The mammalian intestinal tract contains a complex microbial ecosystem with many lysogens, which are bacteria containing dormant phages (prophages) inserted within their genomes. Approximately half of intestinal viruses are derived from lysogens, suggesting that these bacteria encounter triggers that promote
Sugarcane (interspecific hybrids of Saccharum species) is an economically important crop that provides 70% of raw table sugar production worldwide and contributes, in some countries, to bioethanol and electricity production. Leaf scald, caused by the bacterial plant pathogen Xanthomonas albilineans
In Leishmania, arginase is responsible for the production of ornithine, a precursor of polyamines required for proliferation of the parasite. In this work, the activation kinetics of immobilized arginase enzyme from L. (L.) amazonensis were studied by varying the concentration
