Characterization of OxyR as a negative transcriptional regulator that represses catalase production in Corynebacterium diphtheriae. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Corynebacterium diphtheriae and Corynebacterium glutamicum each have one gene (cat) encoding catalase. In-frame Δcat mutants of C. diphtheriae and C. glutamicum were hyper-sensitive to growth inhibition and killing by H(2)O(2). In C.

Functional architecture and global properties of the Corynebacterium glutamicum regulatory network: novel insights from a dataset with a high genomic coverage [PDF]
Journal of Biotechnology 257:199-210 (2017), 2016 Corynebacterium glutamicum is a Gram-positive, anaerobic, rod-shaped soil bacterium able to grow on a diversity of carbon sources like sugars and organic acids. It is a biotechnological relevant organism because of its highly efficient ability to biosynthesize amino acids, such as L-glutamic acid and L-lysine. Here, we reconstructed the most complete C.

Quantitative modelling of nutrient-limited growth of bacterial colonies in microfluidic cultivation [PDF]
J. Royal Soc. Interface 15, 20170713 (2018), 2018 Nutrient gradients and limitations play a pivotal role in the life of all microbes, both in their natural habitat as well as in artificial, microfluidic systems. Spatial concentration gradients of nutrients in densely packed cell configurations may locally affect the bacterial growth leading to heterogeneous micropopulations.

Corynebacterium glutamicum regulation beyond transcription: Organizing principles and reconstruction of an extended regulatory network incorporating regulations mediated by small RNA and protein-protein interactions [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Corynebacterium glutamicum is a Gram-positive bacterium found in soil where the condition changes demand plasticity of the regulatory machinery. The study of such machinery at the global scale has been challenged by the lack of data integration. Here, we report three regulatory network models for C.

Gut Dysbiosis and Neurobehavioral Alterations in Rats Exposed to Silver Nanoparticles [PDF]
Scientific Reports 7, Article number: 2822 (2017), 2017 Due to their antimicrobial properties, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are being used in non-edible and edible consumer products. It is not clear though if exposure to these chemicals can exert toxic effects on the host and gut microbiome. Conflicting studies have been reported on whether AgNPs result in gut dysbiosis and other changes within the host. We

A Perturbative Approach to the Analysis of Many-Compartment Models Characterized by the Presence of Waning Immunity [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 The waning of immunity after recovery or vaccination is a major factor accounting for the severity and prolonged duration of an array of epidemics, ranging from COVID-19 to diphtheria and pertussis. To study the effectiveness of different immunity level-based vaccination schemes in mitigating the impact of waning immunity, we construct epidemiological ...
