nec1, a Gene Conferring a Necrogenic Phenotype, Is Conserved in Plant-Pathogenic Streptomyces spp. and Linked to a Transposase Pseudogene

open access: yesMolecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 1998
We are investigating the genetic basis for, and evolution of, plant pathogenicity in Streptomyces spp. The plant-pathogenic species S. scabies, S. acidiscabies, and S.

Does habitat variability really promote metabolic network modularity? [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
The hypothesis that variability in natural habitats promotes modular organization is widely accepted for cellular networks. However, results of some data analyses and theoretical studies have begun to cast doubt on the impact of habitat variability on ...

Horizontal gene transfer overrides mutation in Escherichia coli colonizing the mammalian gut

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2019
Significance Colonization of the mammalian gut by trillions of commensal bacteria starts early in life and contributes to host health. However, colonization by pathogens can be the launching pad for infection.

Evolution of substrate specificity in a recipient's enzyme following horizontal gene transfer [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Despite the prominent role of horizontal gene transfer (HGT) in shaping bacterial metabolism, little is known about the impact of HGT on the evolution of enzyme function.

Horizontal gene transfer contributes to virulence and antibiotic resistance of Vibrio harveyi 345 based on complete genome sequence analysis

open access: yesBMC Genomics, 2019
Horizontal gene transfer (HGT), which is affected by environmental pollution and climate change, promotes genetic communication, changing bacterial pathogenicity and drug resistance.

Prokaryotic ancestry and gene fusion of a dual localized peroxiredoxin in malaria parasites

open access: yesMicrobial Cell, 2015
Horizontal gene transfer has emerged as a crucial driving force for the evolution of eukaryotes. This also includes Plasmodium falciparum and related economically and clinically relevant apicomplexan parasites, whose rather small genomes have been shaped

Assessing the occurrence and transfer dynamics of ESBL/pAmpC-producing Escherichia coli across the broiler production pyramid [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Extended-spectrum \u3b2-lactamase (ESBL)- and plasmid mediated AmpC-type cephalosporinase (pAmpC)-producing Escherichia coli (ESBL/pAmpC E. coli) in food-producing animals is a major public health concern.
