Plasmid Viability Depends on the Ecological Setting of Hosts within a Multiplasmid Community
2022
Plasmids are extrachromosomal genetic elements, some of which disperse horizontally between different strains and species of bacteria. They are a major factor in the dissemination of virulence factors and antibiotic resistance. Understanding the ecology of plasmids has a notable anthropocentric value, and therefore, the interactions between bacterial hosts and individual plasmids have been studied in detail. However, bacterial systems often carry multiple genetically distinct plasmids, but dynamics within these multiplasmid communities have remained unstudied. Here, we set to investigate the survival of 11 mobilizable or conjugative plasmids under five different conditions where the hosts h…
PRD1-viruksen vaikutus bakteerisoluihin, jotka sisältävät antibioottivastustuskyvyn antavan plasmidin
2010
Antibioottiresistenssi luokitellaan ihmisen terveyden suurimmaksi uhaksi. Antibioottiresistenssi lisääntyy bakteeripopulaatiossa konjugatiivisen plasmidin sisältävien bakteerien välityksellä jopa eri bakteerilajien välillä. PRD1-virus infektoi N-, P- ja W-tyypin konjugatiivisia plasmideja kantavia bakteereja. Tämän työn tarkoituksena oli selvittää, voisiko PRD1-viruksen avulla poistaa bakteeripopulaation vastustuskyky antibiooteille. Tätä testattiin kasvattamalla antibiooteille vastustuskykyisiä bakteereja ilman virusta ja viruksen läsnä ollessa. Bakteerien kasvukäyrät mitattiin lisäksi eri kasvuympäristöissä. Tulosten mukaan virus pudottaa populaation antibioottiresistenssin 100 %:sta jopa…
Indirect Selection against Antibiotic Resistance via Specialized Plasmid-Dependent Bacteriophages
2021
Antibiotic resistance genes of important Gram-negative bacterial pathogens are residing in mobile genetic elements such as conjugative plasmids. These elements rapidly disperse between cells when antibiotics are present and hence our continuous use of antimicrobials selects for elements that often harbor multiple resistance genes. Plasmid-dependent (or male-specific or, in some cases, pilus-dependent) bacteriophages are bacterial viruses that infect specifically bacteria that carry certain plasmids. The introduction of these specialized phages into a plasmid-abundant bacterial community has many beneficial effects from an anthropocentric viewpoint: the majority of the plasmids are lost whil…

Effect of substrate rigidity on distribution of nuclear actin and lamin A
2016
Tämä tutkimus keskittyi analysoimaan, onko solun ulkopuolisen ympäristön jäykkyydellä vaikutusta tuman sisäisten proteiinien jakautumiseen. Tuman mekanosensitiivisyyden vaikutusta lamiini A:n ja aktiinin sijaintiin tumassa tutkittiin soluilla, joita kasvatettiin eri jäykkyisillä kasvualustoilla. Kokeissa laskettiin lamiini A:n suhteellinen määrä vertaamalla tumalevyyn sitoutunutta ja tumassa vapaana olevaa lamiini A:ta, sekä suhteellinen määrä aktiinille vertaamalla tumansisäisen aktiinin määrää solulimassa olevaan. Kahta eri jäykkyistä (1,5 kPa ja 33 kPa Youngin moduluksella) polyakryyliamidi (PAA)-geeliä käytettiin säädettävänä kasvualustana soluille. Näillä geeleillä kasvatettiin hiiren …

Influence of accelerated ageing conditions on the process of polyolefines degradation
2003
The process of polymers weathering and the methods of polymers weathering and accelerated ageing investigations were characterized. Accelerated ageing tests of polyethylene and polypropylene samples have been done in laboratory conditions. The ageing time (up to 400 h) influence, at various levels of ageing factors: UV radiation intensity (80—190 W/m2), temperature (35—55 °C) and humidity (30—90%), on the changes of the structures of polymers investigated (shares of carbonyl and olefinic groups from FT-IR spectra — Fig. 1, 2, 4 and 5), on the changes of polymers molecular weights (Fig. 3 and 6, Table 1) and on the changes of mechanical properties during tension (Table 1) has been investigat…
A Statistical Approach for A-Posteriori Deployment of Microclimate Sensors in Museums: A Case Study
2022
[EN] The deployment of sensors is the first issue encountered when microclimate monitoring is planned in spaces devoted to the conservation of artworks. Sometimes, the first decision regarding the position of sensors may not be suitable for characterising the microclimate close to climate sensitive artworks or should be revised in light of new circumstances. This paper fits into this context by proposing a rational approach for a posteriori deployment of microclimate sensors in museums where long-term temperature and relative humidity observations were available (here, the Rosenborg Castle, Copenhagen, Denmark). Different statistical tools such as box-and-whisker plots, principal component …
Multifacial Recognition in Binary and Ternary Cocrystals from 5-Halouracil and Aminoazine Derivatives
2018
A systematic analysis using single crystal X-ray diffraction was performed to explore the role exerted by potential intercomponent proton-transfer reactions in the supramolecular structures of A–B cocrystals formed by 5-haloderivatives of uracil (A), coupled with 2-aminoadenine simulants (aminoazines, B). Twelve new heterodimers were synthesized in different stoichiometries and cocrystallized by solvent cogrinding followed by solution crystallization. In the binary cocrystals, uracil or 1-methyluracil with halide modification at the 5 position (F, Cl, Br, I) was coupled with amino-aromatic N-heterocycles (melamine, 2,4,6-triaminopyrimidine, 2,6-diaminopyridine) as a multivalent site for pyr…

In the title compound, [Na2(C16H7Cl3N5O2)2(CH3OH)4]·C4H10O·2CH3OH, the central pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine system makes dihedral angles of 82.98 (7)° with the trichlorophenyl ring and 13.11 (15)° with the pyridine ring. The sodium ion has an octahedral environment, being coordinated by four methanol molecules and one O and one N atom of two different heterocyclic ring systems.
