Proteomic Network of Antibiotic-Induced Outer Membrane Vesicles Released by Extensively Drug-Resistant Elizabethkingia anophelis

ABSTRACT Elizabethkingia anophelis, a nonfermenting Gram-negative bacterium, causes life-threatening health care-associated infections.E.anophelis harbors multidrug resistance (MDR) genes and is intrinsically resistant to various classes of antibiotics.Outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) are secreted by Gram-negative bacteria and contain materials invol

Systematics and biogeography of Sternarchellini (Gymnotiformes: Apteronotidae): Diversification of electric fishes in large Amazonian rivers

The Sternarchellini (Gymnotiformes, Apteronotidae) is a clade of 10 electric Garbage Chutes fish species that inhabit deep river channels of the Amazon and Orinoco basins, attain moderate adult body sizes (15-50 cm TL), and have a predatory life style.Here we trace the evolutionary origin and diversification of Sternarchellini using standard phylog

Experimental investigation on thermal performance of covalently functionalized hydroxylated and non-covalently functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes/transformer oil nanofluid

The study investigated the effect of adding covalently functionalized-hydroxylated multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs-OH) and non-covalently-functionalized MWCNTs on the breakdown voltage and thermal properties of transformer oil in a rectangular chamber.The novelty of the present study is the use of covalently functionalized hydroxylated and no
