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.

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 ...

The coevolution of toxin and antitoxin genes drives the dynamics of bacterial addiction complexes and intragenomic conflict [PDF]

, 2012
Bacterial genomes commonly contain ‘addiction’ gene complexes that code for both a toxin and a corresponding antitoxin. As long as both genes are expressed, cells carrying the complex can remain healthy.

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 ...

Diversity and biosynthetic potential of culturable microbes associated with toxic marine animals [PDF]

, 2013
Tetrodotoxin (TTX) is a neurotoxin that has been reported from taxonomically diverse organisms across 14 different phyla. The biogenic origin of tetrodotoxin is still disputed, however, TTX biosynthesis by host-associated bacteria has been reported.

Structure and Function of Soil Bacterial Communities in the Different Wetland Types of the Liaohe Estuary Wetland

Microorganisms
Soil bacterial communities play a crucial role in the functioning of estuarine wetlands. Investigating the structure and function of these communities across various wetland types, along with the key factors influencing them, is essential for ...

Functional Transcriptomics for Bacterial Gene Detectives [PDF]

Microbiology Spectrum, 2018
ABSTRACT Developments in transcriptomic technology and the availability of whole-genome-level expression profiles for many bacterial model organisms have accelerated the assignment of gene function. However, the deluge of transcriptomic data is making the analysis of gene expression a challenging task for biologists.

Enteropathogenic E. coli shows delayed attachment and host response in human jejunum organoid‐derived monolayers compared to HeLa cells

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC) infects the human intestinal epithelium, resulting in severe illness and diarrhoea. In this study, we compared the infection of cancer‐derived cell lines with human organoid‐derived models of the small intestine. We observed a delayed in attachment, inflammation and cell death on primary cells, indicating that host ...

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

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 ...
