DESCRIPTION OF LIFE STAGES OF DUNG BEETLE SCAPTODERA RHADAMISTUS (FABRICIUS, 1775) (COLEOPTERA: SCARABAEIDAE: SCARABAEINAE) WITH NOTES ON NESTING AND BIOLOGY

Immature stages of Scaptodera Bloomer Sets rhadamistus (Fabricius) are described for the first time along with notes on nidification and biology.The larvae differ from other Scarabaeinae species in the structure of raster on tenth sternum with two irregular bunches of serrations ventrally one on either half.Pupae with pronotum transverse having rou

Baskets This study reports the complete sequence of pE80, a conjugative IncFII plasmid recovered from an E.coli strain isolated from chicken meat.This plasmid harbors multiple resistance determinants including oqxAB, fosA3, blaCTX-M-55 and blaTEM-1, and is a close variant of the recently reported p42-2 element, which was recovered from E.coli of ve

INTRODUCTION: Genomic base composition ranges from less than 25% AT to more than 85% AT in prokaryotes.Since only a small fraction of prokaryotic genomes is not protein coding even a minor change in genomic base composition will induce profound protein changes.We examined how amino acid and codon frequencies were distributed in over 2000 microbial

A monoclonal antibody to apolipoprotein (apo) B-100 (JI-H) with unique binding properties has been used to separate a population of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins from blood plasma of normotriglyceridemic individuals and patients with various forms of hypertriglyceridemia.This antibody fails to recognize an apoE-rich population of very low density
