agents responsible for a significant amount ofviral gastroenteritisand numerous deaths annually worldwide, the economically important insect-vectoredorbiviruses, and a variety of other viruses that infect animals, fungi, and plants. There have been increasing efforts to better understand other members of...
Early in their evolutionary history, sucking louse ancestors had simple chewing mouthparts and were free-living associates of the nests and burrows of vertebrates. These nests and burrows served as protective habitats as well as a source of unlimited food supplies such as fungi, dung, and organic...
Pneumocystis genomes are highly compact relative to other fungi, with substantial reductions of ribosomal RNA genes, transporters, transcription factors and many metabolic pathways, but contain expansions of surface proteins, especially a unique and complex surface glycoprotein superfamily, as well as ...
Because NRs have been identified in the three major divisions of eumeta-zoans—cnidarians, protostomes, and deuterostomes—we can conclude that the first NRs emergedsome time after the divergence of metazoans from fungi but before the Cnidarian-Bilateria divergence(Fig. 2). It has been argued...
lifestyle (Pahl et al.1988; Laurance1990; Laurance and Laurance1999), and are therefore among the least probable candidates for waif dispersal. Australia and New Guinea remained isolated from each other until the Pleistocene (Dow1977), when eustatic lowering of sea level allowed for interchange ...
Studies of odour-driven foraging by mammals focus on attractant cues emitted by flowers, fruits, and fungi. Yet, the leaves of many plant species worldwide produce odour, which could act as a cue for foraging mammalian herbivores. Leaf odour may thus improve foraging efficiency for such herbivor...
Similarly, fungi, such as Pleurotus ostreatus, Trametes versicolor, Trichosporon mycotoxinivorans, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Trichoderma strains, and Armillariella tabescens, transform AFB1 into less toxic forms [10]. F420H2-dependent reductases (FDRs) are produced by many Mycobacteria and are a unique...
Deregulation of this "life versus death" balance may result in several human diseases and disorders such as cancer, neurodegenerative disorders, and autoimmune diseases [2–5]. Mounting lines of evidence, over the last two decades, suggest that either hyper-regulation or hypo-regulation of ...
The GLYCOSCIENCES.de database currently contains a total of 23120 glycan and glycoconjugate records, of which 13704 records for diverse animal, plant, bacteria and fungi classes have some information concerning taxonomy. In the BCSDB there are a total of 8504 records for bacteria only, and 8479...
This review will not focus on DNA methylation in other species like plants, fungi, or arthropods, where many (though not all) of the basic processes are conserved, but additional phenomena are observed. We will also not present the details of DNA methylation recognition and processes involved ...
