Assessment of the decay rates of microbial source tracking molecular markers and faecal indicator bacteria from different sources

Journal of Applied Microbiology, 2018
Evaluate the T90 and compare the decay of different faecal indicator bacteria (FIB) and molecular microbial source tracking (MST) markers of human and animal sources during summer and winter.

Peptide‐based ligand antagonists block a Vibrio cholerae adhesin

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The structure of a peptide‐binding domain of the Vibrio cholerae adhesin FrhA was solved by X‐ray crystallography, revealing how the inhibitory peptide AGYTD binds tightly at its Ca2+‐coordinated pocket. Structure‐guided design incorporating D‐amino acids enhanced binding affinity, providing a foundation for developing anti‐adhesion therapeutics ...

The microbiological quality of water: the nature of the problem [PDF]

, 1997
Improvements in methods for the detection and enumeration of microbes in water, particularly the application of techniques of molecular biology, have highlighted shortcomings in the ”standard methods” for assessing water quality. Higher expectations from

Sensitive and specific detection of E. coli using biomimetic receptors in combination with a modified heat-transfer method [PDF]

, 2019
We report on a novel biomimetic sensor that allows sensitive and specific detection of Escherichia colt (E. coli) bacteria in a broad concentration range from 10(2) up to 10(6) CFU/mL in both buffer fluids and relevant food samples (i.e.

The Investigation of Bioindicator Bacteria in the Supralittoral Zone Sands and Seawater in the Sea of Marmara, İstanbul Province

Aquatic Sciences and Engineering
Investigation of the presence of bioindicator bacteria in the seas is important in terms of detecting bacteriological marine pollution due to human activities and as an indicator of the possible presence of pathogenic bacteria in the environment.

Protein pyrophosphorylation by inositol pyrophosphates — detection, function, and regulation

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Protein pyrophosphorylation is an unusual signaling mechanism that was discovered two decades ago. It can be driven by inositol pyrophosphate messengers and influences various cellular processes. Herein, we summarize the research progress and challenges of this field, covering pathways found to be regulated by this posttranslational modification as ...

Lignin engineering in field-grown poplar trees affects the endosphere bacterial microbiome [PDF]

, 2016
Cinnamoyl-CoA reductase (CCR), an enzyme central to the lignin bio-synthetic pathway, represents a promising biotechnological target to reduce lignin levels and to improve the commercial viability of lignocellulosic biomass. However, silencing of the CCR

Substrate specificity of Burkholderia pseudomallei multidrug transporters is influenced by the hydrophilic patch in the substrate‐binding pocket

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Multidrug transporters BpeB and BpeF from the Gram‐negative pathogen Burkholderia pseudomallei have a hydrophilic patch in their substrate‐binding pocket. Drug susceptibility tests and growth curve analyses using an Escherichia coli recombinant expression system revealed that the hydrophilic patches of BpeB and BpeF are involved in the substrate ...

Exploring fecal indicator bacteria in a constructed stormwater wetland

Water Science and Technology, 2011
Microbial pollution in surface waters is a concern throughout the world, with both public health and economic implications. One contributing source to such pollution is stormwater runoff, often treated using various types of stormwater control measures.
