During World War II, in an effort to combat Nazi totalitariansm, men and women of good will in France formed a resistance movement against the Nazis. They came to be known as the Resistance fighters who bravely fought against the tide of the Nazi invasion. Today, once again there is a new growth of totalitarian supremacist ideology in the name of Islam and it is presently receiving protective status under the guise of religion; yet, today its legitamacy is derived on our own soil. The definition of "Islam" is submission and while we may state that we are not at war with Islam, Islam has declared war on us.
Mein Kampf (My Struggle) was the instrumental book that incited Germans to wage war against the Jews and incited millions in surrounding countries to submit to its supremacist totalitarian quest for world domination. Not unlike Mein Kampf, we now have on American soil an Islamic doctrine (Quran) that commands its practioners to wage war against all non-believers until Islam reigns supreme. "Slay the pagans(Christians) wherever ye find them and seize them, confine them, and lie in wait for them in every place of ambush" (Surah 9:5) and "So fight them until there is no more Fitnah (disbelief) and all submit to the religion of Allah alone (in the whole world)." (Quran: 8:39) These are just a few of the many passages littered throughout Quranic doctrine with the call for Jihad. Unlike Judeo/Christian doctrine, the violence in Quranic doctrine is instructional violence without a specific time frame. Those of us in today's Resistance Coalition have been referred to as Islamophobics, bigots, racists, and hatemongers, but in an upside down world it is we who are combatting the hate spewed by a doctrine that places all non-believers in what is referred to in Islam as Dar Al Harb (the House of War). Yes, the Quran segrated the world into Dar Al Islam (the House of Islam) and Dar Al Harb, reserved for all non-Muslims.
For the first time in American history we are providing a sanctuary to a doctrine that seeks our demise. The Quran which commands each Muslim to slay the unbelievers wherever they may find them is housed in every mosque. There are now over 2000 mosques funded by Saudi Arabian oil money throughout the United States. The colonization by the Umma (prosletyzation) is encouraged and financed by oil money and it matters not one iota that not all Muslims are Jihadists. It is a threat and affront to our existence and liberty that we give sanctuary to a dangerous doctrine that calls for our submission at best and slaughter at worst.
We in the West have been relatively safe from Islamic warfare by a distance that seperated us from its practioners. With the current influx of mass immigration from Islamic countries, we too will be impacted not only by Jihad, but a cultural degradation of women, homosexuals, Christians and Jews not unlike those that we witness throughout the globe wherever Muslims reside. If American campuses with active Muslim Brotherhood groups are a glimpse of the future, we only need to cast our eye on them to see how hostile they have become for Jewish students. We should expect nothing less for the general American population when their numbers become sufficiently large in cities throughout the country.
As an American, a Jew, and a woman I now feel threatened. The question I am often asked is how could we have let this happen? Where are our government officials? Where are our clegymen? Where is the media? Where are our intellectual elites and who is looking out for us? Why must we be subjected and expected to tolerate a political doctrine that calls for our demise?
It has become increasingly clear that with the exception of a few brave souls in government who had the courage to confront the usual Muslim Brotherhood front groups, we can no longer expect government to protect us. It is now up to the populace to take a stand and become the citizen warriors against a powerful retrogade army of Mohammadans. Yes, there are over a billion Muslims, but their numbers give testimony not to the draw of Islam, but to the power of the sword. Today, as throughout history, it is the sword that is employed by Islam's faithful.
Our own Resistance consists of brave warriors such as Brigitte Gabriel, Pamela Geller, Rober Spencer, Janet Levy, and Nonie Darwish, a few of the many fighters who are sounding the alarm. Victory demands that we identify the enemy and that we unite in our effort to defeat Islam on our shores. We can begin with several necessary steps.
Education: In our effort to educate the American public about Islam, we must familiarize Americans with Islamic doctrine. The slogan "Why Islam?" must become "Why not Islam?" Reliance of the Traveller is the recogized official translation of Islamic jurisprudence by Al Azhar, the leading Islamic University in Egypt. A copy of the Traveller must be sent to every major newspaper editor in the country and every government official in Washington D.C. Copies must be sent to University libraries, local school boards and local libraries throughout the country with passages at odds with our Constitution highlighted.
Mosques: Mosques must be declared "Command Centers" thus, they must be declared illegal. It is there that a call to arms is made and it is there that the daily recitation cursing non-believers are recited in prayers five times a day. "Guide us to the straigh path, the path of those whom You have favored, Not those who have incured your wrath, nor of those who have gone astray." The prhase "those who have incurred your wrath" comes from Surah 2:61 which says, "Shame and misery were stamped upon {the Israelites} and they incurred the wrath of Allah; because they disbelieved Allah's signs and slew His Prophets unjustly; because they were rebels and transgressors.
Immigration: Americans must ask for a halt to immigration from Islamic countries. Failure by an elected official to support the halt should be met with removal from office. As during World War II we refused entry to Germans regardless of their political support for Nazism; today we must do the same with those who practice Islam.
Muslim Brotherhood Front Groups: Groups such as the Muslim Student Association, CAIR, and MPAC (Mulsim Political Action Committee) among many others must be outlawed as subversive seditious organization that undermine our Constitution and survival.
Judicial System: When opportunity arrises we must use the courts to enjoin preferential accomodations to Muslims in the public sector under the guise of religious freedom. We need our own ACLU and judicial organizations such as Judicial Watch, Freedom Works, and the American Center for Law and Justice should lend their support when needed.
ACTivism: We are the foot soldiers on the ground. It is up to each and every one of us to spread the word and we can do that by sharing information with family and friends. We can write letters to our local papers, the mainstream media, and to our elected officials.
Support: It is imperative that we support the organizations and those that are on the forefront of this battle.
All of the above steps will require financial support. We are in a battle against billions of dollars of Islamic oil money, and it will require those with deep pockets to step up to the plate. We must recognize that the seeds of war have been planted here at home. Our Constitution is under attack from within and an Islamic doctrine that threatens our demise unless we submit must not be given sanctuary or a home in the land of liberty.

