Culturing marine bacteria from the genus Pseudoalteromonas on a cotton scaffold alters secondary metabolite production

Abstract The discovery of secondary metabolites from marine microorganisms is beset by numerous challenges including difficulties cultivating and subsequently eliciting expression of biosynthetic genes from marine microbes in the laboratory.In this paper, we describe a method of culturing three species from the marine bacterial genus Pseudoalteromo

INTRACELLULAR Ca2+ HOMEOSTASIS

Ca2+ signaling functions to regulate many cellular processes.Dynamics of Ca2+ signaling or homeostasis is regulated by the interaction between ON and OFF reactions that control Ca2+ flux in both the plasma membrane and internal organelles such as the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and mitochondria.External stimuli activate the Hygiene ON reactions, whi
