In ecotoxicology, the state of the art for effect assessment of chemical mixtures is through
multiple dose—response analysis of single compounds and their combinations. Investigating …

Bacteria can become dormant or form spores when they are starved for nutrients. Here, we
find that non-sporulating Bacillus subtilis cells can survive deep starvation conditions for …

There is mounting evidence that the ribosome is not a static translation machinery, but a cell-specific,
adaptive system. Ribosomal variations have mostly been studied at the protein …

STUDY QUESTION Is gene expression in human preimplantation embryos affected by the
medium used for embryo culture in vitro during an IVF treatment? SUMMARY ANSWER Six …

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic pathogen that causes considerable morbidity
and mortality, specifically during intensive care. Antibiotic-resistant variants of this organism …

Background Natural contamination and anthropogenic pollution of soils are likely to be major
determinants of functioning and survival of keystone invertebrate taxa. Soil animals will …

Single cell profiling was performed to assess differences in RNA accumulation in neighboring
hyphae of the fungus Aspergillus niger. A protocol was developed to isolate and amplify …

Increased ambient temperature is inhibitory to plant immunity including auto-immunity.
SNC1-dependent auto-immunity is, for example, fully suppressed at 28C. We found that the …

For ecological risk assessment, the additive model may be used to empirically predict toxic
mixture effects. Detailed toxicity tests were performed to determine whether effects of mixtures …

Aging and age‐related pathology is a result of a still incompletely understood intricate web
of molecular and cellular processes. We present a C 57 BL /6 J female mice in vivo aging …
