A study of various environmental factors on the growth, encystment and survival of free living amoebae : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Microbiology at Massey University [PDF]
, 1985 Free-living amoebae (FLA) are soil organisms which have a worldwide distribution. Interest was raised when they were implicated in two fatal and several non-fatal infections in humans. This investigation involved examination of the role and/or effect of

Genome‐Wide In Silico Analysis of the Type VI Secretion System (T6SS) Within the Morganella Genus
MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 3, June 2026.▪ Species‐specific T6SS patterns among Morganella genus (M. morganii and M. sibonii). ▪ Only one‐third of M. morganii isolates haboured a T6SS. ▪ All M. sibonii possess four T6SS clusters. ▪ M. sibonii exhibited a wide diversity of effectors compared to M. morganii.

Balancing Building Water Conservation and Microbial Water Quality
Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 5, May 2026.Abstract Flow restrictors are widely used to improve water efficiency by limiting flow rates in faucets and showerheads. While these devices contribute to significant reductions in water consumption and associated energy costs, they may also pose unintended risks to microbial water quality. In healthcare and other high‐risk settings, reduced flow rates

Free living amoebae and human disease
Microbiology Australia, 2016 Pathogenic FLA are ubiquitous protozoans and despite frequent human contact remain a rare cause of often devastating infectionwith poor prognosis. Given changes in climate, human encroachment into the environment, increasing immunosuppression, and improving diagnostic capacity, it is likely we will see increased cases in the future.

The FEBS Journal, Volume 293, Issue 9, Page 2772-2793, May 2026.The Xanthomonas citri Hanks‐type kinase PknS autophosphorylates and directly phosphorylates the alternative sigma factor EcfK at five residues. Besides the conserved residue T51 in the σ2 domain, phosphorylation of a residue in the linker between σ2 and σ4 is critical for EcfK activation by promoting its interaction with a positively charged pocket in ...
