Bacterial Transformation Buffers Environmental Fluctuations through the Reversible Integration of Mobile Genetic Elements

mBio, 2020
Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) promotes the spread of genes within bacterial communities. Among the HGT mechanisms, natural transformation stands out as being encoded by the bacterial core genome.

What does the talking?: quorum sensing signalling genes discovered in a bacteriophage genome. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
The transfer of novel genetic material into the genomes of bacterial viruses (phages) has been widely documented in several host-phage systems. Bacterial genes are incorporated into the phage genome and, if retained, subsequently evolve within them.

Anaerobic methane-oxidizing bacterial communities in sediments of a drinking reservoir, Beijing, China

Annals of Microbiology, 2020
Purpose Nitrate/nitrite-dependent anaerobic methane oxidation (N-DAMO) connects the global cycle of carbon and nitrogen in aquatic ecosystems. The aims of this study were to investigate the spatiotemporal variation of N-DAMO bacteria and its driving ...

Diversity of Bacterial Biosynthetic Genes in Maritime Antarctica

Microorganisms, 2020
Bacterial natural products (NPs) are still a major source of new drug leads. Polyketides (PKs) and non-ribosomal peptides (NRP) are two pharmaceutically important families of NPs and recent studies have revealed Antarctica to harbor endemic polyketide ...

Phage Resistance Reduced the Pathogenicity of Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae on Rice

Viruses, 2022
Plants grow together with microbes that have both negative and positive impacts on the host, while prokaryotes are in turn also hosts for viruses, co-evolving together in a complex interrelationship.

Transcriptomic Biomarkers to Discriminate Bacterial from Nonbacterial Infection in Adults Hospitalized with Respiratory Illness

Scientific Reports, 2017
Lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI) commonly causes hospitalization in adults. Because bacterial diagnostic tests are not accurate, antibiotics are frequently prescribed. Peripheral blood gene expression to identify subjects with bacterial infection

Bacterial community and arsenic functional genes diversity in arsenic contaminated soils from different geographic locations. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2017
To understand how soil microbial communities and arsenic (As) functional genes respond to soil arsenic (As) contamination, five soils contaminated with As at different levels were collected from diverse geographic locations, incubated for 54 days under ...

Burkholderiaceae and Multidrug Resistance Genes Are Key Players in Resistome Development in a Germfree Soil Model

mSystems, 2021
Assembly of a resistome in parallel with the establishment of a microbial community is not well understood. Germfree models can reveal microbiota interactions and shed light on bacterial colonization and resistance development under antibiotic pressure ...

Recessive Resistance Genes and the Oryza sativa-Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae Pathosystem

Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2007
Though recessive resistance is well-studied in viral systems, little is understood regarding the phenomenon in plant-bacterial interactions. The Oryza sativa-Xanthomonas oryzae pv. orzyae pathosystem provides an excellent opportunity to examine recessive

DNA Geometry Around Highly Transcribed Bacterial Genes

Microorganisms
Recent high-resolution (≈500 bp) Hi-C experiments reported contact maps with unusual patterns around highly expressed bacterial DNA loci. These patterns, described as “arched stripes” and “bundled domains”, extend over nearly 100 kbp.
