The attenuated virulence of a
SummaryThe phenylacetic acid degradation pathway of Burkholderia cenocepacia is active during cystic fibrosis‐like conditions and is necessary for full pathogenicity of B. cenocepacia in nematode and rat infection models; however, the reasons for such requirements are unknown.

Aerobic Actinobacteria belonging to the genus Frigoribacterium were isolated from adelgid Adelges (Aphrastasia) pectinatae collected from a Korean fir tree. Genomic analysis showed that these bacteria encode a range of factors that may be involved in the interactions between Frigoribacterium strains, adelgids and/or Korean fir trees.

SummaryBurkholderia cenocepacia is an opportunistic human pathogen that encodes two LuxI‐type acylhomoserine lactone (AHL) synthases and three LuxR‐type AHL receptors. Of these, cepI and cepR form a cognate synthase/receptor pair, as do cciI and cciR, while cepR2 lacks a genetically linked AHL synthase gene.

We characterize the PLTL lectin from Photorhabdus laumondii, which adopts a unique TNF‐like fold. Binding assays reveal a preference for branched histo‐blood group oligosaccharides. Protein crystallography uncovers a novel hexameric assembly and identifies key residues involved in carbohydrate recognition.

Burkholderia cenocepacia infections are difficult to treat due to resistance, biofilm formation and persistence. B. cenocepacia strain J2315 has a large multi-replicon genome (8.06 Mb) and the function of a large fraction of (conserved) hypothetical ...

Simple and effective remediation strategies of Martian perchlorates
Abstract Martian surface minerals have abundant perchlorate salts existing in both solid and liquid phases that will impair agricultural operations, biological life‐support systems, and in situ resource utilization due to their toxicity. Thus, simple and effective perchlorate remediation strategies will be necessary for the successful use of Martian ...

Genetic similarity of Burkholderia cenocepacia from cystic fibrosis patients
Burkholderia cenocepacia may cause serious infections in patients with cystic fibrosis, and this microorganism can be highly transmissible. Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis is widely used to study the dynamics of strain spread in cystic fibrosis patients.

Extracellular glutathione decreases the ability of Burkholderia cenocepacia to penetrate into epithelial cells and to induce an inflammatory response. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: The airway surface liquid (ASL) of Cystic Fibrosis (CF) patients contains a lower concentration of reduced glutathione (GSH) with respect to healthy people.

ABSTRACT Background Dry skin is a prevalent dermatological concern influenced by environmental factors and characterized by compromised skin barrier integrity. In addition to this, skin microbiota is involved and plays a crucial role in maintaining microbial flora balance.

Abstract Fishing waste and byproducts, whether naturally occurring or from industrial processing, are important sources of high‐value compounds. Fertilizers, biomaterials, cosmetics, biolubricants, and biodiesel are some of the substances that can be obtained from these residues. The objective of this study was to conduct a theoretical and experimental
