Population genomics of Sulfolobus islandicus: genome-wide recombination and antagonistic interactions
… to reinforce species boundaries. Finally, antagonistic interactions among these ten genome strains, as well as an expanded set of strains isolated from multiple hot springs and time points were catalogued and shown to correlate with genetic distance. Characterization of the genetic …

Alicaligenes faecalis : identification and study of its antagonistic properties against Botrytis cinerea
… at least two substances could be involved in the antagonistic interaction. One of these is a basic volatile substance and has been identified as ammonia. The other substance is a nonvolatile, dialysable, heat stable, polar compound released into the growth medium. After separation of growth medium …

Studies on growth and filtration of the antagonistic biocontrol yeast Cryptococcus albidus
… has been found to hinder the dewatering of the antagonistic biocontrol yeast Crytococcus albidus. Throught literature a hypothesis was developed that the extracellular polysaccharide produced by C. albidus is the major cause of hindrance to the filtration process. Microscopic analysis of C. …

Sisters' curse: sexually antagonistic selection constrains the spread of a rare mitochondrial haplogroup
Females produce relatively few, large and costly eggs. By contrast, males produce large numbers of small and physiologically inexpensive sperm. This differential investment in gametes has long been identified as a force driving the evolution of divergent mating tactics in the sexes. In most …

Novel antagonistic bacteria as prospective agents for the biocontrol of some plant bacterial diseases
… Reduction of fire blight disease severity by antagonistic bacteria was demonstrated by Vanneste,(1996, 2000). Bacillus subtilis is well known as biocontrol agent in soil conditions (Bochow, 1992). Pantoea agglomerans is an epiphytic as well as a soil inhabitants too Brenner (1983) and Vanneste …

Beyond Antagonistic Nonprofit Accountability: A Case Analysis of Practitioner Responses to the Contracting Regime
… to navigate outside of the contracting regime\'s antagonistic framing and engage both with powerful stakeholders and others in their organizations to negotiate changes. Drawing on the theoretical lens of agonism, I examine the context and characteristics of those responses to provide insights into …

Fire safety evaluation of multifunctional buildings - Special emphasis on antagonistic attacks and protection of sensitive areas
… building as well as an increased exposure to antagonistic attacks create new, not previously well analyzed problems for fire safety. A method for selection and evaluation of fire scenarios in multifunctional buildings has been developed. The evaluation method is based on the performance-based …

Identification and Optimization of the Antagonistic Potential of Native Spinach Microbiota towards Escherichia coli O157:H7
… was investigated and we attempted to improve the antagonistic potential in vitro and on spinach leaves when cellobiose, a carbon source utilized by the antagonists but not E. coli O157:H7, was added. There were larger culturable populations of bacteria on the leaves of savoyed cultivars compared …

Excitation-Contraction Coupling: The Effect of Calcium Channel Antagonistic Drugs on Reprimed and Inactivated Skinned Skeletal Muscle Fibers
Contracture of skinned (sarcolemma removed), skeletal muscle fibers can be elicited by sudden changes in the ionic composition of the myoplasm. The bulk of evidence in the literature suggests that such contracture of skinned fibers is triggered by depolarization of resealed transverse tubules. If …

Antagonistic Roles of miR-199a-3p/miR-214 and the miR-200 Family in the Regulation of Uterine Contractility During Pregnancy and Labor
Progesterone (P4) and estradiol-17β (E2) play critical and opposing roles in regulating myometrial quiescence and contractility during pregnancy and labor (Kamel et al., 2010). While these contrasting hormonal effects are likely mediated via differential regulation of inflammatory and contractile …

The effects of perturbation frequency, magnitude, and uncertainty during static and dynamic tracking on the estimated level of muscle co-contraction
… performed to investigate the predictability of antagonistic muscle forces during static and dynamic tracking tasks with perturbations. In the first experiment, perturbations to the isometric tracking were effected by sudden momentary changes in the gain. In the second experiment, perturbations …

THE ANTAGONISTIC AND MUTUALISTIC PLANT-INSECT INTERACTIONS OF PITCHER’S THISTLE (CIRSIUM PITCHERI [TORR. EX EAT.] TORR. & A. GRAY, ASTERACEAE), A FEDERALLY THREATENED GREAT LAKES DUNE AND COBBLE SHORE ENDEMIC PLANT
Biological control is one of the tools used for integrated pest management of invasive plant species but it is not without risks to native plants. I researched the non-target impacts of the biological control agent, the seed head weevil Larinus planus (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) on the Great Lakes …
