The fate of new bacterial genes [PDF]

FEMS Microbiology Reviews, 2009
Bacteria experience a continual influx of novel genetic material from a wide range of sources and yet their genomes remain relatively small. This aspect of bacterial evolution indicates that most newly arriving sequences are rapidly eliminated; however, numerous new genes persist, as evident from the presence of unique genes in almost all bacterial ...

Small variable segments constitute a major type of diversity of bacterial genomes at the species level [PDF]

, 2010
Analysis of large scale diversity in bacterial genomes has mainly focused on elements such as pathogenicity islands, or more generally, genomic islands. These comprise numerous genes and confer important phenotypes, which are present or absent depending ...

Genes within Genes in Bacterial Genomes

Microbiology Spectrum, 2018
ABSTRACT Genetic coding in bacteria largely operates via the “one gene-one protein” paradigm. However, the peculiarities of the mRNA structure, the versatility of the genetic code, and the dynamic nature of translation sometimes allow organisms to deviate from the standard rules of protein encoding.

Bacterial gene therapy strategies [PDF]

The Journal of Pathology, 2005
AbstractThe ability of bacteria to mediate gene transfer has only recently been established and these observations have led to the utilization of various bacterial strains in gene therapy. The types of bacteria used include attenuated strains of Salmonella, Shigella, Listeria, and Yersinia, as well as non‐pathogenic Escherichia coli.

The supragenic organization of glycoside hydrolase encoding genes reveals distinct strategies for carbohydrate utilization in bacteria

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023
Glycoside hydrolases (GHs) are carbohydrate-active enzymes essential for many environmental (e.g., carbon cycling) and biotechnological (e.g., biofuels) processes.

VBCG: 20 validated bacterial core genes for phylogenomic analysis with high fidelity and resolution

Microbiome, 2023
Background Phylogenomic analysis has become an inseparable part of studies of bacterial diversity and evolution, and many different bacterial core genes have been collated and used for phylogenomic tree reconstruction.

Gene-for-Gene Tolerance to Bacterial Wilt in Arabidopsis [PDF]

Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions®, 2013
Bacterial wilt caused by Ralstonia solanacearum is a disease of widespread economic importance that affects numerous plant species, including Arabidopsis thaliana. We describe a pathosystem between A. thaliana and biovar 3 phylotype I strain BCCF402 of R. solanacearum isolated from Eucalyptus trees. A.

Canine uterine bacterial infection induces upregulation of proteolysis-related genes and downregulation of homeobox and zinc finger factors. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2009
BACKGROUND: Bacterial infection with the severe complication of sepsis is a frequent and serious condition, being a major cause of death worldwide. To cope with the plethora of occurring bacterial infections there is therefore an urgent need to identify ...

RNA‐Seq for Bacterial Gene Expression [PDF]

Current Protocols in Nucleic Acid Chemistry, 2018
AbstractRNA sequencing (RNA‐seq) has become the preferred method for global quantification of bacterial gene expression. With the continued improvements in sequencing technology and data analysis tools, the most labor‐intensive and expensive part of an RNA‐seq experiment is the preparation of sequencing libraries, which is also essential for the ...
