MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 13, Issue 5, October 2024.The presence of microbiota did not affect the growth of Clostridioides difficile in this study. However, it did influence the expression of C. difficile genes related to sporulation, germination, and virulence, which are crucial for the transmission of the pathogen. In the presence of microbiota, C.

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019 Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Neisseria meningitidis release peptidoglycan (PG) fragments from the cell as the bacteria grow. For N. gonorrhoeae these PG fragments are known to cause damage to human Fallopian tube tissue in organ culture that mimics the ...

A metagenomic survey of the fecal microbiome of the African savanna elephant (Loxodonta africana)
Animal Genetics, Volume 55, Issue 4, Page 621-643, August 2024.Abstract The African savanna elephant (Loxodonta africana) is the largest terrestrial animal on Earth and is found primarily in Southern and Eastern Africa. It is a hindgut, colonic fermenter and subsists on a diet of raw plant materials found in its grazing area.

IUCrJLytic transglycosylases (LTs) play a central role in bacterial cell wall remodeling by cleaving the β-1,4-glycosidic bond in peptidoglycan via a non-hydrolytic mechanism, producing 1,6-anhydroMurNAc termini crucial for recycling and signaling. Among LTs,

Molecular Microbiology, Volume 122, Issue 2, Page 213-229, August 2024.Model for the cleavage of SpoIIP by SpoIVB2 during sporulation in Clostridioides difficile. Soon after engulfment completion, SpoIVB2 cleaves SpoIIP, part of the engulfasome complex, to generate the SpoIIPc form. The function of SpoIVB2 is required for synthesis of the cortex layer which takes place across the outer forespore membrane.

Crystal structure of the PepSY-containing domain of the YpeB protein involved in germination of bacillus spores. [PDF]
, 2015 The crystal structure of the C-terminal domain of the Bacillus megaterium YpeB protein has been solved by X-ray crystallography to 1.80-Å resolution. The full-length protein is essential in stabilising the SleB cortex lytic enzyme in Bacillus spores, and

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 26, Issue 7, July 2024.The interactions between the lipid‐containing ssDNA phage FLiP and its three Flavobacterium hosts are influenced by factors such as the host strain and culture conditions, including temperature and bacterial growth phase. Abstract The influence of environmental factors on the interactions between phages and bacteria, particularly single‐stranded DNA ...

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020 Despite the high abundance of Aquificae in many geothermal systems, these bacteria are difficult to culture and no viruses infecting members of this phylum have been isolated. Here, we describe the complete, circular dsDNA Uncultivated Virus Genome (UViG)
