Complete mitochondrial genome sequence of giant freshwater prawn, of Bangladesh.

We report the complete mitochondrial genome sequence of the giant freshwater prawn () from Bangladesh. The circular genome is 15,766 base pairs long, with a GC content of 38.1%, and contains 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, 2 rRNA genes, and 1 control region.

Harnessing plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria, and to combat salt stress in rice: a study on the regulation of antioxidant defense, ion homeostasis, and photosynthetic parameters.

Introduction: The ongoing global expansion of salt-affected land is a significant factor, limiting the growth and yield of crops, particularly rice ( L). This experiment explores the mitigation of salt-induced damage in rice (cv BRRI dhan100) following the application of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR).

Methods: Rice seedlings, at five- and six-weeks post-transplanting, were subjected to salt stress treatments using 50 and 100 mM NaCl at seven-day intervals.

Complete genome and plasmid sequence of a novel sp. BD59S, a parasporal protein synthesizing bacterium.

Parasporal crystalline inclusion proteins of some spp. are of paramount importance due to their insecticidal, nematocidal, and cancer cell killing capabilities. Here, we present a brief report of the complete genome sequence of sp.

Complete Genome Sequence of Bacillus subtilis Strain MH1, Which Has a High Level of Bacteriocin-Like Activity, Isolated from Soil in Bangladesh.

MH1 demonstrates a high level of bacteriocin activity against several pathogenic bacteria. We announce here the full-genome sequence of strain MH1, isolated from soil in Bangladesh. This genome length is 4,094,053 bp, with 43.

Novel toxicity of Bacillus thuringiensis strains against the melon fruit fly, Bactrocera cucurbitae (Diptera: Tephritidae).

Bactrocera cucurbitae (melon fruit fly) is one of the most detrimental vegetable-damaging pests in Bangladesh. The toxicity of Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) has been reported against a few genera of Bactrocera in addition to numerous other insect species. Bt strains, harbouring cry1A-type genes were, therefore, assayed in vivo against the 3(rd) instar larvae of B.

Initiation of protein synthesis by hepatitis C virus is refractory to reduced eIF2.GTP.Met-tRNA(i)(Met) ternary complex availability.

A cornerstone of the antiviral interferon response is phosphorylation of eukaryotic initiation factor (eIF)2alpha. This limits the availability of eIF2.GTP.

Eukaryotic protein synthesis inhibitors identified by comparison of cytotoxicity profiles.

The National Cancer Institute (NCI) Human Tumor Cell Line Anti-Cancer Drug Screen has evaluated the cytotoxicity profiles of a large number of synthetic compounds, natural products, and plant extracts on 60 different cell lines. The data for each compound/extract can be assessed for similarity of cytotoxicity pattern, relative to a given test compound, using an algorithm called COMPARE. In applying a chemical biology approach to better understand the mechanism of eukaryotic protein synthesis, we used these resources to search for novel inhibitors of translation.