Simple Church: Returning to God's Process for Making Disciples
B&H Publishing Group, 2006 - Religion - 257 pages
The simple revolution has begun. From the design of the iPod to the uncluttered Google home page, simple ideas are changing the world.
Simple Churchclearly calls for Christians to return to the simple gospel-sharing methods of Jesus. No bells or whistles required, so to speak.
Based on case studies of four hundred American churches, authors Thom Rainer and Eric Geiger prove that the process for making disciples has quite often become too complex. Simple churches are thriving, and they are doing so by taking these four ideas to heart: Clarity. Movement. Alignment. Focus.
Each idea is examined here, simply showing why it is time to simplify.

James Ashton: Here's the way to hand real power to women
James Ashton
Head of Business at London Evening Standard, The Independent, Independent on Sunday, i
Friday 03 May 2013
Sir Roger Carr was back beating the drum for greater diversity at the top of British companies at an Ernst & Young reception on Tuesday night.
The CBI president and Centrica chairman flagged up research from McKinsey that showed attrition rates for men and women as they climb the greasy pole are similar at all levels – only the promotion rates are very different.
In fact, men are 10 times more likely to make partner in a law firm and three times as likely in the accountancy world – suggesting that ambitious female lawyers should divert their efforts into bean-counting if they want to get on.
The worry is that the pace of recruitment of women into the boardroom is slowing. It is not something I'm overly concerned by. Restocking boards needs a good supply, and it's only natural that the best sort of pipelines take a long time to stock.
Better if the debate focused less on expanding the army of female non-executive directors and more on putting women – and other minorities in the business world – into the full-time management roles where the real power is wielded.

Sep 30, 2012, 8:25 PM EDT
One would be hard-pressed to find a pair of seasons more similar than these two: 4-2, 45 Sv, 5 ER, 9 R, 41 H, 2 HR, 73/4 K/BB in 73 1/3 IP 2-2, 46 Sv, 5 ER, 9 R, 41 H, 2 HR, 74/15 K/BB in 73 1/3 IP The first is Dennis Eckersley's record-setting…
Tigers win, White Sox fall three back with three to play
Sep 30, 2012, 5:32 PM EDT
The Tigers bested the Twins 2-1 in Minnesota on Sunday, but the White Sox failed to keep pace, losing 6-2 to the Rays to fall three games back in the AL Central with three to play. B.J. Upton hit his 27th and 28th homers for Tampa Bay, and David Price was in control, yielding two…
Quote of the day: Jim Leyland on Fernando Rodney
Sep 28, 2012, 7:01 PM EDT
Jim Leyland and Fernando Rodney no longer wear the same uniform, but they do share a common goal, as the hopes of both the Tigers and Rays currently hinge on the performance of the White Sox. Rodney was able to close out Tampa Bay's win over Chicago Thursday in the first game of a four-game…
Fernando Rodney is one scoreless inning from tying Dennis Eckersley's ERA record
Sep 28, 2012, 12:16 PM EDT
There are a lot of crazy stats within Fernando Rodney's amazing comeback season for the Rays, including the fact that he converted his 46th save in 48 chances last night and now has a 72/16 K/BB ratio in 72.1 innings at age 35 after walking more batters than he struck out for the Angels last…
Rays top White Sox for eighth straight victory
Sep 27, 2012, 11:36 PM EDT
A week ago it appeared the Rays may be reduced to the role of spoiler when they faced the White Sox and Orioles in their final seven games of the season. Now, they're right back in it after winning their eighth straight game on Thursday night against the Pale Hose. Evan Longoria homered in the…
No, Jayson Stark, Craig Kimbrel is not the NL Cy Young
Sep 22, 2012, 5:16 PM EDT
ESPN's Jayson Stark built his Cy Young case for Craig Kimbrel in Friday's column. It's chock full of some delicious statistics that demonstrate Kimbrel's unprecedented accomplishments, and it's well worth reading. It's actually a really good column. I just totally disagree with the premise. Now, I'm not one to say relievers don't deserve consideration for…
Behind James Shields, Rays set AL record for strikeouts
Sep 21, 2012, 11:52 PM EDT
Rays right-hander James Shields reached 200 strikeouts for the second straight season Friday in a 12-1 win over the Blue Jays. Along the way, he recorded the team's 1,267 strikeout, breaking the American League record set by the 2001 Yankees. J.P. Arencibia was the victim. It was Shields' third strikeout of the night on his…
CC Sabathia disappoints as Rays down Yankees
Sep 14, 2012, 10:55 PM EDT
CC Sabathia is the game's highest-paid hurler, but David Price has pretty obviously supplanted him as the AL East's best pitcher. Tampa Bay's ace picked up his league-leading 18th win Friday as the Rays topped the Yankees 6-4. Price allowed two runs in seven innings to become the AL's first to 18 victories. Sabathia gave…

