Effect of bacteriophage lysin on lysogens [PDF]
Asian Pacific Journal of Tropical Biomedicine, 2011 To study the effect of phage lysin on the growth of lysogens.Sputum specimens processed by modified Petroff's method were respectively treated with phagebiotics in combination with lysin and lysin alone. The specimens were incubated at 37 °C for 4 days.

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 ...

What makes the lac-pathway switch: identifying the fluctuations that trigger phenotype switching in gene regulatory systems [PDF]
, 2014 Multistable gene regulatory systems sustain different levels of gene expression under identical external conditions. Such multistability is used to encode phenotypic states in processes including nutrient uptake and persistence in bacteria, fate ...

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.
