A total of 2035 Mycosphaerella graminicola strains collected from 16 geographic locations on four continents were assayed for the mating type locus. RFLP fingerprints were used to identify clones in each population. At the smallest spatial scale analyzed, both mating types were found among fungal strains sampled from different lesions of the same leaf as well as from different pycnidia in the same lesion. At larger spatial scales, the two mating types were found at equal frequencies across spatial scales ranging from several square meters to several thousand square kilometers. Though the absolute frequencies of the two mating types sometimes varied for different sampling units within the same spatial scale in the hierarchy (plots within a field, fields within a country, or different continents of the world), none of the differences were statistically significant from the null hypothesis of equal frequencies for the two mating types. The evolutionary forces likely to maintain the even distribution of the two mating types in this pathogen were discussed.

The SOD2 gene, encoding a manganese-type superoxide dismutase, is up-regulated during conidiogenesis in the plant-pathogenic fungus Colletotrichum graminicola.

The SOD2 gene, encoding a manganese-type superoxide dismutase (MnSOD), was identified from Colletotrichum graminicola among a collection of cDNAs representing genes that are up-regulated during conidiogenesis. The SOD2 gene consists of a 797-bp open reading frame that is interrupted by three introns and is predicted to encode a polypeptide of 208 amino acids. All conserved residues of the MnSOD protein family, including four consensus metal binding domains, are present in the predicted SOD2 protein. However, the predicted protein does not appear to contain a signal peptide that would target it to the mitochondria. Northern hybridizations revealed that expression of the approximately 900-bp SOD2 transcript is closely associated with differentiation of both oval and falcate conidia. Southern analysis indicated that there is only a single copy of the gene. SOD2 disruption strains were morphologically and pathogenically indistinguishable from wild-type strains. The dispensability of the MnSOD enzyme may be due to the activities of two other SOD enzymes, a highly expressed iron-type superoxide dismutase and a much less abundant copper/zinc type, that were also detected in C. graminicola.

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are hypothesized to play an important role in the pathogenesis of several central nervous system disorders. Increased levels of expression of MMP-9 (gelatinase B) and MMP-2 (gelatinase A) have been observed in Alzheimer's disease, stroke, multiple sclerosis, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. This suggests an aberrant regulation of MMPs that could lead to inappropriate expression of MMP activity. To allow us to evaluate the effect of increased levels of active MMP-9 in the central nervous system, mutant forms of the enzyme were designed to autocatalytically remove the pro domain, yielding active enzyme. This was accomplished by modifying residues in the cysteine switch autoinhibitor region of the propeptide. Stable cell lines and transgenic mice that express G100L and D103N autoactive forms of human MMP-9 were developed to study the role of dysregulation of MMP-9 in disease.

Conidium production by insect pathogenic fungi on commercially available agars.
Kamp AM, Bidochka MJ.
Department of Biological Sciences, Brock University, St. Catharines, ON, Canada.
AIMS: Conidium production by three species of insect pathogenic fungi, Metarhizium anisopliae, Beauveria bassiana and Verticillium lecanii, was assessed on various depths and types of commercially available agars. METHODS: Conidium production was assessed after 14 d of growth on commercially available media as well as at three different agar depths. RESULTS: Metarhizium anisopliae and B. bassiana isolates showed greatest conidium production on potato dextrose agar (PDA) at a depth of 2 mm, whereas V. lecanii showed greatest conidium production on yeast extract-peptone-dextrose agar (YPDA) regardless of agar depth. Optimum conidium production for M. anisopliae and B. bassiana was not only dependent upon the isolate used but also on the medium type and agar depth. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: Conidia are the infective structures for insect pathogenic fungi and this study suggests a rationale basis for consistent conidium production for laboratory and commercial practices.

Occurrence and strain diversity of thermophilic campylobacters in cattle of different age groups in dairy herds.
Nielsen EM.
Danish Veterinary Institute, Copenhagen, Denmark. emetinst.dk
AIMS: To investigate the occurrence and numbers of thermophilic campylobacters excreted by cattle in dairy herds, and to assess the strain diversity within herds. METHODS AND RESULTS: Faecal samples from 15 animals at each of 24 cattle farms were cultured quantitatively for thermophilic campylobacters and 23% of animals and 83% of farms were positive for Campylobacter jejuni. Young animals had a higher prevalence and higher faecal concentration than older animals. Serotyping and pulsed field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) of isolates showed that the most common serotypes were 2, 4-complex and 11. Serotype 2 was especially prevalent among calves (68% of the positive calves). In eight of the 20 positive herds, all isolates had the same sero- and PFGE type while, in the other herds, two to five different types were isolated. CONCLUSIONS: Significant differences were found between age groups in relation to the prevalence and numbers of excreted campylobacters, serotype distribution and strain diversity. The relatively few different strains in each herd indicate that transmission between animals is common. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: The high prevalence on cattle farms of the human pathogen C. jejuni and the wide distribution of serotype 2, the most common serotype among Danish patients, indicate that cattle might be an important reservoir for human infections. The ability of this serotype to colonize calves in high numbers further indicates that serotype 2 strains may have an advantage over other serotypes.

There are a number of approaches to hair loss problems.
Hair Million is an herbal alternative. It is a formula made of traditional, edible herbs
and has been anecdotally demonstrated the efficacy to ward off hair loss
problems.
There is no singular medical or alternative cure for hair loss since the
biology of hair growth is a highly complicated phenomenon.
It is unknown how Hair Million stops hair loss,
and promotes hair restoration.
The advantages of Hair Million over other approaches are, firstly, Hair Million is comparatively inexpensive,
and secondly, it is made only of traditionally used safe and healthy herbs that promote hair growth
according to Chinese pharmacopoeia. In addition, Hair Million is cardiotonic, meaning that Hair Million consists of herbs
that strengthens your heart, according to Chinese medicine. There is an interesting research paper which correlates baldness
to heart diseases: people with alopecia or hair loss
problems are significantly more likely to develop heart attacks.
DHEA is a natural hormone, and it is produced in our body by the adrenal glands.
DHEA has been suggested to provide numerous potential benefits. DHEA (or dehydroepiandrosterone) is converted into androgens (male hormones)
or estrogens (female hormones) in the cells.
