Insect glycerol transporters evolved by functional co-option and gene replacement
(Nature Research, 2015-07-17)
Transmembrane glycerol transport is typically facilitated by aquaglyceroporins in Prokaryota and Eukaryota. In holometabolan insects however, aquaglyceroporins are absent, yet several species possess ...
Lactic acid bacteria: reviewing the potential of a promising delivery live vector for biomedical purposes
(BMC, 2015-09-16)
Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) have a long history of safe exploitation by humans, being used for centuries in food production and preservation and as probiotic agents to promote human health. Interestingly, ...
Effect of animal mixing as a stressor on biomarkers of autophagy and oxidative stress during pig muscle maturation
(Elsevier, 2015-04-08)
The objective of this work was to study the postmortem evolution of potential biomarkers of autophagy (Beclin 1, LC3-II/LC3-I ratio) and oxidative stress (total antioxidant activity, TAA; superoxide ...
Diversity of Multi-Drug Resistant Avian Pathogenic Escherichia coli (APEC) Causing Outbreaks of Colibacillosis in Broilers during 2012 in Spain
(Public Library of Science, 2015-11-23)
Avian pathogenic Escherichia coli (APEC) are the major cause of colibacillosis in poultry production. In this study, a total of 22 E. coli isolated from colibacillosis field cases and 10 avian faecal ...
