Something is defined by its absence. By eliminating the butyrate formation capability from Clostridium acetobutylicum, my recent paper demonstrates that butyrate acts as a 'growth factor' for this butyrate-forming bacterium, which is a historically representative industrial microbe for acetone-butanol-ethanol (ABE) fermentation. Butyrate may be contributing to post-translational modifications (PTMs) in various prokaryotes (bacteria and archaea), an area that is not well explored compared to eukaryotes.

Haploidy, Monosomy, Mosaicism, Triploidy and Balanced Translocation explained Ploidy is the number of complete sets of chromosomes in a cell, and hence the number of possible alleles for autosomal and pseudoautosomal genes. Sets of chromosomes refer to the number of maternal and paternal chromosome copies, respectively, in each homologous chromosome pair, which chromosomes naturally exist as.

Demonstrating the anti-inflammatory properties of extracellular vesicles derived from the microalga Tetraselmis chuii: in their latest work, Elia Di Schiavi, Antonella Bongiovanni at Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche and collaborators assessed the intrinsic biological properties of nanoalgosomes derived from marine microalgae Tetraselmis chuii cultures, using an optimised production protocol https://lnkd.in/e6bHU-td They demonstrated that nanoalgosomes, a novel type of EV, are efficiently taken up by cells through clathrin-dependent endocytosis and possess significant anti-inflammatory properties.

Aneuploid, Euploid, Polyploid, Tetraploid Polyploidy is a condition in which the cells of an organism have more than one pair of \(homologous\) chromosomes. Most species whose cells have nuclei \(eukaryotes\) are diploid, meaning they have two sets of chromosomes, where each set contains one or more chromosomes and comes from each of two parents, resulting in pairs of homologous chromosomes between sets. However, some organisms are polyploid. Polyploidy is especially common in plants. Aneuploidy is the presence of an abnormal number of chromosomes in a cell, for example a human cell having 45 or 47 chromosomes instead of the usual 46. It does not include a difference of one or more complete sets of chromosomes. A cell with any number of complete chromosome sets is called a euploid cell. Problem: Diploid Drosophila has eight chromosomes. Which one of the following terms should not be used to describe Drosophila with sixteen chromosomes? Justify your answer with suitable explanations. A\) Polyploid B\) Aneuploid C\) Euploid D\) Tetraploid Youtube video: https://lnkd.in/dqgFweQy \#nikolays_genetics_lessons

Arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM) is a symbiotic association (mutually beneficial relationship) between fungi of the phylum Glomeromycota and plant roots. The symbiont fungus (AMF) penetrates the cortical cells of the roots of a vascular plant forming arbuscules. Here a little bit more about arbuscules: 🌱Named by Gallaud in 1905 because they resemble little trees. 🌿Arbuscules are modified fungal hyphae that provide a large surface area for resource exchange. Created through repeated dichotomous branching and reductions in hyphal width. 📆 Begin forming approximately 2 days after root penetration (Brundrett et al. 1985). 🌾Grow inside individual root cortex cells, remaining outside their cytoplasm due to plasma membrane invagination . 🌱Considered the major site of exchange between the fungus and host plant. 🕒 Arbuscules are short-lived, collapsing after a few days . 🌱🌱Hyphae and vesicles can persist in roots for months or years .