Lipid abnormalities are a common complication of kidney transplantation, occurring in up to 60% of patients. In fact, impairment of lipid metabolism is often present before renal transplantation due to the uremic state. After transplantation and recovery of renal function, lipid disturbances usually persist but show a different profile due to the various effects of immunosuppressive drugs on lipid metabolism. Actually, steroids, calcineurin inhibitors, and mammalian target of rapamycin inhibitors usually lead to quantitative and qualitative abnormalities of very low-density, low-density, and high-density lipoproteins. As cardiovascular diseases remain the leading cause of death in renal transplant recipients, management of dyslipidemia and other traditional risk factors, such as smoking, arterial hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and obesity, is of great importance to prevent cardiovascular complications and chronic allograft dysfunction. This review addresses the causes of dyslipidemia, the role of immunosuppressive drugs, and current recommendations to manage lipid disorders in renal transplant recipients.

Medical Herbs, Do Herbal Cures Work?
This is a subject of controversy. While many medical herbs do have healing properties, most herbal practitioners are quick to tell you that they are not meant to cure any disease. Most physicians will also tell you while herbs may have value; they are not a replacement for prescription drugs. What do you believe? It makes sense to research whatever herbal treatment you are considering and if you have a serious medical condition you need to use supplements with the approval of your doctor.
Herbs have been in use since the beginning of time, long before there were doctors. Many medications commonly used today are derived from plants. Aspirin, digitalis, opium, and quinine are all derived from plants. Approximately 25% of drugs in use today come from plants. The other problem with herbal supplements is that they are not regulated by the FDA until they are on the market. If they prove to be harmful, then the FDA can step in and remove them from the market, but its kind of like closing the barn door when the horse is already out. So called scientific studies may not always be reliable because they are not closely regulated. Even so, the World Health Organization tells us that 80% of the population uses herbal remedies in some form.
There are four approaches to the use of plants as medicine. In undeveloped countries the shaman or magical approach is used. The shaman is said to have powers to use herbs that ordinary people do not have. The energetic approach, such as Ayurveda tells us that herbs act on the energies of the body. The functional dynamics use herbs based on their function. The chemical approach attempts to explain the use of herbs based on their chemical make up. Most modern herbalists do not endorse herbs for use in an emergency situation, but rather believe they improve the health and immunity over the long term.
They tend to focus on prevention and immune support rather than cures.
It is difficult to separate the hype from the truth. Tradition has it that drinking your own urine will cure almost anything. Good luck. Maybe in an extreme emergency.
Medical herbs have value and many doctors prescribe their use along with traditional prescription medications. When you think about it, how many medications actually cure disease? They may alleviate the symptoms, control the disease, or prevent it from advancing, but many chronic diseases have no cure. They can only be managed, so if use of herbs can prevent disease in the first place, it may be worth a try.
It's just plain wise to be cautious and consult your physician first.

Article: Generation, annotation, and analysis of ESTs from four different Trichoderma strains grown under conditions related to biocontrol[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The functional genomics project "TrichoEST" was developed focused on different taxonomic groups of Trichoderma with biocontrol potential. Four cDNA libraries were constructed, using similar growth conditions, from four different Trichoderma strains: Trichoderma longibrachiatum T52, Trichoderma asperellum T53, Trichoderma virens T59, and Trichoderma sp. T78. In this study, we present the analysis of the 8,160 expressed sequence tags (ESTs) generated. Each EST library was independently assembled and 1,000-1,300 unique sequences were identified in each strain. First, we queried our collection of ESTs against the NCBI nonredundant database using the BLASTX algorithm. Moreover, using the Gene Ontology hierarchy, we performed the annotation of 40.9% of the unique sequences. Later, based on the EST abundance, we examined the highly expressed genes in the four strains. A hydrophobin was found as the gene expressed at the highest level in two of the strains, but we also found that other unique sequences similar to the HEX1, QID3, and NMT1 proteins were highly represented in at least two of the Trichoderma strains.Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology 07/2007; 75(4):853-62.

Article: Characterization of genes encoding novel peptidases in the biocontrol fungus Trichoderma harzianum CECT 2413 using the TrichoEST functional genomics approach[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Proteolytic enzymes (EC 3.4) secreted by Trichoderma strains are receiving increasing attention because of their potential implication in the Trichoderma biocontrol abilities. We have used an expressed sequence tag (EST) approach to identify genes encoding extracellular peptidases in T. harzianum CECT 2413 grown under several biocontrol-related conditions. Based on BlastX results and Gene Ontology annotation, a total of 61 (among 3478) unique sequences (unisequences) were predicted to encode enzymes with peptidase activity, three corresponding to secreted peptidases already known from this Trichoderma strain (PAPA, PRA1 and P6281). Further manual screening based on the functional identity and cellular location of the best matches revealed ten unisequences encoding novel extracellular peptidases. We report the characterization of the corresponding genes as well as a potential orthologous gene of the intracellular peptidase PAPB from T. asperellum. In each case, full-length coding sequences were obtained, and deduced proteins were compared at phylogenetic level with peptidases from other organisms. T. harzianum CECT 2413 novel peptidases included six serine endopeptidases (EC 3.4.21) belonging to the families S1, S8 and S53, three aspartic endopeptidases (EC 3.4.23) of the family A1, one metallo-endopeptidase (EC 3.4.24) of the family M35, and one aminopeptidase (EC 3.4.11) of the family M28. Results obtained by Northern blot analyses demonstrated that the genes within a family are differentially regulated in response to different culture conditions, suggesting that they have diverse functional roles.Current Genetics 06/2007; 51(5):331-42.

