<span class="mw-page-title-main">ML-SI3</span> Chemical compound

ML-SI3 is a chemical compound which acts as an "antagonist" of the TRPML family of calcium channels, with greatest activity at the TRPML1 channel, although it also blocks the related TRPML2 and TRPML3 channels with lower affinity. It is used for research into the role of TRPML1 and its various functions in lysosomes and elsewhere in the body.

Ensifer numidicus is a nitrogen fixing symbiont of Fabaceae. gram-negative, aerobic, non-spore forming, rod-shaped bacterium of the family Rhizobiaceae. First described in 2010; more biovars have since been isolated and described with ORS 1407 considered the representative organism. Most examples have been found in arid and infra-arid regions of Tunisia.
