Expression of several SOS functions such as induction of lambda prophage, inhibition of cell division and induction of both umuC and recA genes after UV-irradiation, nalidixic acid or mitomycin C addition was studied in an RecBC- mutant. UV-irradiation and mitomycin C induced all SOS functions studied in the RecBC- cells but at a lower level and delayed with respect to the wild-type strain. On the contrary, nalidixic acid was unable to trigger any of these SOS functions. In the RecBC- mutant, adenine only had a stimulating effect on the amplification of RecA protein synthesis following UV-irradiation. Nevertheless, in the wild-type strain the stimulating effect occurred in all SOS functions studied following UV-irradiation as well as in the amplification of RecA protein synthesis by nalidixic acid but not in the other SOS functions triggered by this compound. Furthermore, adenine produced a decrease in the mitomycin C-mediated induction of all SOS functions studied in both RecBC- and wild-type strains.

The widespread and inappropriate use of antibiotics, for therapeutic and prophylactic purposes, has contributed to a global crisis of rapidly increasing antimicrobial resistance of microorganisms. This resistance is often associated with elevated mutagenesis induced by the presence of antibiotics. Additionally, subinhibitory concentrations of antibiotics can trigger stress responses in bacteria, further exacerbating this problem.

The cation/proton exchanger (CHX), salt overly sensitive (SOS), and receptor-like kinase (RLK) genes play significant roles in the response to salt stress in plants. This study is the first to identify the SOS gene in Solanum lycopersicum (tomato) through genome-wide analysis under salt stress conditions. Quantitative reverse transcription PCR (qRT-PCR) results indicated that the expression levels of CHX, SOS, and RLK genes were upregulated, with fold changes of 1.

Background: In the realm of system biology, it is a challenging endeavor to infer a gene regulatory network from time-series gene expression data. Numerous Boolean network inference techniques have emerged for reconstructing a gene regulatory network from a time-series gene expression dataset. However, most of these techniques pose scalability concerns given their capability to consider only two to three regulatory genes over a specific target gene.

Waste activated sludge (WAS) pose a potential risk for the spread of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs). This study estimated the effect of sludge on antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in anaerobic sludge digestion process. Metagenomic analysis revealed anaerobic sludge with potassium ferrate (PF) and the modified PF loaded steel slag (MPF-SS) brought an increase of ARGs during digestion process.

Article Synopsis
- Protein kinases are crucial for plant growth and responses to stress, but research on these proteins in sunflowers is limited compared to other crops like soybean and cotton.
- A comprehensive study identified 2,583 protein kinases in sunflowers, classifying them into 22 families and 121 subfamilies, with three specific subfamilies showing significant growth.
- The research also analyzed how these kinases respond to different stresses, ultimately identifying 73 key protein kinases involved in essential signaling pathways, contributing valuable foundational data to the field.
