- Abstract:
- ... In this work, a novel dual-ratiometric optical probe based on europium-doped carbon dots (Eu-CDs) was developed for colorimetric and fluorescent visual sensing dipicolinic acid (DPA), a anthrax biomarker. Eu-CDs with recessive signals were prepared via thermal pyrolysis method. And the magenta appears when Eu-CDs coordinates with Eriochrome Black T (EBT). Based on the ligand displacement strategy, ...

- Abstract:
- ... The microsporidian Enterocytozoon hepatopenaei (EHP) is a major threat for shrimp culture. We hypothesized that commercial feeds processed at 75 °C or higher would present no risk for EHP transmission, even if they test positive for EHP by PCR. To test this hypothesis, the purified EHP spores (1 × 10⁶ spores) were incubated at 25 °C (non-heated) or 75 °C (heated) for 45–60 s prior to determining v ...

- Abstract:

Myxogastria is a group of protozoa characterized by cellular uninucleate amoeboflagellates (myxamoebae and flagellated swarm cell), acellular multinucleate plasmodia, and stationary spore‐bearing sporocarps. The Stemonitales is a large order in the Myxogastria and contains approximately 230 species, but only 13 species have their completed life cycles observed so far. Here, we described the life c ...

- Abstract:

The polar filament/polar tube when exiting the spore transports the sporoplasm through it into a host cell. While universal, these structures and processes have been enigmatic. This study utilized several types of microscopy, describing and extending our unde ...

- Abstract:
- ... Enterocytozoon hepatopenaei (EHP) is a newly emerging microsporidian parasite that causes growth retardation in cultured shrimp. Currently, EHP infection can be detected by standard polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based methods, as well as loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) methods that target EHP's small subunit (SSU) ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene (LAMP-SSU). However, this gene target has ...

Spore germination in C. difficile is regulated by the detection of bile salt germinants and amino acid cogerminants by pseudoproteases CspC and CspA, respectively. The germinant signal is transduced to the serine protease CspB, which processes the cortex lyti ...

Here we demonstrate that c-di-GMP also intervenes later in development to control differentiation of ...
