Larval immunity in burying beetle N. Apr 25, 2008 - International Journal of Biological Sciences, Impact Factor These results have facilitated the undertaking of further functional analyses of the constructed dsFv, and may therefore provide an improved technique for the production and application of dsFvs against HBsAg. Mar 10, 2014 - These interact in a complex way to contribute towards both health and the development of disease — interactions that are only now being elucidated thanks to the application of advanced DNA sequencing technology in this field. Interesting examples with potential applications are phages infecting P. Mar 8, 2007 - Bacteriophages: Biology and Applications provides unparalleled, comprehensive information on bacteriophages and their applications in agriculture, human therapy, and biotechnology. Keywords: It has been suggested that it can mimic the key features of the humoral immune system in vitro by expressing the antibody fragment gene repertoires on the surfaces of the bacteriophage (phage display). Mar 11, 2014 - The biological control, by bacteriophages, in raw animal by-products has not been studied. Acnes, a predominant member of the skin microbiota. Sep 27, 2013 - Bacteriophage Biology The word bacteriophage comes from the word bacteria and the Greek word phagein, which means "to devour" or "to eat." Bacteriophages are generally made of a shell of protein that contains DNA or RNA encoding a "genome" or . However, compared with France, much less phage research was published out of Russia, as its potential military applications to cure battlefield infections made the Soviets consider phage therapy as a state secret. Mar 21, 2013 - Viruses specifically infecting bacteria, or bacteriophages, are the most common biological entity in the biosphere. Even though being considered a skin commensal, P. This construct will be of direct use for various synthetic biology applications. As such, they greatly influence bacteria, both in terms of enhancing their virulence and in terms of killing them. Jan 27, 2014 - Sequencing the genome allowed researchers to identify the gene for lysin, an enzyme that the virus uses to kill bacterial cells, that has potential use as an antibiotic or disinfecting agent. We further show that it enables the gradual and independent induction of both AraC and LacI in a simultaneous manner. Second Place – Adam Riley & Jordan Lowry (Mentor: Curtis Creighton). Although several factors affect the effectiveness of phage treatment (temperature, humidity, phage attachment to bacterial cells) the application to raw meat to control spoilage microorganisms and extend shelf life of meat products has been reported to be successful. Bacteriophages were discovered in 1915 and have been used for controlling human pathogens for many years. Apr 9, 2014 - Reduction of Salmonella Typhimurium contamination on glass by application of bacteriophages.
