• Natural 'keystone molecules' punch over their weight in ecosystems

  Naturally occurring "keystone" molecules that have powerful behavioral effects on diverse organisms often play large but unrecognized roles in structuring ecosystems, according to a theory proposed in the June issue of BioScience. The authors of the theory, Ryan P. Ferrer of Seattle Pacific Universi more

• Cells must use their brakes moderately for effective speed control

  How cells regulate their own function by "accelerating and braking" is important basic knowledge when new intelligent medicines are being developed, or when plant cells are tweaked to produce more bioenergy. In a study published by Nature Communications, researchers at Uppsala and Umeå universities more

• New evidence on how fluoride fights tooth decay

  In an advance toward solving a 50-year-old mystery, scientists are reporting new evidence on how the fluoride in drinking water, toothpastes, mouth rinses and other oral-care products prevents tooth decay. Their report appears in the ACS journal Langumir.Karin Jacobs and colleagues explain that desp more

• Metagenomics Analysis Using the Genome Sequencer FLX System
  

  The Genome Sequencer FLX System from 454 Life Sciences and Roche Applied Science is a versatile sequencing platform suitable for a wide range of applications, including de novo sequencing and assembly of genomic DNA, transcriptome sequencing, small RNA analysis, and amplicon sequencing. The Genome Sequencer FLX is built upon 454 Sequencing technology that enables long read lengths and very high single-read accuracy. One application in which the technology is accelerating the field's understanding is metagenomics. more

• Looxster® - Enrichment and isolation of bacterial DNA using Pureprove® Technology
  

  Detection of the bacterial content of a specific sample, irrelevant from its source (i.e. Clinical, Food or Environmental), is not as straightforward as it seems. In clinical microbiology laboratories, the gold standard method for the detection of pathogens in patients suspected of systemic infections is the blood culture. However, this technique is known to have many drawbacks especially with regard to non-cultivable organisms, low abundance (longer lag phase) and patient's antibiotics treatment. more

• New Products for Cell Culture Analysis from Roche Innovatis
  

  The Roche Innovats product line is now available from Roche Applied Sciences. Below is a short introduction to three Roche Innovatis product lines designed for the complete analysis of cell cultures, from the simple determination of cell concentration to complex cellular screening. More information about Roche Innovatis products will appear in future issues of Biochemica more

• Annotation and structural elucidation of bovine milk oligosaccharides and determination of novel fucosylated structures

  Bovine milk oligosaccharides (BMOs) are recognized by the dairy and food industries, as well as by infant formula manufacturers, as novel, high-potential bioactive food ingredients. Recent studies revealed that bovine milk contains complex oligosaccharides structurally related to those previously t more

• Gene Duplication Is Infrequent in the Recent Evolutionary History of RNA Viruses

  Gene duplication generates genetic novelty and redundancy and is a major mechanism of evolutionary change in bacteria and eukaryotes. To date, however, gene duplication has been reported only rarely in RNA viruses. Using a conservative BLAST approach we systematically screened for the presence of d more

• Expression Divergence between Escherichia coli and Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium Reflects Their Lifestyles

  Escherichia coli K12 is a commensal bacteria and one of the best-studied model organisms. Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium, on the other hand, is a facultative intracellular pathogen. These two prokaryotic species can be considered related phylogenetically, and they share a large amount of t more
