Since 1943 the Bibliography of Systematic Mycology (BSM) has provided a survey of the literature encompassing the biodiversity, classification, distribution, evolution, identification, nomenclature, phylogeny, systematics and taxonomy of fungi (including those groups traditionally treated as fungi but now better classified in other kingdoms). The printed BSM provides full bibliographic details of relevant literature from books, conference proceedings, monographs and serials arranged under broad taxonomic categories, with author and generic indexes, and is published twice a year, cumulating into a volume over five years. Some 1500-2000 items per annum give comprehensive cover of both the pure and applied systematic mycological literature, from the level of kingdom right down to population. Book reviews and notices are also included. A back-file of these records covering the period from 1986 is now searchable on-line using genus or author names. The editor (Ken Hudson) would be grateful to receive notice of any significant omissions and also welcomes copies of publications for future inclusion. Full publication details for articles appearing in the last five years are not available on-line. All publications will include a reference to the entry in the printed version of the BSM. ...

JSTOR Plant Science is an online environment that brings together content, tools, and people interested in plant science. It provides access to foundational content vital to plant science – plant type specimens, taxonomic structures, scientific literature, and related materials, making them widely accessible to the plant science community as well as to researchers in other fields and to the public. It also provides an easy to use interface with powerful functionality that supports research and teaching, including the ability to measure and record plant specimens, share observations and objects with colleagues and classmates, and investigate global plant biodiversity. JSTOR Plant Science strives to be a comprehensive online research tool for aggregating and exploring the world’s botanical resources, thereby dramatically improving access for students, scholars, and scientists around the globe. It is useful for those researching, teaching or studying botany, biology, ecology, environmental and conservation studies. ... [Information of the supplier]
This site lists all substances and their properties which are reported on in the indexed Landolt-Börnstein volumes. In total, 160 000 organic and inorganic compounds are described by names, molecular structures, chemical abstract numbers and other identifiers. Properties are directly linked to the full documents at Springerlink. Landolt-Börnstein citations are given as "Vol. LB-Group/Volume Chapter: number [, page]: document title" and have a hyperlink to the full-text of the document containing the substance. The short identifier of the LB volume leads to a complete denotation of the reference with a direct link to the respective volume. For several compounds crosslinks to some derivatives are provided, e.g. isotope-marked compounds, hydrates and hydrochlorides. For benzenamine (aniline) for example there is a direct link to the related compounds benzenamine-d7 and aniline hydrochloride/hydrobromide/hydroiodide. Additionally, EINECS numbers (European Inventory of Existing Commercial Chemical Substances) are provided if available. Compounds are linked to NIMS (National Institute for Materials Science) data where disposable. ... [Information of the supplier]
The MicrobeLibrary initiative is grounded in its overall goal to promote excellence in undergraduate education by: Publishing peer-reviewed teaching resources about the microbial world for undergraduate education; Advancing the ASM Curriculum Recommendations for undergraduate education; and, Promoting the scholarship of teaching and learning in microbiology education. The MicrobeLibrary is an online collection of peer-reviewed resources for teaching microbiology supported by the American Society for Microbiology. It is focused at the undergraduate level. Its contents include visual images and animations; curriculum activities for both classroom and laboratory; articles from Focus on Microbiology Education, Microbiology Education journal, as well as feature articles from microbe (formerly ASM News); and reviews of educational resources such as websites, software, videos, and books. ...

Protein phosphorylation is a post-translational modification that regulates an astonishing number of critical biological processes in multicellular organisms. Cellular protein phosphorylation is an enormously complex dynamic system: over 510 distinct protein kinases and 100 phosphoprotein phosphatases are encoded in the human genome, and upwards of 40% of cellular proteins may be phosphorylated during some stage of growth and differentiation. Many proteins are multiply phosphorylated on scores of sites, making it likely that there are minimally 100,000 distinct phosphorylation sites in the mammalian proteome. It is the intention of the scientists who are designing and implementing PhosphoSite to provide an accurate and comprehensive source of information about mammalian protein phosphorylation sites. Our goal is to identify and organize information about all in vivo phosphorylation sites in human and mouse proteomes and to provide information and resources that will facilitate phosphorylation research. PhosphoSite is a curated, sequence-oriented protein database dedicated to in vivo phosphorylation sites. Information in PhosphoSite version 1.0 includes: (a) The phosphorylated residue and its surrounding sequence. We consider this information to be the central, organizing feature of PhosphoSite. (b) Orthologous sites in other species; this should assist investigators in determining if a phosphorylation site in species A might also be phosphorylated in species B. (c) The location within domains and motifs; this should assist investigators in inferring possible biological functions of phosphorylation sites. (d) Links to other online resources including the Alliance for Cell Signaling, the Protein Kinase Resource, and Scansite. Scansite predicts likely sites for protein phosphorylation by particular kinases and likely sites for interaction with other signaling proteins. This information, based upon vitro data, will be highly complimentary to that provided by PhosphoSite. (e) Literature references which demonstrate the in vivo nature and significance of the phosphorylation site. (...) Curated information will come from literature reports as well as from high-throughput phosphosite discovery programs. Information extracted from the public domain will be freely available for educational users. Proprietary information from phosphorylation site discovery programs may be available on a subscription basis. Corporations will need to pay a reasonable yearly fee to legally access PhosphoSite. ...

A database is a model of a piece of the world. RegulonDB in this sense is a model of the complex regulation of transcription initiation or regulatory network of the cell, on the one hand. On the other hand, it is also a model of the organization of the genes in transcription units, operons and simple and complex regulons. In this sense, RegulonDB is a computational model of mechanisms of transcriptional regulation. ... [Information of the supplier]
