The myrmecophilous Paederinae rove Roller Skates beetle genus Megastilicus Casey, 1889 from North America is reviewed based on museum specimens.Prior to this study, the genus was monotypic with one species Megastilicus formicarius Casey, 1889 described.Here, we provide a redescription of the genus and the type species, designate a lectotype, and pr
BackgroundNotwithstanding the acknowledged interplay between atrial fibrillation (AF) and the emergence of digestive system neoplasms, the intricacies of this relationship remain ambiguous.By capitalizing univariable Mendelian Randomization (MR) complemented by a mediated MR tactic, our pursuit was to elucidate the causative roles of AF in precipit
Solving environmental and social challenges such as climate change requires a shift from our current non-renewable manufacturing model to a sustainable bioeconomy.To lower carbon emissions in the production of fuels and chemicals, plant biomass feedstocks can replace petroleum using microorganisms as biocatalysts.The anaerobic thermophile Clostridi
To produce bioethanol from model cyanobacteria such as Synechocystis, a two gene cassette consisting of genes encoding pyruvate decarboxylase (PDC) and alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) are required to transform pyruvate first to acetaldehyde and then to ethanol.However the partition of pyruvate to ethanol comes at a cost, a reduction in biomass and pyru
The article researches fatness of grey mullets during their reproductive cycle.It was established that in spring fat depot is practically absent in grey mullets body-cavity.In summer accumulation of energy substances takes place.In August most of the examined fish had fatness of 2-3 points, but in September the number of fish with minimal Knife fat
