Abstract Background Theobroma cacao L. cultivar Matina 1-6 belongs to the most cultivated cacao type. The availability of its genome sequence and methods for identifying genes responsible for important cacao traits will aid cacao researchers and breeders. Results

Detailed fitness and survival. Here, through fitness and survival outputs in wild-type and immune-compromised Drosophila melanogaster, we test whether the sexes are differentially impacted by bacterial infection and identify a critical regulator of this difference, PGRP-LB, a negative regulation of the humoral immune pathway IMD. We find that the sexes exhibit differential survival but similar bacteria-derived metabolic pathology.

ABSTRACT Clostridium ultunense strain Esp belongs to the functional group of syntrophic acetate-oxidizing bacteria (SAOB), which have been identified as key organisms for efficient biogas production from protein-rich materials. Genome analysis and comparative genomics might aid us to define physiological features that are essential for maintaining this particu

These data include: 1. The UCSF NMR files for the high pressure NMR experiments at pH 6.5 and 5.5 2. The intensity values vs pressure for the imino proton peaks for the quantified G and U bases 3. The background-corrected high pressure SAXS at pH 6.5 4. The configurations from REMD simulations used in the Ensemble Optimization Modeling of the SAXS data. These data are given in the tranches of Q-values into which the configurations were subdivided.