Article: Partial silencing of a hydroxy-methylglutaryl-CoA reductase-encoding gene in Trichoderma harzianum CECT 2413 results in a lower level of resistance to lovastatin and lower antifungal activity[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: In the present article, we describe the cloning and characterization of the Trichoderma harzianum hmgR gene encoding a hydroxymethylglutaryl CoA reductase (HMGR), a key enzyme in the biosynthesis of terpene compounds. In T. harzianum, partial silencing of the hmgR gene gave rise to transformants with a higher level of sensitivity to lovastatin, a competitive inhibitor of the HMGR enzyme. In addition, these hmgR-silenced transformants produced lower levels of ergosterol than the wild-type strain in a minimal medium containing lovastatin. The silenced transformants showed a decrease in hmgR gene expression (up to a 8.4-fold, after 72h of incubation), together with an increase in the expression of erg7 (up to a 15.8-fold, after 72h of incubation), a gene involved in the biosynthesis of triterpenes. Finally, hmgR-silenced transformants showed a reduction in their antifungal activity against the plant-pathogen fungi Rhizoctonia solani and Fusarium oxysporum.Fungal Genetics and Biology 05/2007; 44(4):269-83.

Article: Ultrastructural and chemotaxonomic analysis of a xylanolytic strain of Cryptococcus adeliensis isolated from sheep droppings in Spain[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Cryptococcus adeliensis was initially described as a psycrophilic species containing a single strain CBS 8351(T) isolated from decayed algae in Terre Adelie (Antartida). Later, a second strain of this species was isolated from an immunosuppressed patient affected by leukaemia in Germany and recently several strains from this species have been found in human patients and pigeon droppings of the same country. In this study, we isolated from sheep droppings in Spain a xylanolytic strain named LEVX01 that was phenotypically related to the strain CBS 8351(T) and showed a 100% similarity in the D1/D2 domain and 5.8S-ITS region sequences with respect to the remaining described strains of C. adeliensis. These findings suggest that this species has a wide geographical distribution and that the animal faeces are a common habitat for C. adeliensis. The chemotaxonomic analyses showed the absence of detectable amounts of xylose in the cell walls of the strains LEVX01 and CBS8351(T) in contrast to other Cryptococcus species. Interestingly, the ultrastructural study showed the presence of fimbriae in these two strains that could be involved in the attachment to the host cells and, as occurs in Candida albicans, they could also be a pathogenicity factor for the man.Archives of Microbiology 10/2006; 186(3):195-202.

Article: A comparison of the phenotypic and genetic stability of recombinant Trichoderma spp. generated by protoplast- and Agrobacterium-mediated transformation[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Four different Trichoderma strains, T. harzianum CECT 2413, T. asperellum T53, T. atroviride T11 and T. longibrachiatum T52, which represent three of the four sections contained in this genus, were transformed by two different techniques: a protocol based on the isolation of protoplasts and a protocol based on Agrobacterium-mediated transformation. Both methods were set up using hygromycin B or phleomycin resistance as the selection markers. Using these techniques, we obtained phenotypically stable transformants of these four different strains. The highest transformation efficiencies were obtained with the T. longibrachiatum T52 strain: 65-70 transformants/microg DNA when transformed with the plasmid pAN7-1 (hygromycin B resistance) and 280 transformants/107 spores when the Agrobacterium-mediated transformation was performed with the plasmid pUR5750 (hygromycin B resistance). Overall, the genetic analysis of the transformants showed that some of the strains integrated and maintained the transforming DNA in their genome throughout the entire transformation and selection process. In other cases, the integrated DNA was lost.The Journal of Microbiology 09/2006; 44(4):383-95. · 1.53 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: The generation of a wide ESTs library and database from Trichoderma harzianum CECT 2413 was the base for identifying the gene ThPTR2, coding for a PTR family di/tri-peptide transporter. The deduced protein sequence of the ThPTR2 gene showed the conserved motifs and also the 12 transmembrane domains typical of the PTR transporters. The highest level of ThPTR2 expression was found when the fungus was grown in chitin as sole carbon source. We also found that ThPTR2 expression was increased when Trichoderma interacted directly in solid medium with the plant-pathogenic fungus Botrytis cinerea, showing that ThPTR2 is involved in the mycoparasitic process. Additionally, its expression was triggered by nitrogen starvation and a higher level of expression was also found when Trichoderma was grown in secondary nitrogen sources like allantoin, yeast extract, and urea. However, no difference was found when Trichoderma was grown in presence or absence of glucose as carbon source. Strain T34-15, a transformant that overexpressed the ThPTR2 gene, showed about a 2-fold increase in the uptake of the dipeptide Leu-Leu. Additionally, two transformants from the strain Trichoderma longibrachiatum T52 that overexpressed ThPTR2 were also studied, confirming the role of this gene in peptide transport. Other homologous genes to ThPTR2 were identified in other Trichoderma strains. ThPTR2 is the first experimentally confirmed PTR family transporter gene from filamentous fungi.Fungal Genetics and Biology 05/2006; 43(4):234-46. DOI:10.1016/j.fgb.2005.12.003 · 3.26 Impact Factor
Article: Cloning and characterization of the erg1 gene of Trichoderma harzianum: Effect of the erg1 silencing on ergosterol biosynthesis and resistance to terbinafine[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Trichoderma species are commonly used as biocontrol agents of different plant-pathogenic fungi. Terpene compounds are involved in the biocontrol process due to their antifungal properties (e.g., ergokonins and viridins) but additionally their structural function in the cell membranes (ergosterol) is essential. We report here the characterization of the T. harzianum erg1 gene, encoding a squalene epoxidase, a key enzyme in the biosynthesis of triterpene derivatives such as ergosterol. In T. harzianum the partial silencing of the erg1 gene gave rise to transformants with a higher level of sensitivity to terbinafine, an antifungal compound that acts specifically over the squalene epoxidase activity. In addition, these silenced transformants produced lower levels of ergosterol than the wild type strain. Finally, the silencing of the erg1 gene resulted in an increase in the expression level of the erg7 gene that encodes the oxidosqualene lanosterol-cyclase, another enzyme of the terpene biosynthesis pathway.Fungal Genetics and Biology 04/2006; 43(3):164-78.

