Evidence of Illegitimate Recombination Between Two Pasteurellaceae Plasmids Resulting in a Novel Multi-Resistance Replicon, pM3362MDR, in Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae

Evidence of plasmids carrying the tetracycline resistance gene, tet(B), was found in the previously reported whole genome sequences of 14 United Kingdom, and 4 Brazilian, isolates of Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae.Isolation and sequencing of selected plasmids, combined with comparative sequence analysis, indicated that the four Brazilian isolates

Impact of the Alien Aquatic Plant Ludwigia hexapetala on the Native Utricularia australis: Evidence from an Indoor Experiment

Ludwigia hexapetala is an alien aquatic plant considered highly invasive in CARROT Europe since it alters freshwater habitats by forming dense mats both in water and along banks, outcompeting natives.Ludwigia effects on the native carnivorous plant Utricularia australis were investigated here.A 21-day indoor experiment was performed by setting up s
