Gram-Positive Bacteria Cell Wall Peptidoglycan Polymers Activate Human Dendritic Cells to Produce IL-23 and IL-1β and Promote TH17 Cell Differentiation

open access: yesMicroorganisms, 2023
Gram-positive bacterial infections are a major cause of organ failure and mortality in sepsis. Cell wall peptidoglycan (PGN) is shed during bacterial replication, and Bacillus anthracis PGN promotes a sepsis-like pathology in baboons.

Pectin-derived oligogalacturonides shape mutualistic interactions between Bacillus and its host plant [PDF]

open access: goldThe ISME Journal
Abstract Certain beneficial bacteria of the root-associated microbiome such as Bacillus velezensis protect plants against diseases and are promising biocontrol agents exploited in sustainable agriculture. Unveiling the molecular dialogue governing mutualistic interactions between these beneficials and their host is essential to better

Cell morphology maintenance in Bacillus subtilis through balanced peptidoglycan synthesis and hydrolysis

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2020
The peptidoglycan layer is responsible for maintaining bacterial cell shape and permitting cell division. Cell wall growth is facilitated by peptidoglycan synthases and hydrolases and is potentially modulated by components of the central carbon ...

Microbial and metabolic succession on common building materials under high humidity conditions. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Despite considerable efforts to characterize the microbial ecology of the built environment, the metabolic mechanisms underpinning microbial colonization and successional dynamics remain unclear, particularly at high moisture conditions. Here, we applied

A review on the shape changes in pathogenic bacteria with emphasis on Mycobacterium tuberculosis

open access: yesBiomedical and Biotechnology Research Journal, 2018
Bacteria show a plenty of cellular shapes and can alter their forms. The bacterial cell shape is functionally important. Bacteria have a number of options to select their shapes in order to uptake more nutrient, motility, attachment to surface ...

From a thin film model for passive suspensions towards the description of osmotic biofilm spreading

open access: yes, 2016
Biofilms are ubiquitous macro-colonies of bacteria that develop at various interfaces (solid-liquid, solid-gas or liquid-gas). The formation of biofilms starts with the attachment of individual bacteria to an interface, where they proliferate and produce

Crystallization of YIoQ, a GTPase of unknown function essential for Bacillus subtilis viability [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
YLoQ is a putative ATP/GTP-binding protein of unknown function identified from the complete sequence of the Bacillus subtilis genome. A gene-knockout programme established that yloQ is one of a set of some 270 indispensable genes for the viability of ...