Article: Identification and characterization of potato protease inhibitors able to inhibit pathogenicity and growth of Botrytis cinerea[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Different tissues of potato, tobacco, and bean plants were screened for anti-fungal protease inhibitor (PI) activity, also following fungal pathogen inoculation or mechanical wounding. A potato (Solanum tuberosum var. Desireé) sprout protein extract showed a strong inhibitory activity against chymotrypsin and Botrytis cinerea fungal proteases, but also on spore germination, hyphal elongation, and development of necrotic lesions. An active mixture of different proteins was affinity column purified and sequenced. Two new anti-fungal genes, PKI1 and PPI3B2, coding, respectively, for a Kunitz-type inhibitor and a Proteinase Inhibitor 1 capable of reducing fungal lesion development, were cloned and partially characterized. Direct effect on leaf necrosis formation was found to be dependent on the anti-chymotrypsin activity of both selected inhibitors. The PKI1 transcript was found to accumulate in untreated sprout tissues, although homologues of this gene seemed to accumulate following Bemisia tabaci attack. In the case of PPI3B2, we provide preliminary evidence that a member of the Proteinase Inhibitor 1 family is active against not only herbivorous insects but also phytopathogenic fungi and foliar lesions caused by them.Physiological and Molecular Plant Pathology 04/2006; DOI:10.1016/j.pmpp.2006.09.004 · 1.99 Impact Factor
Article: Detection of peptaibols and partial cloning of a putative peptaibol synthetase gene fromT. harzianum CECT 2413[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The characterization of 11- and 18-residue peptaibols (peptides synthesized by peptide synthetases) at Trichoderma harzianum CECT 2413 (a filamentous fungus) was performed. Using a heterologous probe from tex1, the only peptaibol synthetase cloned and characterized so far in Trichoderma species, was cloned; a region that comprised 11676 bp of a second peptide synthetase gene detected in these strain (called salps2) and sequenced. The deduced sequence of Salps2 (3891 amino acids) contained three complete and a fourth incomplete module of a peptide synthetase, in which the typical adenylation, thiolation and condensation domains were found, but also an additional dehydrogenase/reductase domain in the C-terminus of the last module. Based on sequence similarity and analysis of its modular structure, it is proposed that Salps2 is a peptaibol synthetase. Additionally, analysis of =4.4-kb sequence downstream of salps2 was done and the signature sequences of Salps2 were identified and compared with those of available sequences of the other Trichoderma peptaibol synthetases.Folia Microbiologica 02/2006; 51(2):114-20.

ABSTRACT: The filamentous fungus Trichoderma harzianum is used as biological control agent of several plant-pathogenic fungi. In order to study the genome of this fungus, a functional genomics project called "TrichoEST" was developed to give insights into genes involved in biological control activities using an approach based on the generation of expressed sequence tags (ESTs). Eight different cDNA libraries from T. harzianum strain CECT 2413 were constructed. Different growth conditions involving mainly different nutrient conditions and/or stresses were used. We here present the analysis of the 8,710 ESTs generated. A total of 3,478 unique sequences were identified of which 81.4% had sequence similarity with GenBank entries, using the BLASTX algorithm. Using the Gene Ontology hierarchy, we performed the annotation of 51.1% of the unique sequences and compared its distribution among the gene libraries. Additionally, the InterProScan algorithm was used in order to further characterize the sequences. The identification of the putatively secreted proteins was also carried out. Later, based on the EST abundance, we examined the highly expressed genes and a hydrophobin was identified as the gene expressed at the highest level. We compared our collection of ESTs with the previous collections obtained from Trichoderma species and we also compared our sequence set with different complete eukaryotic genomes from several animals, plants and fungi. Accordingly, the presence of similar sequences in different kingdoms was also studied. This EST collection and its annotation provide a significant resource for basic and applied research on T. harzianum, a fungus with a high biotechnological interest.BMC Genomics 02/2006; 7:193.

