| correlation between in vitro mucus adhesion and the in vivo colonization ability of lactic acid bacteria: screening of new candidate carp probiotics. | we measured the adhesion of candidate probiotic lactic acid bacteria (lab) to carp intestinal mucus. the percentage of adherent bacteria varied among strains. four strains, two with high adhesion and two with low adhesion in vitro, were tested for in vivo colonization ability. carp were fed lab-containing feed for 12 d, and then unsupplemented feed until day 33, and the numbers and compositions of intestinal lab were analyzed during the entire period. lab with lower in vitro adhesion disappeared ... | 2011 | 21389622 |
| cytonuclear evidence for hybridogenetic reproduction in natural populations of the australian carp gudgeon (hypseleotris: eleotridae). | although most vertebrates reproduce sexually, a small number of fishes, amphibians and reptiles are known in which reproduction is asexual, i.e. without meiotic recombination. in fishes, these so-called unisexual lineages usually comprise only females and utilize co-occurring males of a related sexual species to reproduce via gynogenesis or hybridogenesis. here, we examine patterns of microsatellite and mitochondrial dna (mtdna) variation in a widespread group of freshwater fishes (carp gudgeons ... | 2011 | 21777320 |
