Antimicrobial Peptides from Fish
Antimicrobial Peptides from Fish Jorge A. Masso-Silva and Gill Diamond Pharmaceuticals 2014, 7(3), 265-310; doi:10.3390/ph7030265 “AMP” = antimicrobial peptide Piscidins exhibit potent antimicrobial activity against a variety of microorganisms. They are widely active against bacteria Gram-positive and -negative species… Piscidins have also been shown to possess anti-fungal activity, anti-parasitic activity, and anti-viral activity. Piscidins are mainly expressed in […]
Response of heterotrophic bacteria, autotrophic picoplankton and heterotrophic nanoflagellates to re-oligotrophication
Response of heterotrophic bacteria, autotrophic picoplankton and heterotrophic nanoflagellates to re-oligotrophication Norbert Kamjunke, Dietmar Straile, Ursula Gaedke J Plankton Res 2009; 31 (8): 899-907. doi: 10.1093/plankt/fbp037 Overall, bacterial biomass did not change during re-oligotrophication, whereas chlorophyll-specific biomass of bacteria increased, APP biomass and phosphorus concentration showed a unimodal pattern and HNF biomass strongly declined with decreasing […]
Life without a cell membrane: Challenging the specificity of bacterial endophytes within Bryopsis (Bryopsidales, Chlorophyta)
Life without a cell membrane: Challenging the specificity of bacterial endophytes within Bryopsis (Bryopsidales, Chlorophyta) BMC Microbiology 2011 11:255 DOI: 10.1186/1471-2180-11-255 Once again a link about the pest algae Bryopsis. This algae tends to plague many unstable reef aquariums. After someone treating a fungal infection in fish coincidentally noticed Bryopsis die-off in their tank, folks have been using fluconazole to treat […]
