I. Structure-Function Analysis of the Mechanosensitive Channel of Large Conductance. II. Design of Novel Magnetic Materials using Crystal Engineering [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
The work presented here encompasses two distinct areas, with the first section addressing structure-function relationships in the mechanosensitive channel of large conductance (MscL) from bacteria.

Development of a multiplex PCR assay for detection of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli, Enterohemorrhagic E. coli and Enteropathogenic E. coli strains

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2012
Escherichia coli O157:H7 and other pathogenic E. coli strains are enteric pathogens associated with food safety threats and which remain a significant cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide.

Tumour–host interactions in Drosophila: mechanisms in the tumour micro‐ and macroenvironment

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This review examines how tumour–host crosstalk takes place at multiple levels of biological organisation, from local cell competition and immune crosstalk to organism‐wide metabolic and physiological collapse. Here, we integrate findings from Drosophila melanogaster studies that reveal conserved mechanisms through which tumours hijack host systems to ...

Effect of temperature, pH and plasmids on in vitro biofilm formation in Escherichia coli [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Acid resistance (AR) in Escherichia coli is an important trait that protects this microorganism from the deleterious effect of low-pH environments. Reports on biofilm formation in E.

Detection and isolation of Shiga Toxin‐producing Escherichia coli (STEC) strains in caecal samples from pigs at slaughter in Italy

open access: yesVeterinary Medicine and Science, 2019
Shiga toxin‐producing Escherichia coli (STEC) strains are food‐borne pathogens of public health concern. Despite ruminants are the most important reservoir, STEC human infections have also been attributed to pigs.

Phylogenetic and pathotype analysis of Escherichia coli swine isolates from Southern Brazil

open access: yesPesquisa Veterinária Brasileira, 2012
The current study evaluated the presence of virulence factors by a multiplex PCR technique and then phylogenetically classified the studied strains into groups A, B1, B2 and D, according to Clermont et al.

Rethinking plastic waste: innovations in enzymatic breakdown of oil‐based polyesters and bioplastics

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Plastic pollution remains a critical environmental challenge, and current mechanical and chemical recycling methods are insufficient to achieve a fully circular economy. This review highlights recent breakthroughs in the enzymatic depolymerization of both oil‐derived polyesters and bioplastics, including high‐throughput protein engineering, de novo ...

2011 German Escherichia coli outbreak: Alignment-free whole-genome phylogeny by feature frequency profiles [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Accuracy of SNP-based whole-genome phylogeny reconstruction relies heavily on quality of sequence alignment which is particularly hindered by poorly assembled genomes. Alignment-free methods might provide additional insights. Here, we constructed a whole-

Advances in Molecular Serotyping and Subtyping of Escherichia coli

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2016
Escherichia coli plays an important role as a member of the gut microbiota; however, pathogenic strains also exist, including various diarrheagenic E. coli pathotypes and extraintestinal pathogenic E. coli that cause illness outside of the GI-tract.

A general model for analysis of linear and hyperbolic enzyme inhibition mechanisms

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
We developed a general enzyme kinetic model that integrates these six basic inhibition mechanism onto a single one. From this model, we deduced a general enzyme kinetic equation that through modulation of simple parameters, γ (the relative inhibitor affinity for two binding sites) and β (the reactivity of the enzyme–substrate–inhibitor complex), is ...
