REPRODUCTIVE POTENTIAL OF POTATO ACCESSIONS FROM THE VIR COLLECTION IN MURMANSK PROVINCE by S. N. Travina, Т. Е. Zhigadlo

“…These conditions were formed under the sum of active air temperatures from 1170 to 1300°С (for June, July, and August), combined with insufficient provision of precipitation. Under the natural conditions in the north, the lack of moisture stimulates plants to enter the stages of flowering and fruit setting quicker and more intensively.Conclusion: The study made it possible to identify the optimal conditions for the fruit to be set by a potato plant in the north and also to acquire more data on the reproduction characteristics of potato cultivars.…”

A gut-derived Streptococcus salivarius produces the novel nisin variant designated nisin G and inhibits Fusobacterium nucleatum in a model of the human distal colon microbiome by Garreth W. Lawrence, Enriqueta Garcia-Gutierrez, A. Kate O’Mahony, Calum J. Walsh, Paula M. O'Connor, Máire Begley, Caitriona M. Guinane, Paul D. Cotter

The nisin G gene cluster consists of nsgGEFABTCPRK with transposases encoded between the nisin G structural gene (nsgA) and nsgF, notably lacking an equivalent to the nisI immunity determinant. …”
