Dispersal and regulation of an adaptive mutagenesis cassette in the bacteria domain
(Nucleic Acids Research, 2006-01-01)Recently, a multiple gene cassette with mutagenic translation synthesis activity was identified and shown to be under LexA regulation in several proteobacteria species. In this work, we have traced down ... -
Liquid Formulation of the Postharvest Biocontrol Agent Candida sake CPA-1 in Isotonic Solutions
(Phytopathology, 2003)Viability of the postharvest biocontrol agent Candida sake CPA-1 stored as liquid formulation was evaluated by studying the effect of growth, preservation medium, and temperature. C. sake was grown ... -
Identification of Three Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms in the Chicken Insulin-Like Growth Factor 1 and 2 Genes and Their Associations with Growth and Feeding Traits
(Poultry Science, 2003-10-01)The chicken insulin-like growth factor (IGF)1 and IGF2 genes have been partially sequenced in six individuals of each of two chicken strains of the Black Penedesenca breed (PN and MN). These two ... -
Improved Control of Postharvest Decay of Pears by the Combination of Candida sake (CPA-1) and Ammonium Molybdate
(Phytopathology, 2002)The potential enhancement of Candida sake (CPA-1) by ammonium molybdate to control blue and gray mold caused by Penicillium expansum and Botrytis cinerea, respectively, on Blanquilla pears was ... -
A Bayesian analysis of the effect of selection for growth rate on growth curves in rabbits
(Genetics Selection Evolution, 2003-01-15)Gompertz growth curves were fitted to the data of 137 rabbits from control (C) and selected (S) lines. The animals came from a synthetic rabbit line selected for an increased growth rate. The embryos ... -
Comparative Studies on the Relative Efficacy of DL-methionine and Liquid Methionine Hydroxy Analogue in Growing Pigs
