Microbial diversity and the genetic nature of microbial species [PDF]
Nature Reviews Microbiology, 2008 The earth contains a huge number of largely uncharacterized Bacteria and Archaea. Microbiologists are struggling to summarize their genetic diversity and classify them, which has resulted in heated debates on methods for defining species, mechanisms that lead to speciation and whether microbial species even exist. This Review proposes that decisions on

Scientific Reports, 2018 p63, a transcriptional factor that belongs to the p53 family, regulates epidermal differentiation, stemness, cell death, tumorigenesis, metastasis, and senescence. However, its molecular mechanism remains elusive. We report here that TAp63 phosphorylated

The Devil Is in the Microbial Genetic Details [PDF]
Molecular Cell, 2019 The work of Zeevi et al. (2019) in a recent issue of Nature shows that variations in gene content and organization between different strains of the same microbial species are widespread in the human gut microbiota and could be linked to many measures of health.

New approaches to combat Porphyromonas gingivalis biofilms
Journal of Oral Microbiology, 2017 In nature, bacteria predominantly reside in structured, surface-attached communities embedded in a self-produced, extracellular matrix. These so-called biofilms play an important role in the development and pathogenesis of many infections, as they are ...

Journal of Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology, 2023 Background Staphylococcus aureus spreads its infections through biofilms. This usually happens in the stationary phase of S. aureus growth where it utilizes accumulated acetate as a carbon source via the phosphotrans-acetylase-acetate kinase (Pta-Ack ...

Genetically Programmable Microbial Assembly
ACS Synthetic Biology, 2021 Engineered microbial communities show promise in a wide range of applications, including environmental remediation, microbiome engineering, and synthesis of fine chemicals. Here we present methods by which bacterial aggregates can be directed into several distinct architectures by inducible surface expression of heteroassociative protein domains ...

Inhibiting bacterial cooperation is an evolutionarily robust anti-biofilm strategy
Nature Communications, 2020 Bacterial biofilms rely on shared extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) and are often highly tolerant to antibiotics. Here, the authors show in in vitro experiments that Salmonella does not evolve resistance to EPS inhibition because such strains are ...
