Transfer of the small diatoms Thalassiosira proschkinae and T. spinulata to the genus Minidiscus and their taxonomic re-description. by Joon Sang Park, Seung Won Jung, Jang-Seu Ki, Ruoyu Guo, Hyun Jung Kim, Kyun-Woo Lee, Jin Hwan Lee

“…The marine diatoms Thalassiosira proschkinae and T. spinulata are relatively small in size; their taxonomic identities have been debated owing to the diverse morphological variations. In the present study, we isolated both morphotypes from Korean coastal waters and examined their fine structures and conducted molecular sequence comparisons. …”

Cryo-EM of prion strains from the same genotype of host identifies conformational determinants. by Forrest Hoyt, Parvez Alam, Efrosini Artikis, Cindi L Schwartz, Andrew G Hughson, Brent Race, Chase Baune, Gregory J Raymond, Gerald S Baron, Allison Kraus, Byron Caughey

“…Each monomer shares an N-terminal steric zipper, three major arches, and an overall V-shape, but the details of these and other conformational features differ markedly. Thus, variations in shared conformational motifs within a parallel in-register β-stack fibril architecture provide a structural basis for prion strain differentiation within a single host genotype.…”
