Gear effectiveness was examined by comparing CPUE (CPUE as number of crab per trap per haul, and g per trap haul), mean weight of individual crabs, catch composition and width frequency distributions of the blue crab for each gear.
Characterisation Of An Exopolysaccharide Preventing Phage Adsorption In Lactococcus Lactis Subsp. Cremoris Ma39, Mustafa Akçeli̇k, Pinar Şanlibaba
Characterisation Of An Exopolysaccharide Preventing Phage Adsorption In Lactococcus Lactis Subsp. Cremoris Ma39, Mustafa Akçeli̇k, Pinar Şanlibaba
Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences
Lactococcus lactis subsp. cremoris strain MA39 produces an extracellular polysaccharide containing rhamnose, glucose and galactose. A 16.5 kb plasmid encoding exopolysaccharide production in MA39 was determined by plasmid curing experiments. Phage adsorption assays showed that four different lactococcal phages were adsorbed to MA39-40; only the 16.5 kb plasmid cured an exopolysaccharide non-producing mutant of strain MA39, with high efficiency (93.2-98.5%) while adsorption of these phages was completely inhibited in the wild type strain MA39. These results suggest that exopolysaccharide prevents phage adsorption by masking phage receptor sites.
Thymic Nurse Cells Determined In Situ At The Light And Electron Microscopic Level, F. Fi̇gen Kaymaz, Atti̇la Dağdevi̇ren
Thymic Nurse Cells Determined In Situ At The Light And Electron Microscopic Level, F. Fi̇gen Kaymaz, Atti̇la Dağdevi̇ren
Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences
Thymic nurse cells are isolated thymic epithelial/thymocyte complexes described in vitro. Their in vivo existence is controversial. We examined rat thymi in order to distinguish thymic nurse cells in vivo using the zinc iodide-osmium tetroxide (ZIO) fixation/staining technique. There were mainly two types of strongly ZIO reactive cells in the thymic cortex: macrophages and small clusters of thymic epithelial cells. The latter group was composed of thymic epithelial cells and intact thymocytes forming complexes. Thus we suggest that these structures are in situ equivalents of thymic nurse cells.

Histopathology Of The Epidermal Papilloma In Cage Cultured Mirror Carp (Cyprinus Carpio) In Eğirdir Lake, Öznur Di̇ler, M. Rüştü Özen
Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences
In this study, the histopathology of enzootic epidermal papillomas in cage cultured mirror carp from the Liman region of Eğirdir Lake was investigated. Macroscopically, the lesions were creamy-white, had a villus-like structure and were localised in the operculum, lateral line and fins. Histopathological studies showed that lesions were the result of hyperplasia of fibrous connective tissue and epidermal tissues. The cells of both tissues were faintly stained by HxE and PAS. Under light microscopy, cytoplasmic vacuolation in epidermal cells in the lesions was prominent. Mucous cells were relatively common and larger than normal. Chemotherapy effectively cured all lesions.
