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.

Recovery of the Structure and Function of the Pig Manure Bacterial Community after Enrofloxacin Exposure

Microbiology Spectrum, 2022
At present, growth-promoting antibiotics are banned in the pig industry in many countries, but therapeutic antibiotics can still be used normally. However, the effect of therapeutic antibiotics on the structure and function of the intestinal bacterial ...

Expression of human adenosine deaminase in nonhuman primates after retrovirus-mediated gene transfer. [PDF]

, 1987
Primate bone marrow cells were infected with a retroviral vector carrying the genes for human adenosine deaminase (h-ADA) and bacterial neomycin resistance (neor). The infected cells were infused back into the lethally irradiated donor animals.

Genomic Features Of A Bumble Bee Symbiont Reflect Its Host Environment [PDF]

, 2014
Here, we report the genome of one gammaproteobacterial member of the gut microbiota, for which we propose the name >Candidatus Schmidhempelia bombi,> that was inadvertently sequenced alongside the genome of its host, the bumble bee, Bombus impatiens ...

Role of Jasmonic Acid Pathway in Tomato Plant-Pseudomonas syringae Interaction [PDF]

, 2020
The jasmonic acid pathway has been considered as the backbone of the response against necrotrophic pathogens. However, a hemi-biotrophic pathogen, such as Pseudomonas syringae, has taken advantage of the crosstalk between the different plant hormones in ...

A methionine‐lined active site governs carbocation stabilization and product specificity in a bacterial terpene synthase

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This study reveals a unique active site enriched in methionine residues and demonstrates that these residues play a critical role by stabilizing carbocation intermediates through novel sulfur–cation interactions. Structure‐guided mutagenesis further revealed variants with significantly altered product profiles, enhancing pseudopterosin formation. These

Chitosan-based structures for targeting bacterial biofilm-associated genes

Carbohydrate Polymer Technologies and Applications
Biofilms are a common lifestyle, in which bacteria grow as multicellular communities. The negative consequences of biofilms are well known. The targeted suppression of certain genes is a promising approach for combating biofilms. Chitosan (CS) has become

Microbial and metabolic succession on common building materials under high humidity conditions. [PDF]

, 2019
Despite considerable efforts to characterize the microbial ecology of the built environment, the metabolic mechanisms underpinning microbial colonization and successional dynamics remain unclear, particularly at high moisture conditions. Here, we applied

Peroxidasin enables melanoma immune escape by inhibiting natural killer cell cytotoxicity

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Peroxidasin (PXDN) is secreted by melanoma cells and binds the NK cell receptor NKG2D, thereby suppressing NK cell activation and cytotoxicity. PXDN depletion restores NKG2D signaling and enables effective NK cell–mediated melanoma killing. These findings identify PXDN as a previously unrecognized immune evasion factor and a potential target to improve

Targeting bacterial biofilm-related genes with nanoparticle-based strategies

Frontiers in Microbiology
Persistent infection caused by biofilm is an urgent in medicine that should be tackled by new alternative strategies. Low efficiency of classical treatments and antibiotic resistance are the main concerns of the persistent infection due to biofilm ...
