Project description:This paper reports on human burials and dietary reconstructions using a combination of mortuary, isotopic data and new 14C dates, recorded on mortuary contexts excavated at Aniwa, Futuna, and Tanna islands in 1964 during Shutlers pioneering archaeological work and more recently in the course of our South Vanuatu Archaeological Survey (SVAS) project. The earliest burials date to the first millennium AD, with subsequent changes and continuities of practice into the 19th century. Isotopic results suggest an influence of geographic and environmental characteristics of each islands on their diet. Diachronic comparisons suggest a decrease in diet breadth over time without significant change in food trophic level. These variations are discussed in relation to the complex history of island settlement, adaptation, and interaction in the region and beyond. In this paper, we analyse carbon and nitrogen isotopic data measured in individuals from Aniwa, Tanna and Futuna in relation to ecological and cultural features of the islands, and discuss their variation in relation to the islands’ complex history of settlement, adaptation, and interaction within the South Vanuatu region and beyond.
Project description:Deep seas marine fungus SST2-VLC fractions. Isolated from soil sediment from South Shetland Trench, Antarctica (-58.90865, -61.122976, ~5100 m). Large scale fermentation on rice medium followed by subsequent methanol extraction. Finally, vacuum liquid chromatography was completed using an increasing gradient from hexane-dichloromethane-methanol.
Project description:The profiles of transcripts from the planktonic cells and biofilm cells of V. vulnificus were compared by using a V. vulnificus whole-genome microarray Two-condition experiment, planktonic cells vs. biofilm cells. Biological replicates: 3 control, 3 experimental, independently grown and harvested. One replicate per array. For transcriptome analysis, the V. vulnificus whole genome TwinChip, manufactured and kindly provided by the 21C Frontier Microbial Genomics and Applications Center (Daejeon, South Korea), was used.
