Revision of the Southeast Asian millipede genus Orthomorpha Bollman, 1893, with the proposal of a new genus (Diplopoda, Polydesmida, Paradoxosomatidae)

The large genus Orthomorpha is rediagnosed and is shown to currently comprise 51 identifiable species ranging from northern Myanmar and Thailand in the Northwest to Lombok Island, Indonesia in the Southeast.Of them, 20 species have been revised and/or abundantly illustrated, based on a restudy of mostly type material; further 12 species are describ

Formation of NifA-PII complex represses ammonium-sensitive nitrogen fixation in diazotrophic proteobacteria lacking NifL

Summary: Biological nitrogen fixation catalyzed by nitrogenase contributes greatly to the global nitrogen cycle.Nitrogenase expression is subject to regulation in response to nitrogen availability.However, the mechanism through which the transcriptional activator NifA regulates nitrogenase expression by interacting with PII nitrogen regulatory prot

Over-Expression of Cysteine Leucine Rich Protein Is Related to SAG Resistance in Clinical Isolates of Leishmania donovani.

BACKGROUND:Resistance emergence against antileishmanial drugs, particularly Sodium Antimony Gluconate (SAG) has severely hampered the therapeutic strategy against visceral leishmaniasis, the mechanism of resistance being indistinguishable.Cysteine leucine rich protein (CLrP), was recognized as one of the overexpressed proteins in resistant isolates
