Models predict the variation in collections of effector and cognate immunity genes determine competitiveness and can affect the dynamics of populations and communities of bacteria. However, the outcomes of competition cannot be entirely explained by compatibility of effector-immunity (EI) pairs.

To further improve this biotechnology application, a better understanding of the natural genetic variation is critical. During the process of isolation and characterization of wild-type strains, we found a novel strain (i.

The main purpose of the study was to investigate the effect of resistance exercise on DHEA-S concentration during a 72 h post-exercise recovery, and its relation to glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity. Morning fasted serum samples was obtained from 19 male volunteers (aged 21.
