Four Novel Species of Kastovskya (Coleofasciculaceae, Cyanobacteriota) from Three Continents with a Taxonomic Revision of Symplocastrum

Studies performed in North America, Africa, and South America have led to the isolation of four new species of Kastovskya, a filamentous cyanobacterial genus that before this manuscript had only one species, Kastovskya adunca from Chile.Kastovskya nitens and K.viridissima were isolated from soils on San Nicolas Island, K.sahariensis was isolated fr

The Risk Assessment of Debris Flow Hazards in Banshanmen Gully Based on the Entropy Weight-Normal Cloud Method

The debris flow is one of the geological hazards; its occurrence is complex, fuzzy, and random.And it is affected by many indices; a new multi-index assessment method is proposed to analyze the risk level of debris flow based on the entropy weight-normal cloud model in Banshanmen gully.The index weight is calculated by using the entropy weight meth

Case Report: Immune Mediated Necrotizing Myopathy With IgG Antibodies to 3-Hydroxy-3-Methylglutaryl-Coenzyme a Reductase (HMGCR) May Present With Acute Systolic Heart Failure

Involvement of cardiac muscle is felt to be very Canister uncommon in anti-HMGCR myopathy, and therefore early cardiac evaluation is not considered a high priority for this condition.We herein present the case of a 72 year-old woman admitted due to dyspnea and orthopnea, who, in retrospect, suffered from proximal more than distal muscle weakness fo

Dual function of a highly conserved bacteriophage tail completion protein essential for bacteriophage infectivity

Abstract Infection of bacteria by phages is a complex multi-step process that includes specific recognition of the host cell, creation of a temporary breach in the host envelope, End Cap Set Handlebar and ejection of viral DNA into the bacterial cytoplasm.These steps must be perfectly regulated to ensure efficient infection.Here we report the dual