Article: Detection of potentially valuable polymorphisms in four group I intron insertion sites at the 3'-end of the LSU rDNA genes in biocontrol isolates of Metarhizium anisopliae[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The entomopathogenic anamorphic fungus Metarhizum anisopliae is currently used as a biocontrol agent (BCA) of insects. In the present work, we analyzed the sequence data obtained from group I introns in the large subunit (LSU) of rDNA genes with a view to determining the genetic diversity present in an autochthonous collection of twenty-six M. anisopliae isolates selected as BCAs. DNA fragments corresponding to the 3'-end of the nuclear LSU rDNA genes of 26 M. anisopliae isolates were amplified by PCR. The amplicon sizes ranged from 0.8 to 3.4-kb. Four intron insertion sites, according to Escherichia coli J01695 numbering, were detected--Ec1921, Ec2066, Ec2449 and Ec2563--after sequencing and analysis of the PCR products. The presence/absence of introns allowed the 26 isolates to be distributed into seven genotypes. Nine of the isolates tested showed no introns, 4 had only one, 3 two, and 10 displayed three introns. The most frequent insertion sites were Ec1921 and Ec2449. Of the 26 isolates, 11 showed insertions at Ec2563 and a 1754-bp sequence was observed in ten of them. The most-parsimonious (MP) tree obtained from parsimony analysis of the introns revealed a main set containing four-groups that corresponded to the four insertion sites. Four insertion sites of group I introns in the LSU rDNA genes allowed the establishment of seven genotypes among the twenty-six biocontrol isolates of M. anisopliae. Intron insertions at the Ec2563 site were observed for first time in this species.BMC Microbiology 02/2006; 6:77. DOI:10.1186/1471-2180-6-77 · 2.98 Impact Factor
Article: Screening of antimicrobial activities in Trichoderma isolates representing three trichoderma sections.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Methanol extracts from 24 Trichoderma isolates, selected as biocontrol agents and representating different species and genotypes from three of the four taxonomic sections of this genus (T. sect. Trichoderma, T. sect. Pachybasium and T. sect. Longibrachiatum) were screened for antibacterial, anti-yeast and antifungal activities against a panel of seven bacteria, seven yeasts and six filamentous fungi previously used in similar studies. Two different growth media were tested (potato dextrose broth and CYS80), and all isolates included in the antimicrobial tests showed at least one inhibitory activity against one of the target microorganisms in one of the two culture media. No statistically significant differences were detected in the number of active strains between the two culture media, but the highest number of inhibitory strains against bacteria and fungi were found in strains from Trichoderma sect. Pachybasium, whereas strains from T. sect. Longibrachiatum showed the highest anti-yeast values. In all cases, a correlation was found between the strains that were active against yeasts and fungi. However, some degree of variability was detected for strains within the same taxonomic section. In general terms, strains from T. asperellum (mainly in CYS80 medium), and T. longibrachiatum gave the best non-enzymatic antimicrobial profiles.Mycological Research 01/2006; 109(Pt 12):1397-406.

Article: Proteomic analysis of secreted proteins from Trichoderma harzianum. Identification of a fungal cell wall-induced aspartic protease.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Trichoderma mycoparasitic activity depends on the secretion of complex mixtures of hydrolytic enzymes able to degrade the host cell wall. We have analysed the extracellular proteome secreted by T. harzianum CECT 2413 in the presence of different fungal cell walls. Significant differences were detected in 2DE maps, depending on the use of specific cell walls or chitin. A combination of MALDI-TOF and liquid chromatography mass spectrometry allowed the identification of a novel aspartic protease (P6281: MW 33 and pI 4.3) highly induced by fungal cell walls. A broad EST library from T. harzianum CECT 2413 was used to obtain the full-length sequence. The protein showed 44% identity with the polyporopepsin (EC 126.96.36.199) from the basidiomycete Irpex lacteus.

ABSTRACT: A Gram-positive, aerobic, long-rod-shaped, non-spore-forming bacterium (strain PPLB(T)) was isolated from soil mixed with Iberian pig hair. This actinomycete showed keratinase activity in vitro when chicken feathers were added to the culture medium. Strain PPLB(T) was oxidase-negative and catalase-positive and produced lipase and esterase lipase. This actinomycete grew at 40 degrees C on nutrient agar and in the same medium containing 5 % (w/v) NaCl. Growth was observed with many different carbohydrates as the sole carbon source. On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity, strain PPLB(T) was shown to belong to the genus Terrabacter of the family Intrasporangiaceae. Strain PPLB(T) showed 98.8 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity to Terrabacter tumescens. Chemotaxonomic data, such as the main ubiquinone (MK-8), the main polar lipids (phosphatidylethanolamine, diphosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylinositol) and the main fatty acids (i-C(15 : 0), ai-C(15 : 0), i-C(16 : 0) and ai-C(17 : 0)) supported the affiliation of strain PPLB(T) to the genus Terrabacter. The G+C content of the DNA was 71 mol%. The results of DNA-DNA hybridization (36.6 % relatedness between Terrabacter tumescens and strain PPLB(T)) and physiological and biochemical tests suggested that strain PPLB(T) belongs to a novel species of the genus Terrabacter, for which the name Terrabacter terrae sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is PPLB(T) (=CECT 3379T=LMG 22921T).International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology 12/2005; 55(Pt 6):2491-5. DOI:10.1099/ijs.0.63768-0 · 2.80 Impact Factor
Article: Thiourea, triazole and thiadiazine compounds and their metal complexes as antifungal agents[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Many currently available antifungal and antibacterial agents have undesirable toxic effects, and a wide spread use of these drugs has lead to rapid development of drug resistant strains which are the leading cause for treatment failure in both clinical and agricultural applications. The present article provides a synopsis of recent progress in investigations of new classes of antifungal compounds: disubstituted aliphatic and aromatic thioureas, triazole and thiazine compounds which act as ligands for transition metals. Antifungal effects of these compounds and selected metallic complexes versus representative plant pathogenic fungi are reviewed.Journal of Inorganic Biochemistry 09/2005; 99(8):1558-72.

