Machine learning and cheminformatics-based Identification of lichen-derived compounds targeting mutant PBP4 in Staphylococcus aureus.

Molecular diversity
Penicillin-binding protein 4 (PBP4) is essential in imparting significant β-lactam antibiotics resistance in Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and the mutation R200L in PBP4 is linked to β-lactam non-susceptibility in natural strains, complicating tr...

Ontology and values anchor indigenous and grey nomenclatures: a case study in lichen naming practices among the Samí, Sherpa, Scots, and Okanagan.

Studies in history and philosophy of biological and biomedical sciences
Ethnobotanical research provides ample justification for comparing diverse biological nomenclatures and exploring ways that retain alternative naming practices. However, how (and whether) comparison of nomenclatures is possible remains a subject of d...

Production and characterization of a biosurfactant produced by Streptomyces sp. DPUA 1559 isolated from lichens of the Amazon region.

Brazilian journal of medical and biological research = Revista brasileira de pesquisas medicas e biologicas
Surfactants are amphipathic compounds containing both hydrophilic and hydrophobic groups, capable to lower the surface or interfacial tension. Considering the advantages of the use of biosurfactants produced by microorganisms, the aim of this paper w...
