RESUMO
Background: The genus Heteropoda Latreille, 1804, is ranked as the second within the family Sparassidae Bertkau, 1872. Up to now, sixteen species of this genus have been described from Malaysia. New information: A new species of this genus in the highlands of Pahang State, Malaysia is described under the name of H.lebar sp. nov.. Individuals of the new species live in primary forests on forest floor, active in the night on the leaf litter.
RESUMO
With 252 species, Pseudopoda Jäger, 2000, is the largest genus in the family Sparassidae and is widely distributed in South (49 species in Bhutan, India, Nepal and Pakistan), East (158 species in China and Japan) and Southeast Asia (51 species in Indonesia, Laos, Myanmar, Thailand and Vietnam). Few species have been found in more than one region. In this paper, three new species of Pseudopoda are described from East and Southeast Asia. Among them, one from China: P.fengtongzhaiensis Jäger & Liu, sp. nov. (â); one from Laos: P.baimai Jäger & Liu, sp. nov. (â); and one from Thailand: P.inthanonensis Jäger & Liu, sp. nov. (â). Additionally, the female of P.kavanaughi Zhang, Jäger & Liu, 2023 is described for the first time. Photos of the habitus and genitalia, as well as a distribution map of all four species, are provided.
RESUMO
Phage display is an important technology to study protein-protein interaction and protein evolution, with applications in basic science and applied biotechnology, such as drug discovery and the development of targeted therapies. However, in order to be successful during a phage display screening, it is paramount to have good phage libraries. Here, we described detailed procedures to generate peptide phage display libraries with high diversity and billions of transformants.
