Synteny in Bacterial Genomes: Inference, Organization and Evolution [PDF]
arXiv, 2013 Genes are not located randomly along genomes. Synteny, the conservation of their relative positions in genomes of different species, reflects fundamental constraints on natural evolution. We present approaches to infer pairs of co-localized genes from multiple genomes, describe their organization, and study their evolutionary history.

Adaptive laboratory evolution of a genome-reduced Escherichia coli. [PDF]
, 2019 Synthetic biology aims to design and construct bacterial genomes harboring the minimum number of genes required for self-replicable life. However, the genome-reduced bacteria often show impaired growth under laboratory conditions that cannot be ...

Comparative study of adenosine 3′‐pyrophosphokinase domains of MuF polymorphic toxins
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.With the ultimate goal of understanding the association of toxin‐immunity modules to temperate phages, we characterized toxins from three prophages and examined cross‐protection from immunity proteins. The toxins exhibit adenosine 3′‐pyrophosphokinase activity and are toxic in Escherichia coli.

Nature Communications, 2023 Bacterial gene repertoires reflect adaptive strategies, contribute to ecosystem functioning and are limited by genome size. However, gene functional diversity does not necessarily correlate with taxonomic diversity because average genome size may vary by

Whole genome single nucleotide polymorphism genotyping of Staphylococcus aureus [PDF]
arXiv, 2018 Next-generation sequencing technology enables routine detection of bacterial pathogens for clinical diagnostics and genetic research. Whole genome sequencing has been of importance in the epidemiologic analysis of bacterial pathogens. However, few whole genome sequencing-based genotyping pipelines are available for practical applications.

Protein O‐glycosylation in the Bacteroidota phylum
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.Species of the Bacteroidota phylum exhibit a unique O‐glycosylation system. It modifies noncytoplasmic proteins on a specific amino acid motif with a shared glycan core but a species‐specific outer glycan. A locus of multiple glycosyltransferases responsible for the synthesis of the outer glycan has been identified.

Pan-genome Analysis of the Genus Serratia [PDF]
arXiv, 2016 Pan-genome analysis is a standard procedure to decipher genome heterogeneity and diversification of bacterial species. Specie evolution is traced by defining and comparing the core (conserved), accessory (dispensable) and unique (strain-specific) gene pool with other strains of interest.

Boundaries of photosynthesis: adaptations of carbon fixation in extreme environments
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.Photosynthesis faces challenges from environmental extremes of temperature, pH, and salinity, limiting gas diffusion, modifying membrane fluidity, and destabilizing photochemical and biochemical reactions. Photosynthetic organisms have evolved unique adaptations overcoming these stresses and maintaining their photosynthetic activity.
