A 40.7 kDa Rpp30/Rpp1 homologue is a protein subunit of Dictyostelium discoideum RNase P holoenzyme
(2007)RNase P is an essential and ubiquitous endonuclease that mediates the maturation of the 5' ends of all precursor tRNA molecules. The holoenzyme from Dictyostelium discoideum possesses RNA and protein subunits essential for ... -
Assessment of genetic structure of Greek brown hare (Lepus europaeus) populations based on variation in random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD)
(2002)The RAPD method was used to assess the genetic differentiation of brown hare (Lepus europaeus) populations from Central Greece. Greek wild populations were compared with samples from Austria, Poland, Germany, France, and ... -
Bacterial and archaeal phylotypes associated with distinct mineralogical layers of a white smoker spire from a deep-sea hydrothermal vent site (9 degrees N, East Pacific Rise)
(2006)A diffusely venting chimney spire from the East Pacific Rise (9 degrees N) was analysed by petrographic thin sectioning and 16S rRNA gene cloning and sequencing in parallel, to correlate microbial community composition ... -
Bacterial phylotypes associated with the digestive tract of the sea urchin Paracentrotus lividus and the ascidian Microcosmus sp
(2007)We used sequencing and phylogenetic analysis of PCR-amplified 16S rRNA genes from bacteria that are associated with the esophagus/pharynx, stomach and intestine of two marine sympatric invertebrates but with different ... -
Banana: cultivars, biotechnological approaches and genetic transformation
(2008)Genetic modification of banana has been considered as a path towards increasing the value of this crop according to health and nutrition in developing countries. Banana as a crop is one of the most important and widely ... -
Bird community characteristics as indicators of sustainable management in olive grove ecosystems of Central Greece
(2015)The role of breeding birds as indicators of sustainable management in olive groves was investigated. The data revealed significantly higher alpha diversity in organic and abandoned olive groves and maquis than in conventional ... -
Census of biodiversity in marine caves of the eastern Mediterranean Sea
(2015)Scientific information on the biodiversity of marine caves in the eastern Mediterranean is limited, especially when considering the extensively studied caves of the north-western and central Mediterranean. Aiming to enhance ... -
Changes of the bacterial assemblages throughout an urban drinking water distribution system
(2010)We analyzed the bacterial 16S rRNA gene diversity throughout the major components of the drinking water distribution system of a ca. 52,000-inhabitants city (Trikala City, Greece) in order to describe the changes of the ... -
Comparison of the Norway lobster (Nephrops norvegicus) gut bacterial communities using 16S rDNA clone libraries and pyrosequencing
(2013)By comparing 16S rDNA cloning and 454 pyrosequencing in the Nephrops norvegicus midgut, several common bacterial OTUs were detected. However, when only one method is to be selected, it needs to be considered whether the ... -
Cooperative Protocol for Analog Network Coding in Distributed Wireless Networks
(2010)The concept of analog network coding (ANC) considers the concurrent transmission of signals over the wireless medium so that they intentionally interfere. Higher network throughput can be achieved with ANC when an intended ... -
Detection of microcystins in Pamvotis lake water and assessment of cyanobacterial bloom toxicity
(2012)Lake Pamvotis is a shallow, eutrophic Mediterranean lake with ecological significance. This paper deals with the evaluation of cyanobacterial toxicity in Lake Pamvotis. ELISA and HPLC revealed the presence of significant ... -
Dietary differences are reflected on the gut prokaryotic community structure of wild and commercially reared sea bream (Sparus aurata)
(2014)We compared the gut prokaryotic communities in wild, organically-, and conventionally reared sea bream (Sparus aurata) individuals. Gut microbial communities were identified using tag pyrosequencing of the 16S rRNA genes. ... -
Differential expression of NMDA and AMPA receptor subunits in rat dorsal and ventral hippocampus
(2006)Several studies have demonstrated anatomical and functional segregation along the dorsoventral axis of the hippocampus. This study examined the possible differences in the AMPA and NMDA receptor subunit composition and ... -
Dissemination of Methicillin-Susceptible CC398 Staphylococcus aureus Strains in a Rural Greek Area
(2015)A large collection of Staphylococcus aureus including a. 745 clinically significant isolates that were consecutively recovered from human infections during 2012-2013, b. 19 methicillin- susceptible (MSSA), randomly selected ... -
Do Botanical Pesticides Alter the Structure of the Soil Microbial Community?
(2009)The effects of synthetic pesticides on the soil microbial community have been thoroughly investigated in the past mostly by culture-dependent methods and only few recent studies have used culture-independent approaches for ... -
ECONOMIC VALUE OF CONSERVATION. THE CASE OF THE EDIBLE SEA URCHIN Paracentrotus lividus
(2012)This paper presents a goods and services approach to determine the economic value of Paracentrotus lividus with the aim of clarifying the role of valuation in the management and conservation of marine biodiversity. More ... -
Effects of soil application of olive mill wastewaters on the structure and function of the community of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi
(2009)Recycling of olive mill wastewaters (OMW) into agricultural soils is a controversial issue since benefits to soil fertility should counterbalance potential short-term toxicity effects. We investigated the short-term effects ... -
Effects of Systemic Pesticides Imidacloprid and Metalaxyl on the Phyllosphere of Pepper Plants
(2013)Microbes inhabiting the phyllosphere of crops are exposed to pesticides applied either directly onto plant foliage or indirectly through soil. Although, phyllosphere microbiology has been rapidly evolving, little is still ... -
