A Case Study for Microbial Biodegradation: Anaerobic Bacterial Reductive Dechlorination of Polychlorinated Biphenyls-From Sediment to Defined Medium
announce@annualreviews.org (Donna L. Bedard) Tue, 29 Jan 2008 19:33:35 -0000
Annual Review of Microbiology Volume 62, 10/13/2008. The history of anaerobic microbial polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) dechlorination is traced over 20 years using a case study of PCB dechlorination in the Housatonic River (Massachusetts) as an example. The history progresses from the characterization of ...
Viral Subversion of Apoptotic Enzymes: Escape from Death Row
announce@annualreviews.org (Sonja M. Best) Tue, 29 Jan 2008 19:33:34 -0000
Annual Review of Microbiology Volume 62, 10/13/2008. To prolong cell viability and facilitate replication, viruses have evolved multiple mechanisms to inhibit the host apoptotic response. Cellular proteases such as caspases and serine proteases are instrumental in promoting apoptosis. Thus, these enzymes ...
Base J: Discovery, Biosynthesis, and Possible Functions
announce@annualreviews.org (Piet Borst et al) Tue, 29 Jan 2008 19:33:36 -0000
Annual Review of Microbiology Volume 62, 10/13/2008. In 1993, a new base, β-d-glucopyranosyloxymethyluracil (base J), was identified in the nuclear DNA of Trypanosoma brucei. Base J is the first hypermodified base found in eukaryotic DNA. It is present in all kinetoplastid flagellates analyzed and some ...

Falls a Leading Cause of Injury-Related Emergency Department Visits for Infants Each Year, CDC Study Shows
Half of the estimated 328,500 infants 12 months of age or younger who were treated for injuries in hospital emergency departments each year from 2001 to 2004 were injured as a result of a fall, according to a study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
