Abstract
BACKGROUND Glycolic acid (GA) is a two-carbon hydroxyacid with applications in the cosmetic, textile, and medical industry. Microbial GA production from all sugars can be achieved by engineering the natural glyoxylate shunt. The synthetic (d)-xylulose-1 phosphate (X1P) pathway provides a complementary route to produce GA from (d)-xylose. The simultaneous operation of the X1P and glyoxylate pathways increases the theoretical GA yield from xylose by 20 %, which may strongly improve GA production from hemicellulosic hydrolysates. RESULTS We herein describe the construction of an E. coli strain that produces GA via the glyoxylate pathway at a yield of 0.31 , 0.29 , and 0.37 g/g from glucose, xylose, or a mixture of glucose and xylose (mass ratio: 33:66 %), respectively. When the X1P pathway operates in addition to the glyoxylate pathway, the GA yields on the three substrates are, respectively, 0.39 , 0.43 , and 0.47 g/g. Upon constitutive expression of the sugar permease GalP, the GA yield of the strain which simultaneously operates the glyoxylate and X1P pathways further increases to 0.63 g/g when growing on the glucose/xylose mixture. Under these conditions, the GA yield on the xylose fraction of the sugar mixture reaches 0.75 g/g, which is the highest yield reported to date. CONCLUSIONS These results demonstrate that the synthetic X1P pathway has a very strong potential to improve GA production from xylose-rich hemicellulosic hydrolysates.

