Giant number fluctuations in microbial ecologies
, 2012 Statistical fluctuations in population sizes of microbes may be quite large depending on the nature of their underlying stochastic dynamics. For example, the variance of the population size of a microbe undergoing a pure birth process with unlimited ...

The Bacillus subtilis signaling protein SpoIVB defines a new family of serine peptidases [PDF]
, 2002 The protein SpoIVB plays a key role in signaling in the sigma (K) checkpoint of Bacillus subtilis. This regulatory mechanism coordinates late gene expression during development in this organism and we have recently shown SpoIVB to be a serine peptidase ...

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 26, Issue 12, December 2024.Similar to Pavlov's dog experiment, where two different stimuli can elicit the same response, environmental bacteria exposed to one of two simultaneous and unrelated stimuli may eventually trigger responses to both. ABSTRACT The canonical arsRBC genes of the ars1 operon in Pseudomonas putida KT2440, which confer tolerance to arsenate and arsenite, are ...

Reduced Binding of the Endolysin LysTP712 to Lactococcus lactis ΔftsH Contributes to Phage Resistance [PDF]
, 2016 Absence of the membrane protease FtsH in Lactococcus lactis hinders release of the bacteriophage TP712. In this work we have analyzed the mechanism responsible for the non-lytic phenotype of L. lactis ΔftsH after phage infection.

Estimating the Importance of Viral Contributions to Soil Carbon Dynamics
Global Change Biology, Volume 30, Issue 10, October 2024.Written Summary: Viruses are ubiquitous in soils and impact global carbon cycling through infection of microbial hosts. Using existing data from the literature, we generate a global budget of the carbon potentially released from microbial biomass by viral infections in soils.

DNA Packaging Specificity in the λ‐Like Phages: Gifsy‐1
Molecular Microbiology, Volume 122, Issue 4, Page 491-503, October 2024.Dimeric λ TerS and chimera transition points. The N‐termini of each TerS derives from a λ‐like source phage: Gifsy‐1, 21, and N15 (labeled arrows). The N‐terminus includes the winged‐helix‐turn‐helix (HTH) DNA‐binding motif that confers the source phage's DNA packaging specificity.

Phages for Phage Therapy: Isolation, Characterization, and Host Range Breadth
Pharmaceuticals, 2019 For a bacteriophage to be useful for phage therapy it must be both isolated from the environment and shown to have certain characteristics beyond just killing strains of the target bacterial pathogen.
