Cyanobacteria offer promise as alternative microorganisms to heterotrophic bacteria like Escherichia coli ( E. coli ) because of their ability for oxygenic photosynthesis, faster growth compared to plants, high solar conversion efficiencies, and smaller genomes more amenable to …
תסמונת דחק בתר-טראומטית נגרמת בעקבות חשיפה לגורם דחק אקוטי, בלתי נשלט ובלתי צפוי שעלול לגרום לפגיעה פסיכולוגית ותפקודית משמעותית. עם, המנגנונים הנוירוביולוגיים שעומדים מאחורי התסמונת אינם ברורים. על מנת להאיר מנגנונים אלה, נעשה שימוש במודלים שונים של התסמונת בבעלי חיים כמו טראומ…
The Australian sheep blowfly, Lucilia cuprina, and the New World screwworm (NWS), Cochliomyia hominivorax, are devastating insect pests that cause billions of dollars in damage each year. These insects cause myiasis in warm blooded mammals, in which the larvae feed from flesh of…
Plasmids are closed, circular pieces of DNA that are able to self-replicate and are carried by many bacteria. They provide unique functions for bacteria by allowing them to sexually replicate and to pass on genetic material between each other. Plasmids are also responsible for t…

Metabolic engineering is the practice of genetically optimizing metabolic and regulatory networks within cells to increase production and/or recovery of certain substance from cells. In Microbial Metabolic Engineering: Methods and Protocols expert researchers in the field detail…
Bacteria are the most ubiquitous of all organisms being responsible not only for a number of diseases but also for many of the chemical cycles on which life on earth depends. Vital to their genetic adaptability is the existence of autonomous genetic elements-plasmids-which promo…
