How endo- is endo-?: surface sterilization of delicate samples: a Bryopsis (Bryopsidales, Chlorophyta) case study [PDF]
, 2010 In the search for endosymbiotic bacteria, elimination of ectosymbionts is a key point of attention. Commonly, the surface of the host itself or the symbiotic structures are sterilized with aggressive substances such as chlorine or mercury derivatives ...

STRUCTURE AND IMMUNE ADJUVANT PROPERTIES OF CPG-D
Медицинская иммунология, 2014 Bacterial DNA, along with other bacterial pathogen-associated molecular structures, may activate both innate and adaptive immune systems. This activity is associated with by nonmethylated CpG dinucleotides, which are present in the bDNA molecule, and it ...

Choice of DNA extraction method affects detection of bacterial taxa from retail chicken breast
BMC Microbiology, 2022 Background Sequence-based methods for the detection of bacteria such as 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing and metagenomics can provide a comprehensive view of the bacterial microbiome of food.

High Sensitivity of Shotgun Metagenomic Sequencing in Colon Tissue Biopsy by Host DNA Depletion
Genomics, Proteomics & Bioinformatics, 2023 The high host genetic background of tissue biopsies hinders the application of shotgun metagenomic sequencing in characterizing the tissue microbiota. We proposed an optimized method that removed host DNA from colon biopsies and examined the effect on ...

The antimicrobial polymer PHMB enters cells and selectively condenses bacterial chromosomes [PDF]
, 2016 To combat infection and antimicrobial resistance, it is helpful to elucidate drug mechanism(s) of action. Here we examined how the widely used antimicrobial polyhexamethylene biguanide (PHMB) kills bacteria selectively over host cells.

Bacteria in the airways of patients with cystic fibrosis are genetically capable of producing VOCs in breath. [PDF]
, 2016 Breath contains hundreds of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), the composition of which is altered in a wide variety of diseases. Bacteria are implicated in the formation of VOCs, but the biochemical mechanisms that lead to the formation of breath VOCs ...

Bacteria-human somatic cell lateral gene transfer is enriched in cancer samples. [PDF]
PLoS Computational Biology, 2013 There are 10× more bacterial cells in our bodies from the microbiome than human cells. Viral DNA is known to integrate in the human genome, but the integration of bacterial DNA has not been described. Using publicly available sequence data from the human
