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

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.

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.

Integrated regulation of the type III secretion system and other virulence determinants in Ralstonia solanacearum [PDF]

, 2006
In many plant and animal bacterial pathogens, the Type III secretion system (TTSS) that directly translocates effector proteins into the eukaryotic host cells is essential for the development of disease.

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 ...

MLST revisited: the gene-by-gene approach to bacterial genomics [PDF]

Nature Reviews Microbiology, 2013
Multilocus sequence typing (MLST) was proposed in 1998 as a portable sequence-based method for identifying clonal relationships among bacteria. Today, in the whole-genome era of microbiology, the need for systematic, standardized descriptions of bacterial genotypic variation remains a priority.

Characterization of a novel bacterial PAMP - elongation factor Tu - and its role in "Arabidopsis thaliana" defense and immunity [PDF]

, 2005
The discrimination of self and nonself is a primary challenge for all living organisms to detect microbial invasion and to protect and defend against the invader.
