PLoS ONE, 2016 Bacterial pathogenicity and antibiotic resistance are of concern for environmental safety and public health. Accumulating evidence suggests that wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are as an important sink and source of pathogens and antibiotic ...

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.

Bacterial CRISPR screens for gene function
Current Opinion in Microbiology, 2021 In this review we describe the application of CRISPR tools for functional genomics screens in bacteria, with a focus on the use of interference (CRISPRi) approaches. We review recent developments in CRISPRi titration, which has enabled essential gene functional screens, and genome-scale pooled CRISPRi screens.

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.

cDNA-RNA subtractive hybridization reveals increased expression of mycocerosic acid synthase in intracellular Mycobacterium bovis BCG. [PDF]
, 2001 Identifying genes that are differentially expressed by Mycobacterium bovis BCG after phagocytosis by macrophages will facilitate the understanding of the molecular mechanisms of host cell-intracellular pathogen interactions. To identify such genes a cDNA-

Adaptive laboratory evolution of a genome-reduced Escherichia coli. [PDF]
, 2019 Synthetic biology aims to design and construct bacterial genomes harboring the minimum number of genes required for self-replicable life. However, the genome-reduced bacteria often show impaired growth under laboratory conditions that cannot be ...

The infinitely many genes model with horizontal gene transfer
, 2014 The genome of bacterial species is much more flexible than that of eukaryotes. Moreover, the distributed genome hypothesis for bacteria states that the total number of genes present in a bacterial population is greater than the genome of every single ...

Functional Traits Co-Occurring with Mobile Genetic Elements in the Microbiome of the Atacama Desert [PDF]
, 2019 Mobile genetic elements (MGEs) play an essential role in bacterial adaptation and evolution. These elements are enriched within bacterial communities from extreme environments. However, very little is known if specific genes co-occur with MGEs in extreme
