Faunal composition within algal mats and adjacent habitats in Likuri, Fiji Islands
(Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom/Cambridge University Press, 2009)The faunal composition within three mono-specific algal habitats was investigated at Likuri Island, southern Viti Levu, Fiji Islands. Gracilaria maramae was the dominant alga within algal drift mat, seagrass bed, and rocky ... -
Flow cytometric evaluation of red blood cells transformed with variable amounts of synthetic A and B glycolipids
(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2008)Background: According to national guidelines or directives, monoclonal ABO reagents may be required to detect Ax and B weak subgroup red blood cells (RBCs). Many routine laboratories do not have access to naturallyoccurring ABO ... -
Flow microenvironment of two marine peritrich ciliates with ectobiotic chemoautotrophic bacteria
(Inter-Research, 2002)The flow microenvironment of 2 marine peritrich ciliates, Vorticella sp. and Zoothamnium niveum, with ectobiotic sulfur bacteria was studied with frame-by-frame analyses of video sequences and a microsensor for fluid ... -
Fluorophore-kodecytes - fluorescent function-spacer-lipid (FSL) modified cells for in vitro and in vivo analyses
(John Wiley & Sons Ltd, 2010)Most live cells are naturally poorly visible and so various secondary techniques, such as staining (including fluorescent tagging), are used to visualize them. However, a major limitation of most staining techniques is ... -
FSL constructs: a simple method for modifying cell/virion surfaces with a range of biological markers without affecting their viability
(Journal of Visualized Experiment, 2011)The ability to modify/visualize biological surfaces, and then study the modified cell/virion in a range of in vitro and in vivo environments is essential to gaining further insight into the function of specific molecules ... -
FSL-A+B(tri) Serologic teaching kit
(AUT University, 2011)Many teaching/training laboratories do not have access to a source of specimens that will give a full range of serologic reaction grades, or those representative of ABO weak subgroups. As a consequence many laboratory staff ... -
FSL-RFG(Maleimide) FSL construction kit
(AUT University, 2011)The FSL-RFG(Maleimide) FSL Construction Kit is for use in creating Function-Spacer-Lipid (FSL) constructs for use in non-covalent cell-surface modification/engineering of cellular membranes, viral particles, liposomes, or ... -
Fucoidan Extracted From New Zealand Undaria Pinnatifida – Physicochemical Comparison Against Five Other Fucoidans: Unique Low Molecular Weight Fraction Bioactivity in Breast Cancer Cell Lines
(MDPI AG, 2018)Fucoidan, the complex fucose-containing sulphated polysaccharide varies considerably in structure, composition, and bioactivity, depending on the source, species, seasonality, and extraction method. In this study, we ... -
Function-Spacer-Lipid (FSL) constructs enable inkjet printing of blood group antigens
(John Wiley & Sons Ltd, 2010)A limitation of inkjet printing antigens to solid surfaces is that the molecule to be printed must be dispersible in solution, retain antigenicity, and remain on the printed surface when exposed to biological solutions. ... -
The GDNF family: A role in cancer?
(Ediciones Doyma S.A., 2018)The glial cell line–derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) family of ligands (GFLs) comprising of GDNF, neurturin, artemin, and persephin plays an important role in the development and maintenance of the central and peripheral ... -
Global Diversity of Desert Hypolithic Cyanobacteria
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2017)Global patterns in diversity were estimated for cyanobacteria-dominated hypolithic communities that colonize ventral surfaces of quartz stones and are common in desert environments. A total of 64 hypolithic communities ... -
How Is Satiety Affected When Consuming Food While Working on a Computer?
(MDPI AG, 2019)More people working at offices are choosing to eat meals at their desks, making "desktop dining" an increasingly common phenomenon. Previous studies have reported that environmental distractors, such as television viewing, ... -
Hydraulic Coupling of a Leafless Kauri Tree Remnant to Conspecific Hosts
(Elsevier BV, 2019)SUMMARY Trees are commonly regarded as distinct entities, but the roots of many species fuse to form natural root grafts allowing the exchange of water, carbon, mineral nutrients, and microorganisms between individuals. ... -
Hydrolysis by Alcalase Improves Hypoallergenic Properties of Goat Milk Protein
(Korean Society for Food Science of Animal Resources, 2016)Goat milk is highly nutritious and is consumed in many countries, but the development of functional foods from goat milk has been slow compared to that for other types of milk. The aim of this study was to develop a goat ... -
Identification and Activation of TLR4-mediated Signalling Pathways by Alginate-derived Guluronate Oligosaccharide in RAW264.7 Macrophages
(Macmillan Publishers Limited, 2017)Alginate, a natural acidic polysaccharide extracted from marine brown seaweeds, is composed of different blocks of β-(1, 4)-D-mannuronate (M) and its C-5 epimer α-(1, 4)-L-guluronate (G). Alginate-derived guluronate ... -
Identification of Candidate Biomarkers for Quality Assessment of Hatchery-reared Mussel Larvae Via GC/MS-based Metabolomics
(Taylor and Francis Ltd, 2015)To ensure environmental and economic sustainability of future aquaculture growth, large-scale hatchery production of mollusc larvae is required. However, variation in larval quality currently limits potential maximum yields. ... -
In-Bag Dry- vs. Wet-Aged Lamb: Quality, Consumer Acceptability, Oxidative Stability and In Vitro Digestibility
(2020)The aim of this study was to produce in-bag dry-aged lamb and compare its meat quality, consumer acceptability, oxidative stability and in vitro digestibility to the wet-aged equivalents. Significantly higher pH, weight ... -
Incidence in Plasma of Low Level Antibodies Against Three Xenotransplantation and Immunotherapeutic Glycan Antigens
(American Institute of Mathematical Sciences (AIMS), 2020)Antibodies against xeno-glycan antigens terminating with the saccharides Galα, GalNAcα and Rhaα are ubiquitous in human blood. Although originating as barriers to infection some of these naturally occurring complement-activating ... -
