Spiroplasma and Its Interaction with Drosophila: Genome Sequencing and Analysis of Potential Fitness Effects of Naturally Infected Populations
(2017-01-23)
Intimate associations of maternally-inherited endosymbiotic bacteria and arthropods are ancient and taxonomically diverse. The nature of such relationships includes reproductive parasitism, as well as nutritional and ...
Producing Biolipids from Lignocellulose: Cultivation of Lipid-Accumulating Bacteria and Bacteriophage-based Lipid Extraction
(2016-12-09)
Biodiesel is a promising, clean, lipid-based biofuel that can be made from triacylglycerols (TAGs). However, TAG feedstocks and extraction of TAGs from the feedstocks are costly, making the price of biodiesel less competitive ...