Abstract
A synthetic pathway for (d)-xylose assimilation was stoichiometrically evaluated and implemented in Escherichia coli strains. The pathway proceeds via isomerization of (d)-xylose to (d)-xylulose, phosphorylation of (d)-xylulose to obtain (d)-xylulose-1-phosphate (X1P), and aldolytic cleavage of the latter to yield glycolaldehyde and DHAP. Stoichiometric analyses showed that this pathway provides access to ethylene glycol with a theoretical molar yield of 1. Alternatively, both glycolaldehyde and DHAP can be converted to glycolic acid with a theoretical yield that is 20% higher than for the exclusive production of this acid via the glyoxylate shunt. Simultaneous expression of xylulose-1 kinase and X1P aldolase activities, provided by human ketohexokinase-C and human aldolase-B, respectively, restored growth of a (d)-xylulose-5-kinase mutant on xylose. This strain produced ethylene glycol as the major metabolic endproduct. Metabolic engineering provided strains that assimilated the entire C2 fraction into the central metabolism or that produced 4.3 g/L glycolic acid at a molar yield of 0.9 in shake flasks.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ethylene glycol (EG) is a bulk chemical that is mainly used as an anti-freezing agent and a raw material in the synthesis of plastics. Production of commercial EG currently exclusively relies on chemical synthesis using fossil resources. Biochemical production of ethylene glycol from renewable resources may be more sustainable. RESULTS Herein, a synthetic pathway is described that produces EG in Escherichia coli through the action of (D)-xylose isomerase, (D)-xylulose-1-kinase, (D)-xylulose-1-phosphate aldolase, and glycolaldehyde reductase. These reactions were successively catalyzed by the endogenous xylose isomerase (XylA), the heterologously expressed human hexokinase (Khk-C) and aldolase (Aldo-B), and an endogenous glycolaldehyde reductase activity, respectively, which we showed to be encoded by yqhD. The production strain was optimized by deleting the genes encoding for (D)-xylulose-5 kinase (xylB) and glycolaldehyde dehydrogenase (aldA), and by overexpressing the candidate glycolaldehyde reductases YqhD, GldA, and FucO. The strain overproducing FucO was the best EG producer reaching a molar yield of 0.94 in shake flasks, and accumulating 20 g/L EG with a molar yield and productivity of 0.91 and 0.37 g/(L.h), respectively, in a controlled bioreactor under aerobic conditions. CONCLUSIONS We have demonstrated the feasibility to produce EG from (D)-xylose via a synthetic pathway in E. coli at approximately 90 % of the theoretical yield.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO ) is a gaseous signaling molecule which plays both regulatory and defense roles in animals and plants. In the symbiosis between legumes and rhizobia, NO has been shown to be involved in bacterial infection and nodule development steps as well as in mature nodule functioning. We recently showed that an increase in NO level inside Medicago truncatula root nodules also could trigger premature nodule senescence. Here we discuss the importance of the bacterial Sinorhizobium meliloti flavohemoglobin to finely tune the NO level inside nodules and further, we demonstrate that S. meliloti possesses at least two non redundant ways to control NO and that both systems are necessary to maintain efficient nitrogen fixing activity.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO) is a signalling and defence molecule involved in diverse plant developmental processes, as well as in the plant response to pathogens. NO has also been detected at different steps of the symbiosis between legumes and rhizobia. NO is required for an optimal establishment of the Medicago truncatula-Sinorhizobium meliloti symbiotic interaction, but little is known about the role of NO in mature nodules. Here, we investigate the role of NO in the late steps of symbiosis. Genetic and pharmacological approaches were conducted to modulate the NO level inside root nodules, and their effects on nitrogen fixation and root nodule senescence were monitored. An increase in endogenous NO levels led to a decrease in nitrogen fixation and early nodule senescence, characterized by cytological modifications of the nodule structure and the early expression of a specific senescence marker. By contrast, a decrease in NO levels led to a delay in nodule senescence. Together, our results strongly suggest that NO is a signal in developmental as well as stress-induced nodule senescence. In addition, this work demonstrates the pivotal role of the bacterial NO detoxification response in the prevention of early nodule senescence, and hence the maintenance of efficient symbiosis.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO) is a gaseous molecule that participates in numerous plant signalling pathways. It is involved in plant responses to pathogens and development processes such as seed germination, flowering and stomatal closure. Using a permeable NO-specific fluorescent probe and a bacterial reporter strain expressing the lacZ gene under the control of a NO-responsive promoter, we detected NO production in the first steps, during infection threads growth, of the Medicago truncatula-Sinorhizobium meliloti symbiotic interaction. Nitric oxide was also detected, by confocal microscopy, in nodule primordia. Depletion of NO caused by cPTIO (2-(4-carboxyphenyl)-4,4,5,5-tetramethyl imidazoline-1-oxyl-3-oxide), an NO scavenger, resulted in a significant delay in nodule appearance. The overexpression of a bacterial hmp gene, encoding a flavohaemoglobin able to scavenge NO, under the control of a nodule-specific promoter (pENOD20) in transgenic roots, led to the same phenotype. The NO scavenging resulting from these approaches provoked the downregulation of plant genes involved in nodule development, such as MtCRE1 and MtCCS52A. Furthermore, an Hmp-overexpressing S. meliloti mutant strain was found to be less competitive than the wild type in the nodulation process. Taken together, these results indicate that NO is required for an optimal establishment of the M. truncatula-S. meliloti symbiotic interaction.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO) is crucial in animal- and plant-pathogen interactions, during which it participates in host defense response and resistance. Indications for the presence of NO during the symbiotic interaction between the model legume Medicago truncatula and its symbiont Sinorhizobium meliloti have been reported but the role of NO in symbiosis is far from being elucidated. Our objective was to understand the role or roles played by NO in symbiosis. As a first step toward this goal, we analyzed the bacterial response to NO in culture, using a transcriptomic approach. We identified approximately 100 bacterial genes whose expression is upregulated in the presence of NO. Surprisingly, most of these genes are regulated by the two-component system FixLJ, known to control the majority of rhizobial genes expressed in planta in mature nodules, or the NO-dedicated regulator NnrR. Among the genes responding to NO is hmp, encoding a putative flavohemoglobin. We report that an hmp mutant displays a higher sensitivity toward NO in culture and leads to a reduced nitrogen fixation efficiency in planta. Because flavohemoglobins are known to detoxify NO in numerous bacterial species, this result is the first indication of the importance of the bacterial NO response in symbiosis.

Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of ivermectin on the treatment of bovine cutaneous papillomatosis. Twenty-four Holstein calves between 9 and 17 months of age with cutaneous papillomatosis were placed into three groups with six in group I, and nine in groups II and III. Group I served as a control group and received no treatment. Ivermectin at a dose of 0.2mg/kg was administered subcutaneously as a single dose to the animals in Group II and twice with 15 days intervals to animals in Group III. The first ivermectin application was considered as the 0th day Animals were monitored at 15 days intervals up to 3 months. No remission was observed in the control group (Group I). In Group II eight out of nine animals (88.8%) and in Group III seven out of nine animals (77.7%) showed complete recovery within 3 month observation period. It was concluded that ivermectin, as either single or double dose applications, is effective as a treatment for cutaneous papillomatosis.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to evaluate some coagulation parameters in hepatic coccidiosis experimentally induced with Eimeria stiedai in rabbits. Fourteen healthy New Zealand rabbits were equally divided into two groups. One group received no treatment, the other group was orally inoculated with 40 000 sporulated oocysts of E. stiedai in a 1 ml inoculum using a catheter. At day 24 after inoculation, blood samples were collected into sodium citrate-containing tubes to evaluate some coagulation parameters. Although statistically not significant, infected rabbits had prolonged prothrombin time and activated partial thromboplastin time compared with rabbits in the control group. A significant reduction (P < 0.05) was observed in the level of fibrinogen of infected rabbits compared with that of the controls. A slight decrease in thrombocyte counts of infected rabbits was not statistically significant.

