Differential activity of rRNA gene clusters following growth-hormone administration has been demonstrated in cultured lymphocytes from subjects with different genetic backgrounds, i.e., with or without in vivo peripheral responsiveness to the hormone. The influence of different culture conditions on ribosomal gene responsiveness was also tested. Ribosomal gene activity was evaluated by selective silver staining of nucleolus organizing regions. The results show that hormone-induced enhancement of transcriptional activity requires both genetically determined cell responsiveness and environmentally determined permissive factors.

Molecular detection of Wolbachia sp. and Cytoplasmic incompatibility factors (CifA/B) in wild caught mosquitoes in Côte d'Ivoire.

Background: Wolbachia is an endosymbiont bacterium known to stimulate host immunity against arboviruses and protozoa. Côte d'Ivoire is in a malaria-endemic region, and has experienced several dengue epidemics in recent decades as well. In order to help reduce the transmission of pathogens by mosquito vectors, we studied the prevalence of Wolbachia and the distribution of Cytoplasmic incompatibility factors (Cif) genes in different mosquito species caught in the wild in Cote d'Ivoire.

Corals associate with a diverse community of prokaryotic symbionts that provide nutrition, antioxidants and other protective compounds to their host. However, the influence of microbes on coral thermotolerance remains understudied. Here, we examined the prokaryotic microbial communities associated with colonies of Acropora cf.

Four novel bacterial strains were isolated from stagnant water in a clump of Steud. The four Gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped, non-motile and yellow-coloured strains were designated as DGU11, DGU38, DGU41 and DGU99. The four novel strains exhibited 16S rRNA gene similarities with their closest type strains, ranging from 95.

A new alkaliphilic strain of a purple sulphur bacterium designated as Um2 (=KCTC 25734=VKM B-3893=UQM 41073) with bacteriochlorophyll and internal photosynthetic membranes of tubular type was isolated from the Umhei hydrothermal system (40 °C, pH 9.3 and salinity 0.42 g l) located in the Baikal rift zone (Russia).

Six Gram-reaction-positive, strictly aerobic, mycelium-forming actinobacteria were isolated from soils collected from a natural cave in Jeju, Republic of Korea. The isolates produced well-developed, branched, substrate mycelia and white aerial mycelia that differentiated into straight or flexuous chains of smooth-surfaced spores. Cells showed growth at 15-30 °C, pH 3.
