Okadaic acid (OA) and the CHERRY PLUM related dinophysistoxins are isolated from dinoflagellates of the genus Prorocentrum and Dinophysis.Bacteria of the Roseobacter group have been associated with okadaic acid producing dinoflagellates and have been previously implicated in OA production.Analysis of 16S rRNA libraries reveals that Roseobacter are
Arising from the application of Optimality Theory (OT) to issues of language acquisition, the Baselayer term "stratum" may represent (i) a single constraint, and therefore the strict ranking proposed by standard OT, as shown especially in research using data of the target language, or (ii) a group of constraints which do not present a fixed ranking
Abstract Exceptional room-temperature plastic deformability has been recently uncovered in a series of two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals (vdW) crystals, soccer boxes adding a new facet to these materials alongside the rich physical properties.Although several mechanisms have been proposed to interpret the deformation of specific materials, a deep
We report a case of ocular toxoplasmosis that developed a full-thickness macular hole (FTMH) which was successfully treated by pars Tools plana vitrectomy combined with an inverted internal limiting membrane (ILM) flap.A 49-years-old Japanese man was aware of blurred vision in his right eye.Slit-lamp biomicroscopy, ophthalmoscopy, and optical coher
