ABSTRACT Seventeen isolates of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. vasinfectum from the Ivory Coast were characterized using vegetative compatibility group (VCG), restriction fragment length polymorphism of the ribosomal inter-genic spacer region (IGS), and mating type (MAT) idiomorph, and compared with a worldwide collection of the pathogen containing all available reference strains. Some of the isolates were identical to known reference strains for all three traits, whereas others had previously unknown varieties of IGS and (possibly) VCG. One or the other MAT idiomorph was present in each of the new isolates and the reference strains. The new isolates and reference strains were grouped based upon the three traits. Strains from the Ivory Coast were found in 7 of 11 groups detected, suggesting multiple sources for Fusarium wilt in the country. Despite the presence of both MAT idiomorphs among isolates, no evidence for recombination was found.

Unlabelled: BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Left atrial strain (LAS) has prognostic value in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). Consequently, therapies that improve LAS may help reduce AF-related adverse cardiac events. We aimed to compare how digoxin and bisoprolol modulate LAS in patients with AF being treated with rate control.

Recombineering (recombination-mediated genetic engineering) is a powerful strategy for bacterial genomic DNA and plasmid DNA modifications. CoS-MAGE improved over MAGE (multiplex automated genome engineering) by co-electroporation of an antibiotic resistance repair oligo along with the oligos for modification of the Escherichia coli chromosome. After several cycles of recombineering, the sub-population of mutants were selected among the antibiotic resistant colonies.

Introduction: Strains of the syphilis spirochete, ssp. , group into one of two deep-branching clades: the Nichols clade or the globally dominant Street Strain 14 (SS14) clade. To date, in-depth proteome-wide analyses have focused on Nichols clade strains.