Abstract
This study was performed to investigate (i). the clinical, histopathological and biochemical changes in quails (Coturnix coturnix japonica) with experimentally induced aspergillosis; and (ii). the efficiency of itraconazole treatment on these infected birds. A total of 18021-day-old male quails was randomly divided into three groups (control, infected untreated and infected treated), each containing 60. The experimental infection was set by intratracheal inoculation of 0.2 ml inoculum of Aspergillus fumigatus (CBS 113.26 strain) consisting of approximately 2.7 x 106 spores/ml. Two days after the inoculation, general clinical signs of aspergillosis in the respiratory tract were observed. In the histopathological examination, caseous foci were found in lungs, trachea and on airsacs. All quails died in the infected untreated group. Aspergillus fumigatus was isolated from the various organs of all dead quails. There was no significant change in serum aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT) activities in infected untreated birds compared with controls. However, alanine aminotransferase (ALT) activity, albumin and calcium levels, and albumin/globulin (A/G) ratio were lower while phosphorus and globulin levels were higher in the infected untreated group than in controls. Each quail in the infected treated group was given 10 mg/kg/day itraconazole via drinking water for 7 days immediately after the first clinical findings. Although all quails died in the infected untreated group, 41 quails survived in the itraconazole treatment group. Biochemical values also returned approximately to the control levels after the treatment. The conclusion was drawn that aspergillosis in the quails might cause economical losses because of high mortality. Oral itraconazole treatment of aspergillosis might lower the mortality rate in quails.

Abstract
The secondary palate formation in mouse has been associated with the period of fast growth of the mandible from embryonic days (ED) 13.0 to 16.0. During that time, the incisors and first molars develop from the bud to the bell stage. We investigated the position and growth of the tooth during prenatal elongation of the lower and upper jaws, and searched for the developmental stage when alignment of opposing teeth was achieved. Computer-aided 3D representations allowed us to represent the position of incisors and molars in the embryonic head from ED 13.5 to 18.0 on the basis of data obtained from histological sections. The atlas-hypophysis connection exhibited minimum change in length and orientation during the prenatal period, and thus was used as a reference line. The length of the teeth was calculated from 3D data. The upper first and second molars were longer than the lower ones. When viewed from the upper side, the upper and lower molar primordia were parallel from ED 13.5 to 15.0. During this period, the upper molars had a more lateral position than the lower ones. This situation was maintained in the anterior extremity of the first molars at later stages, while the posterior part of the upper and lower molar epithelia reached opposition in the medio-lateral direction from ED 16.0. The lower incisors exhibited an apparently backward position when compared to the upper incisors at earlier stages. However, the distance between the prospective anterior tips of the opposing incisors gradually decreased. The part of Meckel's cartilage associated with the lower dental quadrant elongated more than 3-fold from ED 13.5 to 18.0, and the lower jaw grew faster than the upper one. This difference resulted from the fast growth of the lower diastema from ED 14.0 to 18.0. The different growth speeds of the upper and lower jaws did not change the relative antero-posterior adjustment of the upper and lower molars, but contributed to achieving the opposition of the gnawing ends of the incisors.

Abstract
Transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-beta1) was immunolocalized within differentiated odontoblasts and ameloblasts while LAP-beta1 was detected at the apicol pole of odonotoblasts and ameloblasts and in predentine. Anti-LAP-beta1 antibodies also stained the epithelial-mesenchymal junction (EMJ). Decorin was immunolocalized in young functional odonotoblasts and in both predentine and dentine. Biglycan was similarly distributed but absent from dentine. Immunostaining with anti-latent TGF-beta1 binding protein-1 (LTBP-1) showed fibrillar structures located at the EMJ and between predontoblasts and odontoblasts; at older states staining was restricted to the dental papilla and sac. Thus differentiated odonotoblasts express TGF-beta1 and in a more restricted manner decorin, biglycan and LAP-beta1; it can be assumed that TGF-beta1 is able to interact with the three molecules present in predentine. Earlier, LTBP-1 and LAP-beta1, both present at the EMJ, may contribute to odontoblast differentiation.

