The conserved PA14 domain of cell wall-associated fungal adhesins governs their glycan-binding specificity

, 2008
Yeast cell wall-associated, lectin-like adhesins form large families that mediate flocculation and host cell recognition. The glycan specificity of individual adhesins is largely unknown. Zupancic et al. (this issue of Molecular Microbiology) used glycan

Structural and functional insights from the sequences and complex domain architecture of adhesin-like proteins from Methanobrevibacter smithii and Methanosphaera stadtmanae

Frontiers in Microbiology
Methanogenic archaea, or methanogens, are crucial in guts and rumens, consuming hydrogen, carbon dioxide, and other fermentation products. While their molecular interactions with other microorganisms are not fully understood, genomic sequences provide ...

Artificial Catch Bonds: From Molecular Design to Network Mechanics

ChemSystemsChem, Volume 8, Issue 5, September 2026.
Catch bonds strengthen rather than weaken under force. This review follows the discovery and development of our understanding of this counterintuitive phenomenon, from the molecular mechanisms that produce it to the design rules for engineering it in DNA, proteins, and polymers, and on to the collective network mechanics enabling materials that stiffen

Identification of Potential Vaccine Strains of Escherichia coli Isolates From Diarrhoeic Calves

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 5, September 2026.
This study aimed to identify vaccine candidate Escherichia coli strains isolated from diarrheic calves. Faecal samples collected from 500 calves were analysed, and E. coli strains were isolated and characterized phenotypically and genotypically. Antibiotic resistance profiles, virulence‐associated genes and MLVA genotyping were used to select 20 ...

Absence of biofilm adhesin proteins changes surface attachment and cell strategy for Desulfovibrio vulgaris Hildenborough

Journal of Bacteriology
Ubiquitous in nature, biofilms provide stability in a fluctuating environment and provide protection from stressors. Biofilms formed in industrial processes are exceedingly problematic and costly.

Characterization of Phylogroups, Virulence Factors and Antimicrobial Resistance in Canine Pyometra‐associated Escherichia coli

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 5, September 2026.
This study characterized 56 Escherichia coli isolates obtained from canine pyometra, which predominantly belonged to phylogroup B2 and harboured multiple virulence genes, with high multidrug resistance rates indicating potential clinical and zoonotic risks. ABSTRACT The presence of multidrug‐resistant extraintestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli (ExPEC)

Calcium chloride induces dose-dependent architectural, mechanical, and transcriptional remodeling in Pseudomonas putida biofilms: an exploratory multi-scale study

Frontiers in Microbiology
Calcium ions (Ca2+) are known to enhance biofilm structural integrity in many bacteria, including Pseudomonas aeruginosa, by cross-linking exopolysaccharides. Still, their role in the soil bacterium P. putida remains largely unexplored.

Characterisation of Haemolytic Uropathogenic Escherichia coli Isolated From Dogs and Cats

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 5, September 2026.
The present study characterises 51 canine and feline haemolytic E. coli isolates from urinary tract infections by a polyphasic approach, including susceptibility testing, CH‐clonotyping, and DNA microarrays. The majority of isolates belonged to phylogenetic group B2 and were classified as extraintestinal pathogenic E.
