Gene Families

10.0K
Gene families consist of groups of genes proposed to have originated from a common ancestor. Typically these arise through events in which a gene or genes are mistakenly duplicated during cell division. Unlike their parent genes (which are subject to selection pressure to maintain function), these gene copies do not need to preserve their sequences and may evolve at a relatively faster rate.
Occasionally these regions can be adapted to take on new roles within the organism, becoming novel genes...

The Roles of Bacteria and Fungi in Plant Nutrition

47.4K
Plants have the impressive ability to create their own food through photosynthesis. However, plants often require assistance from organisms in the soil to acquire the nutrients they need to function correctly. Both bacteria and fungi have evolved symbiotic relationships with plants that help the species to thrive in a wide variety of environments.

The Colonization of Land

37.8K
Changes in the environment of the early Earth drove the evolution of organisms. As prokaryotic organisms in the oceans began to photosynthesize, they produced oxygen. Eventually, oxygen saturated the oceans and entered the air, resulting in an increase in atmospheric oxygen concentration, known as the oxygen revolution approximately 2.3 billion years ago. Therefore, organisms that could use oxygen for cellular respiration had an advantage. More than 1.5 years ago, eukaryotic cells and...

Key Elements for Plant Nutrition

24.4K
Like all living organisms, plants require organic and inorganic nutrients to survive, reproduce, grow and maintain homeostasis. To identify nutrients that are essential for plant functioning, researchers have leveraged a technique called hydroponics. In hydroponic culture systems, plants are grown—without soil—in water-based solutions containing nutrients. At least 17 nutrients have been identified as essential elements required by plants. Plants acquire these elements from the...

Phase Transitions: Sublimation and Deposition

20.3K
Some solids can transition directly into the gaseous state, bypassing the liquid state, via a process known as sublimation. At room temperature and standard pressure, a piece of dry ice (solid CO2) sublimes, appearing to gradually disappear without ever forming any liquid. Snow and ice sublimate at temperatures below the melting point of water, a slow process that may be accelerated by winds and the reduced atmospheric pressures at high altitudes. When solid iodine is warmed, the solid sublimes...

Summary

Italian tourists contracted fungal infections of the foot, known as tinea pedis, likely from visiting Turkish mosques. Bifonazole cream effectively treated these infections, highlighting the importance of wearing socks in such locations.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Mycology
  • Infectious Diseases

Background:

  • Tinea pedis, a common fungal infection, can be acquired in various environments.
  • Understanding transmission routes is crucial for prevention, especially in shared or public spaces.

Observation:

  • Four Italian tourists presented with interdigital tinea pedis after visiting holy Muslim sites in Turkey.
  • Mycological examinations confirmed the presence of Trichophyton rubrum in all affected individuals.

Findings:

  • All four patients achieved successful treatment outcomes using bifonazole cream.
  • The treatment regimen involved a single daily application for three weeks.

Implications:

  • The findings suggest a potential risk of acquiring tinea pedis in Turkish mosques and holy sites.
  • Tourists are advised to wear socks when visiting such locations to mitigate infection risk.
