The secretory pathway of protists: spatial and functional organization and evolution

Article Abstract:

Electron microscopic surveys of protists reveal a secretory pathway consisting of the endoplasmic reticulum, golgi complex, vacuoles, vesicles and other related proteins that are characteristic of the eukaryotic system. The spatial organization is well preserved in all the groups with modifications existing not only in the presence of a Golgi stack, but also in the number of cisternae within a stack. The evolutionary process explains the variability of the Golgi system by showing a functionally-dependent optimization of various protist groups.

Significance of bacterial surface-active compounds in interaction of bacteria with interfaces

Article Abstract:

The study of microbial lipids having surface-active compounds has attracted many researches due to possible applications in the surfactant field. These microbial lipids modify the surface or interface that facilitate microbial adhesion to other microbial bodies or to surfaces. Bacterial surface-active compounds are identified and the event of bacterial adhesion and deadhesion is investigated.
