Abstract Background Pseudomonas aeruginosa adhesion to animal/human cells for infection establishment involves adhesive proteins, including its galactose- and fucose-binding lectins PA-IL (LecA) and PA-IIL (LecB).The lectin binding to the target-cell receptors may be blocked by compatible glycans that compete with those of the receptors, functionin
Putative living entities called nanobacteria (NB) are unusual for their small sizes (50-500 nm), pleomorphic nature, and accumulation of hydroxyapatite (HAP), and have been implicated in numerous diseases involving extraskeletal calcification.By adding precipitating ions to cell culture medium containing serum, mineral nanoparticles are generated t
The proces of wine fermentation altogether with other factors have significant impact on the origin of blade blank broad bouquet and flavour spectrum of the wine, both used yeast strain and natural microflora of the grapes.The mechanism of the origin of sensoric most important groups of organic compounds - alcohols, esters, acetaldehydes, volatile
Cemetery landscapes are austere and generally require maintenance.The materials and equipment used for maintenance emit greenhouse gases (GHGs).This research aimed to quantify the annual GHG emissions and global warming potential (GWP) indices of traditional and natural cemeteries for more environmentally friendly green and grey facility planning o
The abundance of sperm relative to eggs selects for males that maximize their number of mates and for females that choose high quality males.However, in many species, males exercise mate choice, even when they invest little in their offspring.Sexual cannibalism may blade blank promote male choosiness by limiting the number of females a male can ins
