intercellular cavities.

Frequencies of two common mutations (c.35delG and c.167delT) of the connexin 26 gene in different populations of Hungary.

The most common form of non-syndromic autosomal recessive deafness (NSRD) is caused by mutations in the gene GJB2, encoding the protein connexin 26 (Cx26). The mutation c.35delG is found in 30-70% of Caucasian NSRD cases, and is abundant (allele frequency of 0.
