Isolation, characterization, molecular analysis and application of bacteriophage DW-EC to control Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli on various foods

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2022
Among food preservation methods, bacteriophage treatment can be a viable alternative method to overcome the drawbacks of traditional approaches.

The influence of the accessory genome on bacterial pathogen evolution [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Bacterial pathogens exhibit significant variation in their genomic content of virulence factors. This reflects the abundance of strategies pathogens evolved to infect host organisms by suppressing host immunity.

Expanding the substrate scope of a bacterial monoterpene synthase for the production of sesquiterpenoid and diterpenoid products

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
We have converted the only known true bacterial monoterpene synthase, cineole synthase from Streptomyces clavuligerus (bCinS, C10 substrate), to a highly competent sesquiterpene synthase (C15) with a minimum number of rational mutations. By comparison with diterpene synthases (C20), we were then able to bestow diterpene synthase activity on bCinS. This

The gp44 Ejection Protein of Staphylococcus aureus Bacteriophage 80α Binds to the Ends of the Genome and Protects It from Degradation

open access: yesViruses, 2020
Bacteriophage 80α is a representative of a class of temperate phages that infect Staphylococcus aureus and other Gram-positive bacteria. Many of these phages carry genes encoding toxins and other virulence factors.

Rapid identification of E. coli bacteriophages using mass spectrometry [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Objective: The current increasing interest in the application of mass spectrometry, in particular MALDI-TOF MS, to identification of bacteria and fungi calls for a need to utilise this technology for identification of other infectious agents such as ...

Crystal structure of plant γ‐glutamyl peptidase 1: implications for sulfur metabolism and secondary metabolite biosynthesis

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
The crystal structures of Arabidopsis thaliana γ‐glutamyl peptidase 1 (GGP1), including the covalent intermediate state, were determined. GGP1 is involved in both glutathione degradation in the primary metabolism and glutathione conjugate processing in the secondary metabolism of glucosinolate and camalexin biosynthesis.

Dark Matter Carried by <i>Sinorhizobium meliloti</i> phiLM21-like Prophages. [PDF]

open access: yesInt J Mol Sci
A comprehensive comparative analysis was conducted on the nucleotide and amino acid sequences of intact phiLM21-like prophages (phiLM21-LPhs), which currently represent the most prevalent prophages in Sinorhizobium meliloti—a symbiotic partner of ...

Ecological and Evolutionary Benefits of Temperate Phage: What Does or Doesn't Kill You Makes You Stronger [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Infection by a temperate phage can lead to death of the bacterial cell, but sometimes these phages integrate into the bacterial chromosome, offering the potential for a more long-lasting relationship to be established.

Phycocyanobilin biosynthesis in Galdieria sulphuraria requires isomerization of phycoerythrobilin synthesized by bilin reductases

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
The biosynthesis of bilins, tetrapyrroles essential for light harvesting and sensing, is performed by specific enzymes (FDBRs). In Galdieria sulphuraria, both phycobiliprotein types bind phycocyanobilin, despite lacking the canonical synthesizing gene PCYA. Instead, PEBA and PEBB are encoded, producing phycoerythrobilin, proposed to be later isomerized

Sequence Variability of P2-Like Prophage Genomes Carrying the Cytolethal Distending Toxin V Operon in Escherichia coli O157 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Cytolethal distending toxins (CDT) are potent cytotoxins of several Gram-negative pathogenic bacteria, including Escherichia coli, in which five types (CDT-I to CDT-V) have been identified so far.