Abstract
Acidic and basic fibroblast growth factors (aFGF and bFGF), are both known to bind to extracellular matrix components, particularly proteoheparin sulfates, and to regulate in vitro proliferation, differentiation and morphology of cells of neuroectodermal and mesodermal origins. Their patterns of distribution were studied during mouse odontogenesis by means of indirect immunofluorescence and immunoperoxidase histochemistry on frozen fixed sections and after Bouin's fixative and paraffin embedding. Localization of aFGF on frozen fixed sections was observed in the oral epithelium, dental lamina and oral mesenchyme (day-12 of gestation), the stellate reticulum and oral epithelium (day-14), the stratum intermedium and at the basal and apical poles of preameloblasts at bell stage. After birth aFGF epitopes were localized within the predentin-dentin area, the stratum intermedium and at the secretory pole of ameloblasts. There was no staining with anti-aFGF antibodies after Bouin's fixative and paraffin embedding. In contrast, using this protocol, intense stainings were found with anti-bFGF antibodies predominantly within dental and peridental basement membranes and mesenchyme: staining of the dental basement membranes was transient (bud and cap stage) and discontinuous; a preferential concentration of bFGF epitopes in the condensed dental mesenchyme of incisors (cap stage) and the dental papillae mesenchymal cells of molars (bell stage) was observed in the posterior and the cervical part of tooth germs. An intense immunostaining of the stellate reticulum with anti-bFGF antibodies was also found on paraffin sections from bud to bell stage.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Day-14 lower incisors and day-18 first lower molars of mouse embryos produced in vitro transforming activities for non-confluent NRK cells co-cultured in agar, and mitogenic activities for exponentially growing NRK and BHK cells. The patterns of distribution of TGF beta 1 and EGF receptor, both known to regulate cell proliferation, differentiation and transformation in vitro and suspected to play important roles in developmental processes, were studied during mouse odontogenesis by means of indirect immunofluorescence on fixed or frozen fixed sections. TGF beta 1 epitopes were detected in the stellate reticulum of day-13 to day-16 incisors and of molars from day-17 onwards. Dental mesenchyme of day-14 incisors and postnatal molars, and peridental mesenchyme of bud and cap stage molars and incisors were also stained by TGF beta 1 antibodies. EGF receptor was localized in the enamel organs of incisors and molars; the inner dental epithelium and later the outer dental epithelium rapidly became negative while the stellate reticulum remained stained. Incisor apical mesenchyme showed an intense reaction with EGF receptor antibodies after birth.

Abstract
The effects of transferrin on the proliferation kinetics of these cells from day-14 lower first molars, cultured for 2-6 days in a chemically defined medium supplemented with 5 and 50 micrograms/ml of human diferric transferrin, were studied. Transferrin stimulated the mitotic and [3H]-thymidine labelling indices. These data were correlated with immunolocalization of the transferrin receptor using indirect immunofluorescence and specific monoclonal antibodies. The presence of specific transferrin receptors in pre-odontoblasts and pre-ameloblasts, and in ameloblasts of older teeth (day-18 to day-21), was also assessed by indirect immunofluorescence and binding experiments using iodinated transferrin.

Abstract
Localization of type IV collagen was analyzed at the ultrastructural level in mouse embryonic molars by using a preembedding technique. Cryostat sections were incubated with type IV collagen antibody and then treated with the peroxidase-antiperoxidase complex. This antibody was visualized at the epithelio-mesenchymal interface. Labeling was intense and uniformly distributed throughout the basement membrane. However, it was mainly restricted to the lamina densa. No immunostaining was detectable in the lamina lucida but it was crossed by fine filaments that appeared as projections from the lamina densa to the epithelial cell plasma membrane. At the mesenchymal aspect of the basement membrane, projections of labeled material extended from the lamina densa in the underlying dental mesenchyme. At the presecretory stage of odontoblasts, these projections were in close connection with mesenchymal cell processes.

