Subsequent analyses showed the plausible metabolic complementarity provided by the minimal gut metagenome to the human genome.A Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, non-spore-forming, motile by single polar flagellum and ovoid or rod-shaped bacterial strain, designated JBTF-M23T, was isolated from tidal flat sediment collected from the Yellow Sea, Republic of Korea. Neighbour-joining phylogenetic tree of 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain JBTF-M23T fell within the clade comprising the type strains of Pseudoalteromonas species, clustering with the type strains of P. byunsanensis and P. amylolytica. Strain JBTF-M23T exhibited the highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity value (98.6 %) to the type strain of P. rubra and sequence similarities of 98.3 and 97.7 % to the type strains of P. byunsanensis and P. amylolytica, respectively. The DNA G+C content of strain JBTF-M23T from genomic sequence data was 41.98 %. The ANI and dDDH values between strain JBTF-M23T and the type strains of P. rubra, P. byunsanensis and P. amylolytica were 71.3-76.6 and 19.4-19.9 %, respectively. Strain JBTF-M23T contained Q-8 as the predominant ubiquinone and C16  1 ω7c and/or C16  1 ω6c, C16  0 and C18  1 ω7c as the major fatty acids. The major polar lipids of strain JBTF-M23T were phosphatidylethanolamine and one unidentified aminolipid. Distinguished phenotypic properties, along with the phylogenetic and genetic distinctiveness, revealed that strain JBTF-M23T is separated from recognized Pseudoalteromonas species. On the basis of the data presented, strain JBTF-M23Tis considered to represent a novel species of the genus Pseudoalteromonas, for which the name Pseudoalteromonas caenipelagi sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is JBTF-M23T(=KACC 19900T=NBRC 113647T).A novel Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, yellow-pigmented bacterium was isolated from seawater of Aoshan Bay, and designated as strain ASW18T. Strain ASW18T was a long-rod-shaped bacterium without flagellum and lacked gliding ability. Based on 16S rRNA gene phylogeny, strain ASW18T showed the closest relationship to Croceivirga radicis MCCC 1A06690T, with a sequence similarity of 97.0 %. Strain ASW18T was able to grow at 25-40 °C, at pH 5.5-9.5 and with 0.5-9 % (w/v) NaCl. The genomic DNA G+C content of strain ASW18T was 37.3 %. The predominant cellular fatty acids of strain ASW18T were iso-C15  0, iso-C17  0 3-OH and iso-C15  1 G. The major polar lipids were phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidyldimethylethanolamine, an aminolipid and three unidentified lipids. The respiratory quinone of strain ASW18T was menaquinone with six isoprene units (MK-6). Based on the present polyphasic analysis, strain ASW18T represents a novel species of the genus Croceivirga, for which the name Croceivirga litoralis sp. nov. is proposed; the type strain is ASW18T (=MCCC 1K04203T=KCTC 72852T). In addition, it is also proposed that Muricauda lutea should be reclassified as Croceivirga lutea comb. nov.; the type strain is CSW06T (=CGMCC 1.15761T=JCM 31455T=KCTC 52375T=MCCC 1K03195T).Voluntary forgetting is accomplished via top-down control over memory contents. Age-related declines in cognitive control may compromise voluntary forgetting. Using a working-memory variant of a directed forgetting task, we examined age differences in forgetting efficacy by analyzing direct measures of memory accuracy and two indirect measures of retention proactive interference and semantic distortions. The directed forgetting effect in long-term memory was virtually absent in older adults. Further, compared to young adults, older adults recognized fewer to-be-remembered and more to-be-forgotten items in working memory. However, indirect measures of forgetting efficacy suggest some spared ability to control working memory contents in older adults Both young and older adult participants exhibited reduced proactive interference for to-be-forgotten words (Experiment 1) and reduced semantic errors to to-be-forgotten list associates (Experiment 2) in working memory. Indirect memory measures of forgetting efficacy can provide a fuller understanding of spared and impaired control processes in older adults.This study aimed to determine if older adults "at-risk" for dementia (those with MCI or SMC) exhibit accelerated long-term forgetting (ALF) and whether rate of forgetting (RoF) is associated with sleep efficiency, hippocampal volume and demographic/clinical features. Forty-nine "at-risk" participants and eighteen controls underwent examination. Memory was assessed using the Scene Memory Task (SMT) and WMS-III Logical Memory (LM) subtest. Tests were administered at baseline, 24 hours and 2 weeks. While our study did not find ALF in those "at-risk" for dementia, on the SMT, RoF over 24 hours and 2 weeks was negatively correlated with sleep efficiency. For LM, RoF at 2 weeks was moderately associated with left hippocampal volume. Neither visual or verbal RoF was correlated with demographic or clinical variables (age, MMSE, IQ, GDS-15). While ALF was not observed in this sample, our results suggest that visual and verbal forgetting have differential predictors.Succinate dehydrogenase inhibitors (SDHI) comprise a class of broad-spectrum fungicides utilized for management of diseases caused by phytopathogenic fungi. mTOR signaling pathway In many cases, reduced sensitivity to SDHI fungicides has been correlated with point mutations in the SdhB and SdhC target genes that encode components of the succinate dehydrogenase complex. The genetic basis of SDHI fungicide resistance mechanisms, however, has been functionally characterized in very few fungi. Sclerotinia sclerotiorum is a fast-growing and SDHI fungicide-sensitive phytopathogenic fungus that can be conveniently transformed. Given the high amino acid sequence similarity and putative structural similarity of SDHI protein target sites between S. sclerotiorum and other common phytopathogenic ascomycete fungi, we developed an in vitro heterologous expression system that used S. sclerotiorum as a reporter strain. With this system, we were able to demonstrate the function of mutant SdhB or SdhC alleles from several ascomycete fungi in conferring resistance to multiple SDHI fungicides.
