Optimal group testing designs for estimating prevalence with uncertain testing errors [PDF]
, 2017 We construct optimal designs for group testing experiments where the goal is to estimate the prevalence of a trait by using a test with uncertain sensitivity and specificity. Using optimal design theory for approximate designs, we show that the most efficient design for simultaneously estimating the prevalence, sensitivity and specificity requires ...

Magnetizing Biotech–Advances in (In Vivo) Magnetic Enzyme Immobilization
Engineering in Life Sciences, Volume 25, Issue 3, March 2025.ABSTRACT Industrial biocatalysis, a multibillion dollar industry, relies on the selectivity and efficacy of enzymes for efficient chemical transformations. However, enzymes, evolutionary adapted to mild biological conditions, often struggle in industrial processes that require harsh reaction conditions, resulting in reduced stability and activity ...

Primary endosymbiosis: have cyanobacteria and Chlamydiae ever been roommates?
Acta Societatis Botanicorum Poloniae, 2014 Eukaryotes acquired the ability to process photosynthesis by engulfing a cyanobacterium and transforming it into a genuine organelle called the plastid. This event, named primary endosymbiosis, occurred once more than a billion years ago, and allowed the

The Type III Secretion Effector CteG Mediates Host Cell Lytic Exit of Chlamydia trachomatis
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2022 Chlamydia trachomatis is an obligate intracellular bacterium causing ocular and urogenital infections in humans that are a significant burden worldwide. The completion of its characteristic infectious cycle relies on the manipulation of several host cell

Making connections: snapshots of chlamydial type III secretion systems in contact with host membranes [PDF]
, 2014 Chlamydiae are obligate intracellular bacterial pathogens with an unusual biphasic lifecycle, which is underpinned by two bacterial forms of distinct structure and function.

Global Change Biology, Volume 31, Issue 3, March 2025.Rainfall after drought induces enormous dynamics in microbial growth (potential soil carbon storage) and respiration (determining carbon loss), affecting the ecosystem carbon budget. We investigated how legacies of drought and warming affected microbial functional and structural responses after drought, using soils from tropical cropland and forest ...

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016 Bacteria from the Planctomycetes, Verrucomicrobia and Chlamydiae (PVC) superphylum are exceptions to the otherwise dominant mode of division by binary fission, which is based on the interaction between the FtsZ protein and the peptidoglycan (PG ...

Identification and characterization of a novel porin family highlights a major difference in the outer membrane of chlamydial symbionts and pathogens. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 The Chlamydiae constitute an evolutionary well separated group of intracellular bacteria comprising important pathogens of humans as well as symbionts of protozoa.

JDDG: Journal der Deutschen Dermatologischen Gesellschaft, Volume 23, Issue 2, Page 254-276, February 2025.Zusammenfassung Die Urethritis ist ein häufiges, überwiegend durch sexuell übertragene Erreger wie Chlamydia trachomatis, Neisseria gonorrhoeae oder Mycoplasma genitalium verursachtes Krankheitsbild. Alleine aufgrund klinischer Merkmale ist die Unterscheidung der Erreger und der Ausschluss von Koinfektionen nicht sicher möglich.

Regulatory (pan-)genome of an obligate intracellular pathogen in the PVC superphylum. [PDF]
, 2016 Like other obligate intracellular bacteria, the Chlamydiae feature a compact regulatory genome that remains uncharted owing to poor genetic tractability.
