RP4 Fertility Variants inAcinetobacter calcoaceticus
Genetical Research, 1976 SUMMARYThe resistance plasmid RP4 can be used to mediate conjugation inAcinetobacter calcoaceticus. Transfer of chromosomal genes occurs only on solid surfaces and not in liquid matings. Two RP4-carrying donor strains which donate the chromosome in different directions from different origins have been isolated. As a result it is possible to demonstrate

Transposon mutagenesis in Acinetobacter calcoaceticus RAG-1 [PDF]
Journal of Bacteriology, 1993 Molecular genetic studies of Acinetobacter spp. have been greatly limited by the lack of a method for transposon mutagenesis. In this study, a genetically engineered derivative of Tn10, mini-Tn10PttKm, was conjugally transferred in plate matings from Escherichia coli SM10[(lambda pir)(pLOFPttKm)] to Acinetobacter calcoaceticus RAG-1.

Microbial and insect oils: A sustainable approach to functional lipid
Journal of the American Oil Chemists' Society, Volume 102, Issue 1, Page 5-33, January 2025.Abstract The increasing global population, coupled with the effects of climate change on agricultural activities has spurred a demand for sustainable food production to meet human needs. In response to this, there has been a growing interest in sustainable food production initiatives. One of such initiatives is harnessing microbial and insect lipids as

Toll‐like receptors in mammalian sperm
Reproductive Medicine and Biology, Volume 24, Issue 1, January/December 2025.Abstract Background Toll‐like receptors (TLRs) are critical components of the innate immune system and are expressed in various cells, including the reproductive system. Although their roles in female reproductive tissues such as the ovaries and uterus, including their involvement in fertilization and implantation, have been extensively reviewed, their

Medically relevant Acinetobacter species require a type II secretion system and specific membrane-associated chaperones for the export of multiple substrates and full virulence [PDF]
, 2016 Acinetobacter baumannii, A. nosocomialis, and A. pittii have recently emerged as opportunistic human pathogens capable of causing severe human disease; however, the molecular mechanisms employed by Acinetobacter to cause disease remain poorly understood.

A Phage‐Based Approach to Identify Antivirulence Inhibitors of Bacterial Type IV Pili
Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 18, Issue 1, January 2025.The bacterial type IV pilus (T4P) plays a crucial role in enabling various bacterial pathogens to cause infectious diseases. Phages that require T4P as a receptor are utilised to identify inhibitors of the T4P machinery, paving the way for the development of anti‐T4P chemotherapeutics. ABSTRACT The increasing threat of antibiotic resistance underscores
