The glycoprotein, non-virion protein, and polymerase of viral hemorrhagic septicemia virus are not determinants of host-specific virulence in rainbow trout
(BioMed Central Ltd, 2019-03-07)Background Viral hemorrhagic septicemia virus (VHSV), a fish rhabdovirus belonging to the Novirhabdovirus genus, causes severe disease and mortality in many marine and freshwater fish species worldwide. VHSV isolates ... -
Gnrh2 maintains reproduction in fasting zebrafish through dynamic neuronal projection changes and regulation of gonadotropin synthesis, oogenesis, and reproductive behaviors
(Springer Nature, 2021-03-23)Restricted food intake, either from lack of food sources or endogenous fasting, during reproductive periods is a widespread phenomenon across the animal kingdom. Considering previous studies show the canonical upstream ... -
Identification and characterization of the pckA gene from Staphylococcus aureus
(American Society for Microbiology, 1996-06)The Staphylococcus aureus pckA gene was identified and characterized. A pckA mutant lacked detectable phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase activity and grew poorly in the absence of glucose. Both enzymatic activity and pckA ... -
Induced Spawning of F1 Wreckfish (Hapuku) ¯ Polyprion oxygeneios Using a Synthetic Agonist of Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone
(MDPI, 2019-07-08)Wild-caught hapuku ( ¯ Polyprion oxygeneios) spawn readily in captivity, but although first filial (F1) hapuku complete vitellogenesis, females fail to undergo oocyte maturation and spawn or produce poor quality eggs. ... -
Intensive oyster aquaculture can reduce disease impacts on sympatric wild oysters
(Inter-Research, 2018-12-13)Risks associated with disease spread from fish and shellfish farming have plagued the growth and public perception of aquaculture worldwide. However, by processing nutrients and organic material from the water column, ... -
Interaction of the Bacillus subtilis glnRA repressor with operator and promoter sequences in vivo
(American Society for Microbiology (ASM), 1992-02)In vivo dimethyl sulfate footprinting of the Bacillus subtilis ginRA regulatory region under repressing and derepressing conditions demonstrated that the GlnR protein, encoded by glnR, interacts with two sites situated within ... -
