A VIRB4 ATPASE OF THE MOBILE ACCESSORY GENOME ORCHESTRATES CORE GENOME-ENCODED FEATURES OF PHYSIOLOGY, METABOLISM, AND VIRULENCE OF PSEUDOMONAS AERUGINOSA TBCF10839

A VirB4 ATPase of the mobile accessory genome orchestrates core genome-encoded features of physiology, metabolism, and virulence of Pseudomonas aeruginosa TBCF10839

Pseudomonas aeruginosa TBCF10839 is a highly virulent strain that can persist and replicate in human neutrophils.Screening of a signature-tagged mutagenesis (STM) TBCF10839 transposon library in phagocytosis tests identified a mutant that carried the transposon in the VirB4 homolog 5PG21 of an integrative and conjugative element (ICE)-associated ty

Compensation effect of winter wheat grain yield reduction under straw mulching in wide-precision planting in the North China Plain

Abstract Climate change and the growing demand for food security force growers to identify ways both to improve food production and to reduce agricultural carbon emissions.Although straw mulching is known to decrease CO2 emissions, winter wheat grain yield in the North China Plain was declined under straw mulching.In an effort to determine the most

Device performance enhancement via a Si-rich silicon oxynitride buffer layer for the organic photodetecting device

Abstract An advanced organic photodetector (OPD) with a butter layer of Si-rich silicon oxynitride (SiOxNy) was fabricated.The detector structure is as follows: Indium tin oxide (ITO) coated glass substrate/SiOxNy(10 nm)/naphthalene-based donor:C60(1:1)/ITO.Values of x and y in SiOxNy were carefully controlled and the detector performances such as
