1. Ultrastructure of phagocytes and oocysts of Nematopsis sp. (Apicomplexa, Porosporidae) infecting Crassostrea rhizophorae in Northeastern Brazil
Resumo Este trabalho descreve a morfologia ultraestrutural detalhada do fagócito encarcerando um oocisto de Nematopsis (Apicomplexa) encontrado em Crassostrea rhizophorae, na cidade de Maceió (AL), Brasil. Os hospedeiros muito infectados apresentavam valvas entreabertas com retração fraca e lenta dos músculos abdutores. Número variável de oócitos de

2. Técnicas de bioinformática aplicadas ao estudo de poligalacturonases de fungos
Plant cell walls are composed of approximately 65% cellulose microfibrils and pectin. The latter is proteolytically degraded by the so-called pectinases enzymes (also known as pectinolytic enzymes). Pectinases may be either depolymerizing. They are produced by plants, filamentous fungi, bacteria, and yeast. Due to the wide commercial use of pectinase, one ha

3. Disruption of the peritrophic matrix by exogenous chitinase feeding reduces fecundity in Lutzomyia longipalpis females
Lutzomyia longipalpis is the most important vector of visceral leishmaniasis in Brazil. When female sandflies feed on blood, a peritrophic matrix (PM) is formed around the blood bolus. The PM is secreted by midgut cells and composed of proteins, glycoproteins and chitin microfibrils. The PM functions as both a physical barrier against pathogens present in th

4. Fine structure of Henneguya hemiodopsis sp. n. (Myxozoa), a parasite of the gills of the Brazilian teleostean fish Hemiodopsis microlepes (Hemiodontidae)
A fish-infecting myxosporean, Henneguya hemiodopsis sp. n., found infecting the gills of Hemiodopsis microlepis and collected from the Poty River near the city of Teresina, Brazil, was described based on ultrastructural studies. The parasite occurred within large whitish polysporic plasmodia (up to 200 μm in diameter) containing asynchronous developmental s

5. Análise de polimorfismos do gene da fibrilina-1 em indivíduos portadores de hérnia inguinal através do seqüenciamento de DNA / Polymorphisms analysis of the fibrillin-1 gene in individuals with inguinal hernia by DNA sequencing
The inguinal hernia is a multifactorial disease that emerge from the Fruchaud orifice, closed only by the transversalis fascia. Lately it has been showed that disorders on the connective tissue elements, as the collagen and elastic fibers, are related to the inguinal hernia genesis. Previous studies have showed structural and quantitative changes of the elas

6. Extra-cellular matrix changes in Schistosoma mansoni-infected Biomphalaria glabrata
Reactivity of snails against parasites exhibits a primitive focal reaction, with encapsulation, phagocytosis and destruction of parasite larvae by macrophage-like cells - the hemocytes. This reaction mimics granulomatous inflammation seen in higher animals. However, different from the latter, little is known about the participation of extra-cellular matrix i

7. O efeito da temperatura na ação da xiloglucano endo-beta-transglicosilase sobre xiloglucanos de reserva
Xyloglucan is a cell wall polysaccharide structurally based on a backbone of p-1,4 linked glucosyl residues (similar to cellulose), which is branched with xylose (at a0-6 position) in a fairly regular formo Xyloses at certain positions are branched with galactosyl residues at p-0-2 positions and further with fucosyl or arabinosyl residues are attached to cer

8. Microfibrils provide non-linear elastic behaviour in the abdominal artery of the lobster Homarus americanus.
1. Microfibrils are becoming increasingly recognized as an important component of the extra-cellular matrix. However, almost nothing is known about their mechanical role in the diversity of tissues in which they are found. 2. Microfibrils form the principal structural component in the wall of the abdominal artery of the lobster Homarus americanus. We have us

9. Production of Cellulose Microfibrils by Rhizobium1
Electron microscope examination of Rhizobium spp. revealed microfibrils produced by flocculating strains but not by nonflocculating strains. The microfibrils from R. trifolii (NA30) were isolated and identified as cellulose by enzymatic, X-ray diffraction, and infrared spectral analyses. Both infective and noninfective strains of R. trifolii flocculated and

10. Microfibrils of blood platelets: their relationship to microtubules and the contractile protein
Human blood platelets were subjected to osmotic shock, brief sonication, pressure homogenization, or treatment with adenosine diphosphate (ADP). These procedures demonstrated an abundance of cytoplasmic microfibrils. The fibrils resembled those found on electron microscopy of partially purified thrombosthenin, the actomyosin-like protein isolated from platel

11. Alteration of Oriented Deposition of Cellulose Microfibrils by Mutation of a Katanin-Like Microtubule-Severing Protein
It has long been hypothesized that cortical microtubules (MTs) control the orientation of cellulose microfibril deposition, but no mutants with alterations of MT orientation have been shown to affect this process. We have shown previously that in Arabidopsis, the fra2 mutation causes aberrant cortical MT orientation and reduced cell elongation, and the gene

12. In situ synthesis of β-glucan microfibrils on tobacco plasma membrane sheets
A major concern in plant morphogenesis is whether cortical microtubules are responsible for the arrangement and action of β-glucan synthases in the plasma membrane. We prepared isolated plasma membrane sheets with cortical microtubules attached and tested whether β-glucan synthases penetrated through the membrane to form microfibrils and whether these synt
