Bacillus anthracis edema factor substrate specificity: evidence for new modes of action [PDF]
Since the isolation of Bacillus anthracis exotoxins in the 1960s, the detrimental activity of edema factor (EF) was considered as adenylyl cyclase activity only.

Rhizobium sp. BR816 Produces a Complex Mixture of Known and Novel Lipochitooligosaccharide Molecules
Rhizobial lipochitooligosaccharide (LCO) signal molecules induce various plant responses, leading to nodule development. We report here the LCO structures of the broad-host range strain Rhizobium sp. BR816.

Promiscuous specialists: Host specificity patterns among generalist louse flies.
Ectoparasites such as louse flies (Diptera: Hippoboscidae) have tendency for host specialization, which is driven by adaptation to host biology as well as competition avoidance between parasites of the same host.

Bacterial leaf symbiosis in angiosperms: host specificity without co-speciation. [PDF]
Bacterial leaf symbiosis is a unique and intimate interaction between bacteria and flowering plants, in which endosymbionts are organized in specialized leaf structures.

Complete Genome Sequences of vB_LmoS_188 and vB_LmoS_293, Two Bacteriophages with Specificity for Listeria monocytogenes Strains of Serotypes 4b and 4e [PDF]
peer-reviewedListeria monocytogenes is responsible for the rare disease listeriosis, which is associated with the consumption of contaminated food products. We report here the complete genome sequences of vB_LmoS_188 and vB_LmoS_293, phages isolated from

Global patterns of modularity and narrow host use in fish-parasitic copepods (Crustacea) [PDF]
Parasitic copepods are amongst the most diverse and ecologically significant parasites of fish, yet their macroecological patterns remain poorly understood. In this study, a comprehensive dataset of fish–copepod associations was obtained and curated from

Identification of Host-Specific Bacteroidales 16S rDNA Sequences from Human Sewage and Ruminant Feces [PDF]
The need to identify the source of fecal contamination of water has led to the development of various fecal source identification methods, a field known as microbial source tracking (MST). One promising method of MST focuses on fecal members of the order

Host Identity Specific Multicast [PDF]
Multicasting is a key technology for both users and service providers as it enables important bandwidth savings, and thus lower costs, for content distribution and group communication. The current network level multicast solutions have several weaknesses.

Stochastic spatial models of host-pathogen and host-mutualist interactions I
Mutualists and pathogens, collectively called symbionts, are ubiquitous in plant communities. While some symbionts are highly host-specific, others associate with multiple hosts.
