The V‐Shaped Structuring Regulated via the LuxS‐Dependent Quorum‐Sensing Pathway Is Associated With Lactiplantibacillus plantarum Survivability in Acidic Environments

Food Frontiers, Volume 6, Issue 2, Page 801-818, March 2025.
This study elucidates how the V‐shaped multicellular structuring facilitates the 3D‐biofilm formation through the LuxS‐dependent quorum‐sensing pathway, which provides an extraordinary protection mode for cellular survivability in highly acidic conditions.

Identification of Streptococcus pneumoniae by a real-time PCR assay targeting SP2020. [PDF]

, 2019
Real-time PCR targeting lytA (the major autolysin gene) and piaB (permease gene of the pia ABC transporter) are currently used as the gold-standard culture-independent assays for Streptococcus pneumoniae identification.

ACTION OF "AUTOLYSIN" ON MOUSE TUMORS [PDF]

Journal of the American Medical Association, 1916
The use of "autolysin" in the treatment of cancer has been so widely heralded, in both the lay and the professional press, 1 that it was deemed proper to conduct the following experiments in order to determine whether the preparation has any action on tumors in mice, the malignancy and clinical course of which are quite comparable to those of human ...

Phage‐derived proteins: Advancing food safety through biocontrol and detection of foodborne pathogens

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 24, Issue 2, March 2025.
Abstract The emergence of antimicrobial‐resistant foodborne pathogens poses a continuous health risk and economic burden as they can easily spread through contaminated food. Therefore, the demand for new antimicrobial agents to address this problem is steadily increasing.

Carboxy-terminal deletion analysis of the major pneumococcal autolysin [PDF]

Journal of Bacteriology, 1994
Autolysins are endogenous enzymes that specifically degrade the covalent bonds of the cell walls and eventually can induce bacterial lysis. One of the best-characterized autolysins, the major pneumococcal LytA amidase, has evolved by the fusion of two domains, the N-terminal catalytic domain and the C-terminal domain responsible for the binding to cell

Metamorphosis of a unicellular green alga in the presence of acetate and a spatially structured three‐dimensional environment

New Phytologist, Volume 245, Issue 3, Page 1180-1196, February 2025.
Summary Photosynthetic protists, named microalgae, are key players in global primary production. The green microalga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii is a well‐studied model organism. In nature, it dwells in acetate‐rich paddy rice soil, which is not mimicked by standard liquid laboratory conditions.

ÜBER EINE AUTOLYSIN BEIM PFERDE

Journal of The Japanese Society of Veterinary Science, 1924
1. Eine Autolysin, die bei einem Fall (latent Form) von infektiosen Blutarmut gepruften ist (1918), steht in keiner Bedeutung zur Pathologic der Anamie.2. Der hamolytische Titer der Autolysin fur eigene Blutkorperchen betrug 1:1600 und sie bedurft eines Komplements.3.

Ofloxacin-like antibiotics inhibit pneumococcal cell wall-degrading virulence factors [PDF]

, 2005
The search for new drugs against Streptococcus pneumoniae (pneumococcus) is driven by the 1.5 million deaths it causes annually. Choline-binding proteins attach to the pneumococcal cell wall through domains that recognize choline moieties, and their ...

Combining Plant Bioactives With Antibiotics for Enhanced Antibiofilm Activity Against Uropathogenic Staphylococcus spp. and Cytotoxicity Evaluation

Advances in Pharmacological and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are one of the most important causes of morbidity and healthcare spending. Combination therapy is the treatment of choice for biofilm‐associated infections due to the simultaneous action of two drugs on two separate cellular targets and their safety.

Mechanism of anchoring proteins on the cell envelope [PDF]

, 2011
Surface proteins, essential structural components of bacterial cell wall, are synthesized as precursors equipped with specific functional domains. The N-terminal signal module enables translocation across the plasma membrane via Sec or Tat pathways ...