Article: BGN16.3, a novel acidic beta-1,6-glucanase from mycoparasitic fungus Trichoderma harzianum CECT 2413.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: A new component of the beta-1,6-glucanase (EC 188.8.131.52) multienzymatic complex secreted by Trichoderma harzianum has been identified and fully characterized. The protein, namely BGN16.3, is the third isozyme displaying endo-beta-1,6-glucanase activity described up to now in T. harzianum CECT 2413. BGN16.3 is an acidic beta-1,6-glucanase that is specifically induced by the presence of fungal cell walls in T. harzianum growth media. The protein was purified to electrophoretical homogenity using its affinity to beta-1,6-glucan as first purification step, followed by chomatofocusing and gel filtration. BGN16.3 has a molecular mass of 46 kDa in SDS/PAGE and a pI of 4.5. The enzyme only showed activity against substrates with beta-1,6-glycosidic linkages, and it has an endohydrolytic mode of action as shown by HPLC analysis of the products of pustulan hydrolysis. The expression profile analysis of BGN16.3 showed a carbon source control of the accumulation of the enzyme, which is fast and strongly induced by fungal cell walls, a condition often regarded as mycoparasitic simulation. The likely involvement beta-1,6-glucanases in this process is discussed.FEBS Journal 08/2005; 272(13):3441-8. DOI:10.1111/j.1742-4658.2005.04762.x · 3.99 Impact Factor
Article: Detection of putative peptide synthetase genes in Trichoderma species: Application of this method to the cloning of a gene from T. harzianum CECT 2413[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Some of the secondary metabolites produced by Trichoderma, such as the peptaibols and other antibiotics, have a peptide structure and in their biosynthesis are involved proteins belonging to the Non-Ribosomal Peptide Synthetase family. In the present work, a PCR-mediated strategy was used to clone a region corresponding to an adenylation domain of a peptide synthetase (PS) gene from 10 different strains of Trichoderma. In addition, and using the fragment isolated by PCR from T. harzianum CECT 2413 as a probe, a fragment of 19.0 kb corresponding to a PS-encoding gene named salps1, including a 1.5 kb fragment of the promoter, was cloned and sequenced. The cloned region of salps1 contains four complete, and a fifth incomplete, modules, in which are found the adenylation, thiolation and condensation domains, but also an additional epimerization domain at the C-terminal end of the first module. The analysis of the Salps1 protein sequence, taking into consideration published data, suggests that it is neither a peptaibol synthetase nor a protein involved in siderophore biosynthesis. The presence of two breaks in the open reading frame and the expression of this gene under nitrogen starvation conditions suggest that salps1 could be a pseudogene.FEMS Microbiology Letters 04/2005; 244(1):139-48.

Article: Specific PCR Assays for the Detection and Quantification of DNA from the Biocontrol Strain Trichoderma harzianum 2413 in Soil[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Strain identification in situ is an important factor in the monitoring of microorganisms used in the field. In this study, we demonstrated the use of sequence-characterized amplified region (SCAR) markers to detect genomic DNA from Trichoderma harzianum 2413 from soil. Two primers (SCAR A1/SCAR A1c) were tested against DNA of 27 isolates of Trichoderma spp. and amplified a 990-bp fragment from T. atroviride 11 and a 1.5-kb fragment from T. harzianum 2413, using an annealing temperature of 68 degrees C. These fragments showed no significant homology to any sequence deposited in the databases. The primer pair, BR1 and BR2, was designed to the 1.5-kb fragment amplified from T. harzianum 2413, generating a SCAR marker. To test the specificity of these primers, experiments were conducted using the DNA from 27 Trichoderma spp. strains and 22 field soil samples obtained from four different countries. PCR results showed that BR1 and BR2 amplified an 837-bp fragment unique to T. harzianum 2413. Assays in which total DNA was extracted from sterile and nonsterile soil samples, inoculated with spore or mycelium combinations of Trichoderma spp. strains, indicated that the BR1 and BR2 primers could specifically detect T. harzianum 2413 in a pool of mixed DNA. No other soil-microorganisms containing these sequences were amplified using these primers. To test whether the 837-bp SCAR marker of T. harzianum 2413 could be used in real-time PCR experiments, new primers (Q2413f and Q2413r) conjugated with a TaqMan fluorogenic probe were designed. Real-time PCR assays were applied using DNA from sterile and nonsterile soil samples inoculated with a known quantity of spores of Trichoderma spp. strains.Microbial Ecology 02/2005; 49(1):25-33.

