Endospore production of spp. for industrial use.

The increased occurrence of antibiotic resistance and the harmful use of pesticides are a major problem of modern times. A ban on the use of antibiotics as growth promoters in animal breeding has put a focus on the probiotics market. Probiotic food supplements are versatile and show promising results in animal and human nutrition.

Bioprocess development for endospore production by using an optimized chemically defined medium.

is a promising probiotic, because it combines probiotic properties of and the ability of to form endospores. Due to this hybrid relationship, cultivation of this organism is challenging. As the probiotics market continues to grow, there is a new focus on the production of these microorganisms.

Facilitated endospore detection for spp. through automated algorithm-based image processing.

spp. endospores are important dormant cell forms and are distributed widely in environmental samples. While these endospores can have important industrial value (e.

Tomato leaves under stress: a comparison of stress response to mild abiotic stress between a cultivated and a wild tomato species.

Tomato is one of the most produced crop plants on earth and growing in the fields and greenhouses all over the world. Breeding with known traits of wild species can enhance stress tolerance of cultivated crops. In this study, we investigated responses of the transcriptome as well as primary and secondary metabolites in leaves of a cultivated and a wild tomato to several abiotic stresses such as nitrogen deficiency, chilling or warmer temperatures, elevated light intensities and combinations thereof.

Initiation of translation and cellular localization of Theileria annulata casein kinase IIalpha: implication for its role in host cell transformation.

Theileria annulata and T. parva are protozoa that infect bovine leukocytes which leads to subsequent transformation and uncontrolled proliferation of these cells. It has been proposed that the CKIIalpha subunit of T.
