INTRODUCTION: The study of natural variation of metabolites brings valuable information on the physiological state of the organisms as well as their phenotypic traits. In marine organisms, metabolome variability has mostly been addressed through targeted studies on metabolites of...
Genus scallopus(Mizuhopecten yessoensis), a commercially important shellfish species in China, suffers a persistently high post-spawning mortality rate, severely constraining industry development. Thus, this study investigated the physiological and molecular impact of reproductive activity on M. ...
BolA has been characterized as an important transcriptional regulator, which is induced in the stationary phase of growth and is often associated with bacterial virulence. This study was initiated to elucidate the role of the BolA in the virulence of K. pneumoniae. Using a mous...
