Quorum Sensing In Gram-Negative Bacteria, Gülgün Boşgelmez Tinaz Jan 2003

Quorum Sensing In Gram-Negative Bacteria, Gülgün Boşgelmez Tinaz

Turkish Journal of Biology

It has become increasingly and widely recognised that bacteria do not live as isolated entities but instead exist as communities that exploit elaborate systems of intercellular communication to facilitate their adaptation to changing environmental conditions. A well-characterised example of such intercellular communication is quorum sensing. Quorum sensing depends on the production of diffusible signal molecules termed autoinducers or pheromones, which enable a bacterium to monitor its own cell population density. A variety of physiological processes in a range of bacterial species is regulated by quorum sensing. Examples include bioluminescence, antibiotic biosynthesis, swarming, biofilm differentiation, conjugation and the production of virulence …

Melatonin Implants Have No Effect On The Testis Volume And Body Weight In Mongolian Gerbils, Alper Karakaş, Bülent Gündüz Jan 2003

Melatonin Implants Have No Effect On The Testis Volume And Body Weight In Mongolian Gerbils, Alper Karakaş, Bülent Gündüz

Turkish Journal of Biology

Photoperiod is an important environmental cue in the regulation of reproductive activity in Mongolian gerbils. Photoperiodic information is ultimately transduced into a hormonal signal by the pineal gland. We examined the effect of constant-release melatonin capsules on the testicular size and body weights of male Mongolian gerbils exposed to a long (14L: 10D) photoperiod. Three groups were formed: control (n = 10), intact + melatonin implant (n = 10) and pinealectomy + melatonin implant (n = 10). The testes and body weights of the gerbils were recorded every week for 8 weeks. Body weights (76 ± 2.0 g intact + …

Turkish Journal of Medical Sciences

Infectious complications are major causes of morbidity and mortality following major hepatic resection. We investigated in rats the incidence and time course of bacterial translocation after partial hepatectomy during ischemia and reperfusion. Forty-eight male Wistar rats weighing 230 to 280 g were studied. Partial liver warm ischemia was performed for 15 min followed by reperfusion for 15 min. During a second 15 min of ischemia, 70% hepatectomy was performed. The animals were divided into six groups of eight animals each. Animals were sacrificed 8, 16, 24, 48, 72, and 120 h after the hepatectomy. At each time point blood was …

Application Of Gene Transfer Technology For Genetic Improvement Of Fish, Ali̇ye Sarmaşik Jan 2003

Application Of Gene Transfer Technology For Genetic Improvement Of Fish, Ali̇ye Sarmaşik

Turkish Journal of Zoology

The worldwide decline of natural fish stocks, the accumulation of chemical pollutants in aquatic environments and increasing world consumption of fish products has provided an impetus in many countries for a rapid growth in aquaculture. Fish produced from aquaculture currently account for over one-fourth of fish consumed by humans. However, success in aquaculture mainly depends on breeding, feeding and protection from disease. Application of recombinant DNA technology in aquaculture can help to improve these requirements.

Age-Dependent Cranial Variations In Mesocricetus Brandti (Mammalia: Rodentia) Distributed In Turkey, Nuri̇ Yi̇ği̇t

Turkish Journal of Zoology

Animals were assigned to four age groups according to molar wear, field notes and external and cranial measurements. Six days-old animals were referred to newborn, up to 30 days as young and thereafter as adult; animals with very worn molars were considered old. In addition to the statistical differences among age groups, it was determined that the main morphological differences were in the interorbital constriction, the shape of the braincase, the ridges and the position of occipital condyles. While the incisors and the first molars erupted in seven days-old animals, the second and third molars begun to erupt after seven …
