Musica nelle istituzioni religiose del meridione d’Italia: ipotesi di confronto fra le Cappelle Reali di Napoli e Palermo
Questo articolo offre una panoramica della musicologia urbana nelle istituzioni musicali di Napoli e Palermo tra il XVI e il XVIII secolo, focalizzandosi sulle pratiche musicali e sulla circolazione della musica e dei musicisti all'interno delle rispettive città. In particolare si evidenzia la preminenza delle due Cappelle Reali, i legami con la corte di Madrid e i rapporti dei viceré con l'aristocrazia, nonché l'attività di committenza in territori politicamente complessi. Soprattutto Napoli, nel 'Siglo de Oro', costituì un polo di attrazione per molte personalità innovative, sul piano sia culturale che musicale, anche più importanti di quelle attive nella corte di Madrid. This article pro…
Multi-omics of Pseudoalteromonas haloplanktis TAC125: a quest for antimicrobial metabolic pathways
Backgrounds The Antarctic strain Pseudoalteromonas haloplanktis TAC125 is one of the model organisms of cold-adapted bacteria and is currently exploited as a new alternative expression host for numerous biotechnological applications. Interestingly, this bacterium has been reported to be able to inhibit the growth of Burkholderia cepacia complex (Bcc) strains, opportunistic pathogens responsible for the infection of immune-compromised patients. Most likely, this occurs through the synthesis of several different compounds, including Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), whose nature and characteristics are currently mostly unknown. Objectives To obtain a complete picture of cellular processes di…
Italian cancer figures, report 2014: Prevalence and cure of cancer in Italy
This Report intends to estimate the total number of people still alive in 2010 after cancer diagnosis in Italy, regardless of the time since diagnosis, and to project these estimates to 2015. This study is also aimed to estimate the number of already cured cancer patients, whose mortality rates have become undistinguishable from that of the general population of the same age and sex.The study took advantage of the information from the AIRTUM database, which included 29 Cancer Registries (covering 21 million people, 35% of the Italian population). A total of 1,624,533 cancer cases diagnosed between 1976 and 2009 contributed to the study. For each registry, the observed prevalence was calcula…

Pseudomonas corrugata crpCDE is part of the cyclic lipopeptide corpeptin biosynthetic gene cluster and is involved in bacterial virulence in tomato and in hypersensitive response in Nicotiana benthamiana
Summary: Pseudomonas corrugataCFBP 5454 produces two kinds of cyclic lipopeptides (CLPs), cormycin A and corpeptins, both of which possess surfactant, antimicrobial and phytotoxic activities. In this study, we identified genes coding for a putative non-ribosomal peptide synthetase and an ABC-type transport system involved in corpeptin production. These genes belong to the same transcriptional unit, designated crpCDE. The genetic organization of this locus is highly similar to other PseudomonasCLP biosynthetic clusters. Matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight-mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS) analysis revealed that transporter and synthetase genomic knock-out mutants were u…
