The Bacillus subtilis genome from gerBC (311 degrees) to licR (334 degrees)
Article Abstract:
A research study on Bacillus subtilis 271 kb chromosomal region between gerBC (311 degrees) and licR (334 degrees) was conducted to describe the region's features. The two regions were cloned through DNA manipulations. Findings revealed that the genes within the region are responsible for growth conditions. There were also 273 putative sequences identified in the DNA sequencing of the B. subtilus. Furthermore, the study of genetic content and gene function analysis was promoted by the sequencing analysis of the licR-gerBC regions.

Superoxide dismutase activity levels in a Spanish population 50-93 years
Article Abstract:
Superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity increases significantly in females between 68 and 93 years of age, whereas in men it is constant or slightly decreasing. A Spanish population of 126 individuals between 50 and 93 years old was studied, and results were compared with those of a population aged 18 to 65. Superoxide dismutase is a scavenging enzyme that defends against damage from free radicals.

A second superoxide dismutase gene in the medfly, Ceratitis capitata
Article Abstract:
Molecular and genetic maps have been created that highlight the value of Ceratitis capitata as an agricultural pest. Cross-hybridization of the medfly with Drosophila melanogaster generated a Cu/Zn Sod gene clone (ccSod1). Biochemical experiments indicated the presence of two different Cu/Zn Sod genes in the medfly based on their coding sequences and polytene chromosome remote locations.
