A new C-type lectin similar to the human immunoreceptor DC-SIGN mediates symbiont acquisition by a marine nematode

Article Abstract:

A novel [Ca.sup.2+]- dependent mannose-specific lectin that is exclusively secreted onto the posterior, bacterium-associated region of Laxus oneistus cutile is identified. The study provides evidence that a soluble, secreted, mannose-specific C-type lectin (CTL) mediates symbiont acquisition from the environment by laxus oneistus.

Effect of feeding cows genetically modified maize on the bacterial community in the bovine rumen

Article Abstract:

effect of feeding rumen-cannulated cows with silage made from either conventional or genetically modified (GM) maize is examined. The results have shown no effects of GM maize on the dynamics of six ruminal bacterial strains when compared to the conventional maize silage.

Culturable psychotropic bacterial communities in raw milk and their proteolytic and lipolytic traits

Article Abstract:

The diversity, dynamics and enzymatic traits of culturable psychrotrophs in raw milk are examined. The composition of psychrotrophic bacterial flora in raw milk has played a vital role in determining the quality of milk.
