Actinobacillus minor and "Actinobacillus porcitonsillarum" are distinguished by their haemolytic activities, the latter organism being haemolytic and the former, non-haemolytic. Analysis of a whole genome shotgun sequence, however, revealed that A. minor strain 202, like "A. porcitonsillarum", possesses a haemolysin-encoding apxII operon. The purpose of this study was therefore to investigate haemolysin production by this organism and also by three additional members of the A. minor/"porcitonsil

The rumen represents the first section of a ruminant animal's stomach, where feed is collected and mixed with microorganisms for initial digestion. The major gas produced in the rumen is CO(2) (65.5 mol%), yet the metabolic characteristics of capnophilic (CO(2)-loving) microorganisms are not well understood. Here we report the 2,314,078 base pair genome sequence of Mannheimia succiniciproducens MBEL55E, a recently isolated capnophilic Gram-negative bacterium from bovine rumen, and analyze its ge

SummaryNorthern lakes are ice-covered for a large part of the year, yet our understanding of microbial diversity and activity during winter lags behind that of the ice-free period. In this study, we investigated under-ice diversity and metabolism of Verrucomicrobia in seasonally ice-covered lakes in temperate and boreal regions of Quebec, Canada using 16S rRNA sequencing, metagenomics and metatranscriptomics. Verrucomicrobia, particularly the V1, V3 and V4 subdiv

The dataset used in the paper is a 2D navigation task, visual navigation task, 2-DOF configuration-space manipulation task, and 2-DOF workspace manipulation task.

Summary The paper deals with the questions of funding of collective actions. Proper funding has significant influence on the right to the access to the court and is a precondition for the efficient course of litigation in general, specifically in connection with a collective redress. Funding of class actions is also closely related with other issues such as costs and lawyer’s fees, reimbursement of legal costs and moreover.

Summary The author of this contribution deals with specifics of consumer disputes in Austrian civil procedure law. He analyses special provisions that address consumers in dispute resolution and general procedural rules that do not specifically apply to consumers but have their major impact on consumers. He gives an overview on the caselaw of the Austrian Supreme Court in which the Court has introduced several ways to protect the interests of consumers.
