In situ electrochemical investigation of the interaction between bacteria Xylella fastidiosa DNA and copper(II) using DNA-electrochemical biosensors

open access: yesElectrochemistry Communications, 2021
New emerging bacterial plant diseases are spreading fast in different geographical regions, and effective safety measures have not been found. Xylella fastidiosa (Xf) is a Gram-negative bacterial plant pathogen classified as a priority quarantine pest ...

Protein pyrophosphorylation by inositol pyrophosphates — detection, function, and regulation

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Protein pyrophosphorylation is an unusual signaling mechanism that was discovered two decades ago. It can be driven by inositol pyrophosphate messengers and influences various cellular processes. Herein, we summarize the research progress and challenges of this field, covering pathways found to be regulated by this posttranslational modification as ...

Wolbachia and DNA barcoding insects: patterns, potential and problems

open access: yes, 2012
Wolbachia is a genus of bacterial endosymbionts that impacts the breeding systems of their hosts. Wolbachia can confuse the patterns of mitochondrial variation, including DNA barcodes, because it influences the pathways through which mitochondria are ...

The (Glg)ABCs of cyanobacteria: modelling of glycogen synthesis and functional divergence of glycogen synthases in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We reconstituted Synechocystis glycogen synthesis in vitro from purified enzymes and showed that two GlgA isoenzymes produce glycogen with different architectures: GlgA1 yields denser, highly branched glycogen, whereas GlgA2 synthesizes longer, less‐branched chains.

Small variable segments constitute a major type of diversity of bacterial genomes at the species level

open access: yes, 2010
Analysis of large scale diversity in bacterial genomes has mainly focused on elements such as pathogenicity islands, or more generally, genomic islands. These comprise numerous genes and confer important phenotypes, which are present or absent depending ...

Multiple pathways of plasmid DNA transfer in Helicobacter pylori [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Many Helicobacter pylori (Hp) strains carry cryptic plasmids of different size and gene content, the function of which is not well understood. A subgroup of these plasmids (e.g.

Is there a placental microbiota? A critical review and re-analysis of published placental microbiota datasets

open access: yesBMC Microbiology, 2023
The existence of a placental microbiota is debated. The human placenta has historically been considered sterile and microbial colonization was associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes.
