Phenotypic Changes Exhibited by E. coli Cultured in Space

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2017
Bacteria will accompany humans in our exploration of space, making it of importance to study their adaptation to the microgravity environment. To investigate potential phenotypic changes for bacteria grown in space, Escherichia coli was cultured onboard ...

Determinants of the Bovine Leukemia Virus Envelope Glycoproteins Involved in Infectivity, Replication and Pathogenesis

Viruses, 2016
Interaction of viral envelope proteins with host cell membranes has been extensively investigated in a number of systems. However, the biological relevance of these interactions in vivo has been hampered by the absence of adequate animal models.

The BfmRS stress response protects Acinetobacter baumannii against defects in outer membrane lipoprotein biogenesis

Journal of Bacteriology
The outer membrane (OM) of Gram-negative bacteria is the outermost layer of the cell and serves as permeability barrier against environmental toxins, including antibiotics.

Peptidoglycan LD-Transpeptidases

Antibiotics
LD-Transpeptidases (LDTs) are a widely conserved class of peptidoglycan (PG) crosslinking enzymes in bacteria. They are sometimes overlooked as they often act secondary to penicillin binding proteins (PBPs) under standard conditions.
