Expression of Enterocin A in Saccharomyces cerevisiaeNARA Subscribed
Recombinant expression in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae offers an alternative approach to developing large-scale production systems for class II bacteriocins from lactic acid bacteria, such as enterocin A, mundticin ST4SA and plantaricin 423. An important consideration for bacteriocin activity is disulphide bond formation: mature mundticin ST4SA has one, and plantaricin 423 and enterocin A each have two disulphide bonds....
Congo Basin Carbon Cycle Responses to Global ChangeNARA Subscribed
The Congo Basin and its contiguous forests harbor globally significant carbon stocks, estimated at 65 gigatons of C (GtC) above and belowground. Despite rising temperatures and intensifying droughts, they have remained a carbon sink, albeit weak: 0.26–0.50 GtC yr. −1 carbon uptake since 1980. However, these forests' carbon stocks and fluxes, including gross primary productivity, respiration, net primary productivity, and river...

Defining an ageing-related pathology, disease or syndrome: International Consensus StatementNARA Subscribed
Around the world, individuals are living longer, but an increased average lifespan does not always equate to an increased health span. With advancing age, the increased prevalence of ageing-related diseases can have a significant impact on health status, functional capacity and quality of life. It is therefore vital to develop comprehensive classification and staging systems for ageing-related pathologies, diseases and syndrom...
RNA-Seq time-course analysis of neural precursor cell transcriptome in response to herpes simplex Virus-1 infectionNARA Subscribed
The neurogenic niches within the central nervous system serve as essential reservoirs for neural precursor cells (NPCs), playing a crucial role in neurogenesis. However, these NPCs are particularly vulnerable to infection by the herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1). In the present study, we investigated the changes in the transcriptome of NPCs in response to HSV-1 infection using bulk RNA-Seq, compared to those of uninfected samples...
Documenting pollinators, floral hosts, and plant–pollinator interactions in U.S. P acific N orthwest agroecosystemsNARA Subscribed
The abundance and diversity of pollinator populations are in global decline. Managed pollinator species, like honey bees, and wild species are key ecosystem service providers in both natural and managed agroecosystems. However, relatively few studies have exhaustively characterized pollinator populations in diverse agroecosystems over multiple years, while also thoroughly documenting plant–pollinator interactions. Yet, such st...
Seventy five percent of the world's food crops benefit from insect pollination. Hence, there has been increased interest in how global change drivers impact this critical ecosystem service. Because standardized data on crop pollination are rarely available, we are limited in our capacity to understand the variation in pollination benefits to crop yield, as well as to anticipate changes in this service, develop predictions, and...
Residency time, migration route and survival of Atlantic salmon Salmo salar smolts in a Canadian fjordNARA Subscribed
Atlantic salmon Salmo salar smolts ( n = 181) from two rivers were surgically implanted with acoustic transmitters and released to determine migration route, residency time and survival in a 50 km long estuarine fjord located on the south coast of Newfoundland, Canada. Data obtained from automated receivers placed throughout the Bay d’Espoir fjord indicated that migrating smolts used different routes to reach the outer areas o...
