PSEUDOMONAS AERUGINOSA MOBBING-LIKE BEHAVIOR AGAINST ACANTHAMOEBA CASTELLANII BACTERIVORE AND ITS RAPID CONTROL BY QUORUM SENSING AND ENVIRONMENTAL CUES

ABSTRACT Mobbing, group attack of prey on predator, is a behavior seen in many animal species in which prey animals use numbers and coordination to counter individually superior predators.We studied attack behavior of Pseudomonas aeruginosa toward the bacterivore Acanthamoeba castellanii.This behavior consists of directed motility toward and specif

Summary: Thirteen-lined ground squirrels and Syrian hamsters are known for their ability to withstand cold during hibernation.We found that hibernators exhibit cold tolerance even in the active state.Imaging and electrophysiology of squirrel somatosensory neurons reveal a decrease in cold sensitivity of TRPM8-expressing cells.Characterization of sq

Apechthis Media Control Panel cantika sp.n.(Ichneumonidae: Pimplinae) is described from the island of Sulawesi, Indonesia.This is the first known representative of the genus in Indonesia and also the southernmost record of Apechthis in the Oriental region, extending the known distribution far southwards.Discovery of a second yellow Apechthis in the

This work presents an exact and compact formula for the probability of rotation-xor differentials (RX-differentials) through modular addition, for arbitrary rotation amounts, which has been a long-standing open problem.The formula comes with a rigorous proof and is also verified by extensive experiments.Our formula uncovers error in a recent work f

Abstract After coal extraction in underground mining, progressive fracturing occurs in both roof and floor strata, resulting in stress redistribution within these rock layers.Considering the fractures in the strata at roof and floor, an elliptical stress arch was introduced.This concept analyzed how the shape and structure of this arch evolved when
