MYCOPLASMA CHROMOSOMAL TRANSFER: A DISTRIBUTIVE, CONJUGATIVE PROCESS CREATING AN INFINITE VARIETY OF MOSAIC GENOMES

Mycoplasma Chromosomal Transfer: A Distributive, Conjugative Process Creating an Infinite Variety of Mosaic Genomes

The capacity of Mycoplasmas to engage in horizontal gene transfers has recently been highlighted.Despite their small genome, some of these wall-less bacteria are able to exchange multiple, large portions of their chromosome via a conjugative mechanism that does not conform to canonical Hfr/oriT models.To understand the exact features underlying myc

Biochar as substitute for organic matter in the composition of substrates for seedlings - doi: 10.4025/actasciagron.v35i3.17542

In this study, we tested the hypothesis that pyrogenic carbon (biochar) has properties that enable it to replace fresh organic matter (cattle manure) in seedling substrates.These properties include specific electrophysiological interactions Bumper Sticker in soil-plant media, stability and longevity.The experiment was conducted in the nursery at th
