Newcastle Disease Virus Vectored Chicken Infectious Anaemia Vaccine Induces Robust Immune Response in Chickens
(MDPI, 2021-10-02)Newcastle disease virus (NDV) strain R2B, with an altered fusion protein cleavage site, was used as a viral vector to deliver the immunogenic genes VP2 and VP1 of chicken infectious anaemia virus (CIAV) to generate a ... -
Nitrogenase diversity and activity in the gastrointestinal tract of the wood-eating catfish Panaque nigrolineatus
(International Society for Microbial Ecology, 2015-04-24)The Amazonian catfish, Panaque nigrolineatus, consume large amounts of wood in their diets. The nitrogen-fixing community within the gastrointestinal (GI) tract of these catfish was found to include nifH phylotypes that ... -
The Nucleoprotein and Phosphoprotein Are Major Determinants of the Virulence of Viral Hemorrhagic Septicemia Virus in Rainbow Trout
(American Society for Microbiology, 2019-09-15)Viral hemorrhagic septicemia virus (VHSV), a fish rhabdovirus, infects several marine and freshwater fish species. There are many strains of VHSV that affect different fish, but some strains of one genetic subgroup have ... -
Oral vaccination of Macrobrachium rosenbergii with baculovirus-expressed M. rosenbergii nodavirus (MrNV) capsid protein induces protective immunity against MrNV challenge
(Elsevier B.V, 2019-03)White Tail Disease (WTD) is one of the important viral diseases of fresh water giant prawn Macrobrachium rosenbergii, which is caused by Macrobrachium rosenbergii nodavirus (MrNV). In the present study, the capsid protein ... -
Pacific oysters are a sink and a potential source of the eelgrass pathogen, Labyrinthula zosterae
(Inter-Research, 2022-12-15)Oyster aquaculture and seagrasses often co-occur and are each vital to the ecological and economic value of coastal ecosystems. Global declines in seagrasses, including Zostera mari - na, have recently been observed in ... -
Phylogenetic Analysis of Microbial Communities in Different Regions of the Gastrointestinal Tract in Panaque nigrolineatus, a Wood-Eating Fish
(PLOS, 2012-10-25)The Neotropical detritivorous catfish Panaque nigrolineatus imbibes large quantities of wood as part of its diet. Due to the interest in cellulose, hemi-cellulose and lignin degradation pathways, this organism provides an ... -
Production of reproductively sterile fish by a non-transgenic gene silencing technology
(Nature, 2015-10-29)We developed a novel bath-immersion technology to produce large numbers of infertile fish. As seafood consumption shifts from fishery harvests towards artificially propagated species, optimization of aquaculture practices ... -
Purification and properties of glutamate synthase from Bacillus licheniformis
(American Society for Microbiology, 1984-11)Glutamate synthase [L-glutamate:NADP+ oxidoreductase (transaminating); EC 1.4.1.13] (GItS) was purified to homogeneity from BaciUus licheniformis A5. The native enzyme had a molecular weight of approximately 220,000 and ... -
Recombinant Newcastle Disease Virus (NDV) Expressing Sigma C Protein of Avian Reovirus (ARV) Protects against Both ARV and NDV in Chickens
(MDPI, 2019-09-10)Newcastle disease (ND) and avian reovirus (ARV) infections are a serious threat to the poultry industry, which causes heavy economic losses. The mesogenic NDV strain R2B is commonly used as a booster vaccine in many Asian ... -
Regulation of expression from the glnA promoter of Bacillus subtilis requires the glnA gene product
(American Society for Microbiology, 1985-05)Expression of the cloned glnA gene [coding for glutamine synthetase (EC 6.3.1.2)] of Bacillus subtilis was 10-fold higher in an Escherichia coli strain grown under nitrogen-limiting conditions than in the same strain under ... -
