HIGH-LEVEL FLUORESCENCE LABELING OF GRAM-POSITIVE PATHOGENS.

High-level fluorescence labeling of gram-positive pathogens.

Fluorescence labeling of bacterial pathogens has a broad range of interesting applications including the observation of living bacteria within host cells.We constructed a novel vector based on the E.coli streptococcal shuttle plasmid pAT28 that can propagate in numerous bacterial species from different genera.The plasmid harbors a promoterless copy

The Bland-Altman method should not be used when one of the two measurement methods has negligible measurement errors.

BackgroundThe Bland-Altman limits of agreement (LoA) method is almost universally used to compare two measurement methods when the outcome is continuous, despite warnings regarding the often-violated strong underlying statistical assumptions.In settings where only a single measurement per individual has been performed and one of the two measurement

Comparison of the effect of silicon and nano-silicon on some biochemical and photosynthetic traits of Zea mays L. under salinity stress

Salinity stress is one of the factors that threatens the growth and yield of corn.The effects of silicon or nanosilicon on salinity alleviation have been reported in some plants.The effects of foliar application of silicon (inorganic and nanopatricle) on mitigation of the effects of salinity stress on some photosynthetic and biochemical parameters