Abstract
The distribution of type I, III, IV and V collagen in 35 gliomas and 20 meningiomas was studied by indirect immunofluorescence staining. In addition, the presence of fibronectin (FN) and laminin (LN) is also reported. In gliomas expression of type IV collagen and LN was found in the vessel walls and associated with the endothelial glomerulus-like proliferations. FN and type V collagens were located in proliferating vessel walls in a pattern corresponding both to the basement membrane and the perivascular matrix around the vessels. In the extracellular matrix of grade III and IV gliomas occasional faint intercellular fluorescence was also observed with both FN and type V collagen. Type I and III collagens were localised in the vessel walls and in the perivascular connective sheet. Glioma cells did not express any of the antigens investigated. In meningiomas, type IV and V collagens, LN and FN were found in vessel walls, whorls formations and psammoma bodies. These stainings support the hypothesis of a vascular origin of these psammoma bodies which were only found in syncytial and transitional meningiomas. Both type I and III collagens were detected in the perivascular connective tissue. In general, meningioma cells and extracellular matrix did not express any of these molecules, except in transitional meningiomas where occasional fluorescence was observed in extracellular matrix with type V collagen and FN.

Abstract
Forty laryngeal carcinomas were studied by immunofluorescence with specific antisera against components of the basement membrane (type IV collagen and laminin) as well as antisera against connective tissue antigens (type V collagen and fibronectin). The basement membrane surrounding well-differentiated squamous cell carcinomas showed an appearance similar to that seen beneath normal epithelium. In contrast, marked alterations of the basement membrane were constantly observed around infiltrating and poorly-differentiated carcinomas. The staining of connective tissue components in most cases was as intense in carcinomas as in normal laryngeal mucosa. The use of antibodies to basement membrane components may help to elucidate the mechanism of invasion of connective tissues by malignant cells.

Abstract
Brain extracts from 8-day-old chick embryos have been shown to influence morphological development of dissociated brain cells from 7-day-old chick embryos in culture. Stimulatory effects on size of the neuronal somas and on growth of long processes were observed by adding the cytosol of the brain extract or the dialysate of the cytosol. These morphological changes parallel modifications of various enzyme activities according to the age of the cultures. Adenyl cyclase, (Na+,K+)- and Mg2+-ATPase, 5'-nucleotidase, choline acetyltransferase, and acetylcholinesterase activities were studied between 5 and 14 days of culture. Adenyl cyclase activity was strongly stimulated at 8 days by both extracts. (Na+,K+)- and Mg2+-ATPase activities were stimulated in 8-day-old cultures only by the dialysate. 5'-Nucleotidase activity was stimulated in 8-day-old cultures by the dialysate and in 11-day-old cultures by both extracts. Choline acetyltransferase activity was stimulated by the cytosol in 8-day-old cultures and by the dialysate in 11-day-old cultures. The total acetylcholinesterase activity was higher in 8-, 11-, and 14-day-old cultures treated with the cytosol. When the cells were treated with the dialysate, the activity was only higher in 14-day-old cultures. We also found that following the addition of brain extracts, the specific activity of the enzymes we studied was enhanced and became close to the values found in vivo during embryogenesis. Thus in parallel to the morphological modifications observed in nerve cell cultures treated by embryo brain extracts, biochemical variations especially involved in synaptogenesis and membrane development could be measured.

Abstract
Fibroblast cells derived from human derm used between the 5th and 10th passage and submitted to an increase of over 16.5 mM in the glucose concentration of the medium, react by a decrease in the incorporation of [3H] thymidine into DNA. The intracellular proline pool is largely increased by the rise in glucose concentration while the incorporation of [U-14C] proline into total proteins and proteins digested by purified bacterial collagenase is also significantly enhanced. There is no specific effect on collagen synthesis and the apparent activation of total protein synthesis may depend on the enhancement of the free proline pool.

Abstract
The effects of serum deprivation, of dibutyryl-cyclic AMP (dBcAMP) and of theophylline on the morphology of cultured new-born rat astroblasts have been studied using Eagle's basal medium (BME) or Eagle's minimum essential medium (MEM) as culture media. Serum deprivation had no effect on cells cultured in BME, while in MEM, deprivation induced a rapid morphological transformation involving the appearance of multiple processes. This phenomenon was rapidly reversible when serum was again added. In serum-supplemented BME, dB-cAMP (1 mM) and theophylline (1 mM) had no effect. In serum-supplement MEM, theophylline (1 mM) had no effect while dB-cAMP (1 mM) induced a slower and poorly reversible morphological alteration. On the other hand cells in serum-free BME showed multiple processes after addition of dB-cAMP (1 mM) or theophylline (1 mM). This rapid alteration was completely reversed either by removal of dB-cAMP and theophylline or by addition of serum.
