Involvement of a sialic acid-binding lectin with hemagglutination and hydrophobicity of Flavobacterium psychrophilum
Article Abstract:
Research has been conducted on Flavobacterium psychrophilum strains. The ability of these strains to adhere and cause agglutination of yeast cells and erythrocytes has been tested, and the pathogenic mechanism important for the bacterium's virulence has been investigated and discussed.

Cloning and sequencing of the histidine decarboxylase genes of gram-negative, histamine-producing bacteria and their application in detection and identification of these organisms in fish
Article Abstract:
Research has been conducted on gram-negative histamine-producing bacteria in fish. The authors report the development of PCR primers for histidine decarboxylase gene amplification of these bacteria, and provide the analysis of histidine decarboxylase gene sequences.

Extremely acidophilic protists from acid mine drainage host Rickettsiales-lineage endosymbionts that have intervening sequences in their 16s rRNA genes
Article Abstract:
Research has been conducted on protist endosymbionts from the acid mine drainage. The authors have investigated these endosymbionts via the use of culture-independent approaches.