Article: Expression of an α-1,3-glucanase during mycoparasitic interaction of Trichoderma asperellum[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Trichoderma species have been investigated as biological control agents for over 70 years owing to their ability to antagonize plant pathogenic fungi. Mycoparasitism, one of the main mechanisms involved in the antagonistic activity of Trichoderma strains, depends on the secretion of complex mixtures of hydrolytic enzymes able to degrade the host cell wall. The antifungal activity of an alpha-1,3-glucanase (EC 184.108.40.206, enzymes able to degrade alpha-1,3-glucans and also named mutanases) has been described in T. harzianum and its role in mycoparasitic processes has been suggested. In this study, we report on the purification, characterization and cloning of an exo-alpha-1,3-glucanase, namely AGN13.2, from the antagonistic fungus T. asperellum T32. Expression at the transcription level in confrontation assays against the strawberry pathogen Botrytis cinerea strongly supports the role of AGN13.2 during the antagonistic action of T. asperellum.FEBS Journal 02/2005; 272(2):493-9.

Rated 2 out of 5 by Shonze from nice blinds, wrong fit Had purchased these for my patio door, as I get afternoon sun and have a dog that likes to be outside. Unfortunately the way they need to be mounted, they do not fit inside the frame (way to big) and to fit outside of the frame they will have to hang over the frame and not hang right to cover the door. So unfortunately they will have to be returned.

Rated 3 out of 5 by bousy from Store pour porte-patio à mini-lamelles Ce n'est pas la première queje commande un store comme celui-ci.C'est pratique car on n' a pas à fermer le store complètement si le soleil nous dérange, on choisi la hauteur nécessaire, je n'aime pas devoir un store au complet à cause du soleil dérangeant. On peut aussi fermer un seul côté à la fois, ce qui est aussi un autre avantage. Le rapport qualité/prix est bon. J'ai essayé de trouver un store semblable dans d'autres magasins mais sans résultat, sauf si on le fait faire sur mesure (prix trop élevé). Ce store est facile à installer. Plusieurs couleurs sont disponibles.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Saulnierville from Mini Patio Blinds I've found these blinds to be "light-weight," easy to install, and works adequately for my sunroom. Good selection of colors available, although I wish the color swatches on-line were larger so one could get a better idea of the color. I ordered "bark" and have been satisfied with both the color selection, ease of installation and window coverage.

Rated 5 out of 5 by AlwaysGabby from Patio Door Blinds We were really pleased with the patio blinds that we recently purchased. I was looking for a way to be able to partially block or fully block one side or the other and this does the trick. We ordered it in white and that helps the kitchen to remain bright and airy as well. The quality for the price was right on the mark.

"I stayed at El Jacalito with four friends for the most relaxing, enjoyable two week vacation of my well traveled life. This home is so spacious and comfortable with so many areas to congregate, dine, rest and chat that one feels to have an entire private resort at one's disposal. I loved the kitchen for staging buffet meals, appetizer spreads and quick meals on an impulse. Everything you need is there including candles for atmosphere and many seating options for couples or groups to enjoy. Without the distraction of TV and the internet, I found that we all talked to each other a lot and solved most of the world's problems, created all sorts of DIY craft projects and told adventure stories to each other that were nearly forgotten with our usual busy lives. We relaxed in the pool, the warm ocean and had rounds and rounds of splendid massage from the very kind caretaker who has magical hands. I would recommend a candlelight massage on the top of the the cabana with breezes blowing. Bring your favorite cream or lotion for an unforgettable experience. This is a very family friendly house with plenty of space for everyone. The caretakers are very competent and respectful of your peace and quiet but they are certainly available for any assistance or suggestions that you might need. I will return to this wonderful piece of paradise by the ocean, it would be hard to resist go again, I am making plans already."Guest: SBASusan Date of Stay: March 2015 Review Submitted: March 31, 2015View listing
"this is the fourth year we have gone to Casa Tia Tita, and as others have said, it just keeps getting better. My friends and I committed to doing 20 years in a row here, why go anywhere else. Mario and Morena and their beautiful kids are the best!"Guest: matt Date of Stay: April 2015 Review Submitted: May 10, 2015View listing
"Que suerte el encontrar este lugar disponible, nos hospedamos 14 personas con la mejor comodidad. La casa es lo suficientemente que permite crear diferentes ambientes de manera simultanea. Marina es super amigable y estuvo pendiente de lo que necesitaramos , nos preparo la cena para que pudieramos disfrutar. Amplio parqueo, perfecta ubicacion, vista increible, un lugar totalmente recomendado en el que totalmente tengo pensado regresar. No hay duda que la mejor decision es Vistalago. La casa esta completamente equipada con todo lo necesario y mas! Recomendadisimo."Guest: Alex U. Date of Stay: June 2015 Review Submitted: June 23, 2015View listing
"I was there for 1 night (suppose to be more but travel plans changed) and I wish we stayed longer! I was there with 3 of my family members, all 4 of us for comfortably in one bungalow, the bungalows were clean, even the bathroom. The most amazing part is the view from the room, you are literally on the Pacific Ocean shore, clean beach, perfect for a group of about 12 people (4 bungalows on the property) to have an intimate beach getaway. I felt like we had a little island all to ourselves. It's also perfect for a Romantic getaway... It's more soothing & quite compared to noisy El Tunco. Fresh air right when you step out of your room. The place is gated and I felt safe, especially with the help of Roberto & Gris (caretakers). They gave us everything we needed and guided us as needed. They always cared about our safety, waiting with us when we were waiting to get picked up early in the morning (still very dark). Vilma, answered every email as soon as possible and answered all questions, made sure everything is taken care of. Highly recommend this place!!!"Guest: joelle m.
