New Hosts of Simplicimonas similis and Trichomitus batrachorum Identified by 18S Ribosomal RNA Gene Sequences by Kris Genelyn B. Dimasuay, Orlie John Y. Lavilla, Windell L. Rivera

“…Genomic DNA was extracted using Chelex method and the 18S rRNA gene was successfully amplified through novel sets of primers and undergone DNA sequencing. Aligned isolate sequences together with retrieved 18S rRNA gene sequences of known trichomonads were utilized to generate phylogenetic trees using maximum likelihood and neighbor-joining analyses. …”

The SsDREB Transcription Factor from the Succulent Halophyte Suaeda salsa Enhances Abiotic Stress Tolerance in Transgenic Tobacco by Xu Zhang, Xiaoxue Liu, Lei Wu, Guihong Yu, Xiue Wang, Hongxiang Ma

“…This protein was classified in the A-6 group of DREB subfamily based on multiple sequence alignments and phylogenetic characterization. Yeast one-hybrid assays showed that SsDREB protein specifically binds to the DRE sequence and could activate the expression of reporter genes in yeast, suggesting that the SsDREB protein was a CBF/DREB transcription factor. …”

Isolation and Characterization of Gram-Negative Bacterial Species from Pasteurized Dairy Products: Potential Risk to Consumer Health by Solomon H. Mariam

“…None tested positive for phenotypic gelatin hydrolysis but exhibited alpha- or beta-hemolysis. Sequence alignments of 16S rRNA gene partial sequences suggested up to 99% sequence similarities to subspecies of Salmonella enterica. …”

Clinico¬pathological features and phylogenetic analysis of rabies infection in local Iraqi breed cattle by M. H. Hussain, Kh. A. Mansour, S. A. A. Al-Redah, A. J. Abid

“…The phylogenetic analysis revealed variations at a total of 24 places in multiple sequence alignments between two field rabies virus nucleotide sequences from the current investigation (>MW893685 and >MW893684) and 48 GenBank nucleotide sequences, including the reference strain (>NC_001542). …”

Species classification of Tabanus (Diptera: Tabanidae) in Western Thailand: Integrating DNA barcoding and modern morphometrics by Tanasak Changbunjong, Thekhawet Weluwanarak, Sedthapong Laojun, Tanawat Chaiphongpachara

“…To enhance the reliability of species identification, DNA barcoding was employed to analyze 30 cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (cox1) gene sequences from 15 horse fly species, which were then compared with sequences in the GenBank and BOLD databases. Most cox1 sequences aligned with existing data, with similarity percentages ranging from 96% to 100%. …”

Identification and expression analysis of c-type and g-type lysozymes genes after Aeromonas hydrophila infection in African catfish by Hasan Nasrullah, Yanti Inneke Nababan, Dwi Hany Yanti, Dian Hardiantho, Sri Nuryati, Muhammad Zairin Junior, Julie Ekasari, Alimuddin Alimuddin

“…Catalytic and other conserved residues were identified by multiple sequences alignment and they showed high similarity with other teleost fish species. mRNA levels of the genes were analyzed by using qPCR method and their expressions in the spleen, liver, and head kidney were rapidly modulated after Aeromonas hydrophila injection, with different patterns were observed in each organ. …”
