Negative heterosis for meiotic recombination rate in spermatocytes of the domestic chicken Gallus gallus by L. P. Malinovskaya, K. V. Tishakova, T. I. Bikchurina, A. Yu. Slobodchikova, N. Yu. Torgunakov, A. A. Torgasheva, Y. A. Tsepilov, N. A. Volkova, P. M. Borodin

“…The decrease in recombination rate in F1 is probably determined by difficulties in homology matching between the DNA sequences of genetically divergent breeds. The suppression of recombination in the hybrids may impede gene flow between parapatric populations and therefore accelerate their genetic divergence.…”

Nisin Z Production by Wild Strains of Lactococcus lactis Isolated from Brazilian (Italian Type) Fermented Sausage by Margarete Alice Fontes Saraiva, Dagim Jirata Birri, Dag Anders Brede, Maria Cristina Baracat-Pereira, Marisa Vieira de Queiroz, Ingolf F Nes, Célia Alencar de Moraes

“…The five isolates produced different amounts of the bacteriocin, L. lactis ID1.5 and ID8.5 isolates being the best nisin Z producers. DNA sequence analysis did not reveal any sequence differences in the nisZ and nisF promoter regions that could explain the differences in nisin Z production, suggesting that there should be other factors responsible for differential nisin Z production by the isolates.…”
