Insertion sequence contributes to the evolution and environmental adaptation of Acidithiobacillus

BMC Genomics, 2023
Background The genus Acidithiobacillus has been widely concerned due to its superior survival and oxidation ability in acid mine drainage (AMD). However, the contribution of insertion sequence (IS) to their biological evolution and environmental ...

Human mesenchymal stem cell responses to hydrostatic pressure and shear stress [PDF]

European Cells & Materials, 2016
The effects of mechanical stimuli to which cells are exposed in vivo are, at best, incompletely understood; in this respect, gene-level information regarding cell functions which are pertinent to new tissue formation is of special interest and importance

Drosophila GENE Experiment in the Spanish Soyuz Mission to the ISS: II. Effects of the Containment Constraints [PDF]

Microgravity Science and Technology, 2008
6 páginas, 2 figuras, 1 tabla -- PAGS nros. 299-304 In the GENE experiment performed during an 11-day Soyuz Mission to the International Space Station (ISS), we intended to determine if microgravity affects Drosophila metamorphosis processes. Control experiments were performed including a 1g ground control parallel to the ISS flight samples and a ...

Insertion sequence transposition inactivates CRISPR-Cas immunity

Nature Communications, 2023
CRISPR-Cas immunity systems safeguard prokaryotic genomes by inhibiting the invasion of mobile genetic elements. Here, we screened prokaryotic genomic sequences and identified multiple natural transpositions of insertion sequences (ISs) into cas genes ...

Genomic Characterization of Potential Plant Growth-Promoting Features of Sphingomonas Strains Isolated from the International Space Station

Microbiology Spectrum, 2022
In an ongoing microbial tracking investigation of the International Space Station (ISS), several Sphingomonas strains were isolated. Based on the 16S rRNA gene sequence, phylogenetic analysis identified the ISS strains as Sphingomonas sanguinis (n = 2 ...

Easy identification of insertion sequence mobilization events in related bacterial strains with ISCompare

G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2021
Bacterial genomes are composed of core and accessory genomes. The first is composed of housekeeping and essential genes, while the second is highly enriched in mobile genetic elements, including transposable elements (TEs). Insertion sequences (ISs), the

Comparative Genomics Identified a Genetic Locus in Plant-Associated Pseudomonas spp. That Is Necessary for Induced Systemic Susceptibility

mBio, 2020
Plant root-associated microbes promote plant growth and elicit induced systemic resistance (ISR) to foliar pathogens. In an attempt to find novel growth-promoting and ISR-inducing strains, we previously identified strains of root-associated Pseudomonas ...
