Changes in Membrane Plasmalogens of <i>Clostridium pasteurianum</i> during Butanol Fermentation as Determined by Lipidomic Analysis by Jan Kolek (712011)

“…When butanol is produced by bacterial cells, then the cells are not subjected to severe stress and responded to it by relatively slowly changing the content of fatty acids and plasmalogens, while after a pulse addition of external butanol (to a final non-lethal concentration of 0.5 % v/v) the cells reacted relatively quickly (within a time span of tens of minutes) by increasing the total plasmalogen content.…”

Association analysis, given linkage, conditional on the top SNP. by Rohina Rubicz (104167)

“…The regression coefficients refer to the estimated change in the phenotype for each dose of the rarer SNP allele.</p>a<p>Since we used a liability threshold model for analysis of the dichotomous trait (see <a href="http://www.plosgenetics.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pgen.1003147#s4" target="_blank">methods</a> section), the direction of effect on EBNA-1 discrete serostatus is opposite of the sign of the regression coefficient, but is in the same direction as the regression coefficient for the quantitative trait (e.g. for SNP rs204999, the minor allele is associated with a decrease in EBNA-1 antibody level and seronegativity).…”
