Very little is known about how animals discriminate pathogens from innocuous microbes. To address this question, we examined infection-response gene induction in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans. We focused on genes that are induced in C. elegans by infection with the bacterial pathogen Pseudomon...
This research provides a thorough ecotoxicological evaluation of natural biopolymers (BP) and naturally modified polymers (NMP). The study focuses on biopolymers such as chitosan, xanthan, alginate, and carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), alongside NMPs like Jelucel HM 200 and Emwaxy Jel 100. Each polyme...
