Some researches (Benjakul et al., 2003; Magdalena et al., 2007) have also found that degradation of fish muscle proteins during processing and storage are one of main causes of fish autolysis. For fish products, regardless of seafood or freshwater fish, the firmness of fish is associated with the types of protein and their function (Moral et al., 2002; Godiksen et al., 2009), and myofibrillar protein is a structural protein that supports muscle performance.
The major autolysin of Staphylococcus lugdunensis, AtlL, is involved in cell separation, stress-induced autolysis and contributes to bacterial pathogenesis.
Deletion of [sigma](54) (rpoN) alters the rate of autolysis and biofilm formation in Enterococcus faecalis.
For example, a pulmonary pathologist who performs autopsies only when there is a history of interstitial lung disease may lack the experience necessary to differentiate acute tubular necrosis from extensive autolysis or to appropriately contextualize the lung findings in the final report.
This peptide can cause other bacteria to undergo "autogenic autolysis" [28].
Autolysis of Streptococcus pneumoniae is another well-known cause of false-positive blood cultures [11].
Xylan is a barrier to the majority of the utilizable carbon in plant biomass [19], and failure by fungi to remove it could result in starvation and associated cell autolysis [20].
Mitochondria in the process of autolysis were found in some vacuoles (Figures 5(b) and 5(d)); it is possible to identify the mitochondria delimited by vacuolar membranes, similar to mitophagy (Figure 5(d)).
Evaluation of the organs showed predominantly marked autolysis consistent with retained stillbirth.
Full necropsy examinations done on 27 birds were hampered by freezing artifact and autolysis, but results indicated death was caused by the consequences of acute hypoglycemia.
With time, the available nutrition will become limited where the cells will then lose energy and the ability to grow, resulting in autolysis. Environmental factors can also affect growth, for example the increasing concentration of alcohol that can inhibit enzymes and cause cell death (Boulton and Quain, 2001).
Major factors leading to emergence of VISA and hVISA phenotypes are cell wall changes, which include reduced turnover of the cell wall, decreased autolysis, and in certain instances, triggered cell wall synthesis.
