Extracellular DNA metabolism in Haloferax volcanii [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2014 Extracellular DNA is found in all environments and is a dynamic component of the micro-bial ecosystem. Microbial cells produce and interact with extracellular DNA through many endogenous mechanisms.

Soot and charcoal as reservoirs of extracellular DNA [PDF]
Peer Community Journal, 2021 The vast potential of using sediment adsorbed DNA as a window to past and present biodiversity rely on the ability of solid surfaces to adsorb environmental DNA. However, a comprehensive insight into DNA adsorption at surfaces in general is lacking. Soot and charcoal are carbonaceous materials widespread in the environment where they readily can come ...

Minimal Influence of Extracellular DNA on Molecular Surveys of Marine Sedimentary Communities [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018 Extracellular DNA has been reported to comprise a large fraction of total DNA in near-seafloor sediment. However, the potential effect of extracellular DNA, arising from dead or moribund cells, on sequencing surveys is a critical concern that has largely

Extracellular DNA-induced antimicrobial peptide resistance mechanisms in Pseudomonas aeruginosa. [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2013 Extracellular DNA (eDNA) is in the environment, bodily fluids, in the matrix of biofilms, and accumulates at infection sites. Extracellular DNA can function as a nutrient source, a universal biofilm matrix component and an innate immune effector in ...

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2018 The extracellular adherence protein (Eap) of Staphylococcus aureus is a secreted protein known to exert a number of adhesive and immunomodulatory properties. Here we describe the intrinsic DNA binding activity of this multifunctional secretory factor. By

Extracellular DNA-protein interactions. [PDF]
Curr Opin Struct BiolIntracellular DNA primarily serves as the cellular genetic material both in eukaryotes and prokaryotes. This function is often regulated by alterations in the DNA structure to accommodate transcription, recombination, and DNA replication. Extracellularly, both eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells take advantage of DNA plenty in addition to a permissive ...

Dynamics of Urinary Extracellular DNA in Urosepsis. [PDF]
Biomolecules, 2023 Extracellular DNA (ecDNA) is a promising candidate marker for the early diagnosis and monitoring of urinary tract infections (UTIs). The aim of our study is to describe the dynamics of ecDNA in the plasma and urine of patients with urosepsis as well as in a mouse model of UTI.

In vivo evidence for extracellular DNA trap formation. [PDF]
, 2020 Extracellular DNA trap formation is a cellular function of neutrophils, eosinophils, and basophils that facilitates the immobilization and killing of invading microorganisms in the extracellular milieu. To form extracellular traps, granulocytes release a

Extracellular DNA and autoimmune diseases [PDF]
Cellular & Molecular Immunology, 2018 Extracellular DNA is secreted from various sources including apoptotic cells, NETotic neutrophils and bacterial biofilms. Extracellular DNA can stimulate innate immune responses to induce type-I IFN production after being endocytosed. This process is central in antiviral responses but it also plays important role in the pathogenesis of a range of ...
