Are alkane hydroxylase genes (alkB) relevant to assess petroleum bioremediation processes in chronically polluted coastal sediments? [PDF]
, 2011 The diversity of alkB-related alkane hydroxylase sequences and the relationship between alkB gene expres- sion and the hydrocarbon contamination level have been investigated in the chronically polluted Etang-de-Berre sediments. For this purpose, these

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.

Lateral gene transfer between prokaryotes and multicellular eukaryotes: ongoing and significant? [PDF]
, 2009 The expansion of genome sequencing projects has produced accumulating evidence for lateral transfer of genes between prokaryotic and eukaryotic genomes. However, it remains controversial whether these genes are of functional importance in their recipient

Implication of gene distribution in the bacterial chromosome for the bacterial cell factory [PDF]
Journal of Biotechnology, 2000 As bacterial genome sequences accumulate, more and more pieces of data suggest that there is a significant correlation between the distribution of genes along the chromosome and the physical architecture of the cell, suggesting that the map of the cell is in the chromosome.

Distribution and diversity of bacterial secretion systems across metagenomic datasets [PDF]
, 2012 Bacteria can manipulate their surrounding environment through the secretion of proteins into other living organisms and into the extracellular milieu. In Gram stain negative bacteria this process is mediated by different types of secretion systems from ...

Multiple gene sequence analysis using genes of the bacterial DNA repair pathway
Brazilian Archives of Biology and Technology, 2015 The ability to recognize and repair abnormal DNA structures is common to all forms of life. Physiological studies and genomic sequencing of a variety of bacterial species have identified an incredible diversity of DNA repair pathways.
