Determination of expression and activity of genes involved in starch metabolism in Lactobacillus plantarum A6 during fermentation of a cereal-based gruel

Organized crime as a negative social phenomenon is certainly a problem of the state and its services. To effectively counter organized crime a basic prerequisite is knowledge of conditions or circumstances that contribute to its existence and operation. It is, therefore, very important to determine the most criminogenic factors that promote organized criminal activity in certain areas of the country. In this paper, in addition to general considerations on the concept of prevention, a special attention is given to factors that may adversely affect the expression of organized crime. These factors are presenting a solid basis for further operationalization in order to determine the possibility of manifestation of organized crime. Determination of their role is of particular importance because they have a wide use, primarily in preventive countering organized crime. However, the dynamism and flexibility of organized crime social changes require constant monitoring and updating of existing factors for an objective knowledge of the impact on the expression and activity of organized crime.

Facultative Symbiosis

AbstractAnimal-microbe facultative symbioses play a fundamental role in ecosystem and organismal health (1–3). Yet, due to the flexible nature of their association, the selection pressures acting on animals and their facultative symbionts remain elusive (4, 5). Here, by applying experimental evolution to a well-established model of facultative symbiosis: Drosophila melanogaster associated with Lactobacillus plantarum, one of its growth promoting symbiont (6, 7), we show that the diet, instead of the host, is a predominant driving force in the evolution of this symbiosis and identify the mechanism resulting from the bacterial adaptation to the diet, which confers host growth benefits. Our study reveals that adaptation to the diet can be the foremost step in the determination of the evolutionary course of a facultative symbiosis.
