Bacterial border fence.

Institute of Biochemistry, ETH Zurich, 8093 Zurich, Switzerland.

Published: December 2012

Bacteria lack many of the features that eukaryotic cells use to compartmentalize cytoplasm and membranes. In this issue, Schlimpert et al. describe a new mechanism of spatial confinment in the bacterium Caulobacter crescentus that prevents the exchange of soluble and membrane proteins between the stalk and cell body.

Ciprofloxacin, a widely used second-generation fluoroquinolone for treating bacterial infections, has recently shown notable anticancer properties. This review explores progress in developing ciprofloxacin derivatives with anticancer properties, emphasizing key structural changes that improve their therapeutic effectiveness by modifying the basic group at position 7, the carboxylic acid group at position 3, or both. It further investigates the mechanisms by which these derivatives fight cancer, such as inducing apoptosis, arresting the cell cycle, inhibiting topoisomerase I and II, preventing tubulin polymerization, suppressing interleukin 6, blocking thymidine phosphorylase, inhibiting multidrug resistance proteins, and hindering angiogenesis.

Background: Botulinum toxin is an attenuated neurotoxin of Clostridium Botulinum gram positive bacterial, which is used in medication sialorrhea, cervical dystonia, hyperhidrosis and non-surgical cosmetic operation (aesthetic) such as facial wrinkles and reduced the bulky appearance hypertrophied of masseter muscle. This study was designed to revealed the effect of zygomiticus inoculation of botulinum toxin B in zygomatic muscle of rats on zygomatic bone.

Methods: A total of 25 male albino rats (200-260 gm) were injected facial intramuscular by a single dose of 2.

Instituto de Ciencias Aplicadas, Facultad de Ingeniería, Universidad Autónoma de Chile, Sede Talca, Talca, 3460000, Chile.

In the present study, the taxonomic position of Salinisphaera halophila (NZ_AYKF00000000) and Salinisphaera orenii (NZ_AYKH00000000) was re-evaluated. In addition, their metabolic potentials and mechanisms for mitigating stress conditions were determined. Comparisons of 16S rRNA gene sequences, analysis of the phylogenetic tree, phylogenomic tree, average nucleotide identity (ANI), and digital DNA-DNA hybridization (dDDH) values were conducted.

Key Laboratory of Environmental Pollution Monitoring and Disease Control, Ministry of Education of Guizhou & School of Basic Medical Science & Institution of One Health Research, Guizhou Medical University, Guiyang, 561113, People's Republic of China.

In the present study, the taxonomic position of Salisediminibacterium haloalkalitolerans was evaluated by determining the 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity, genome relatedness, and phylogenetic analyses. The 16S rRNA gene sequences extracted from the genomes of Salisediminibacterium haloalkalitolerans 10nlg and Salisediminibacterium halotolerans DSM 26530 showed 100% similarity, supporting their classification as the same species. The average nucleotide identity (ANI) and digital DNA-DNA hybridization (dDDH) values between S.
