Evolution of longitudinal division in multicellular bacteria of the Neisseriaceae family [PDF]

Nature Communications, 2022
Rod-shaped bacteria typically elongate and divide by transverse fission, but a few species are known to divide longitudinally. Here, the authors use genomic, phylogenetic and microscopy techniques to shed light on the evolution of cell shape ...

Structural analysis of haemoglobin binding by HpuA from the Neisseriaceae family [PDF]

Nature Communications, 2015
The Neisseriaceae family of bacteria causes a range of diseases including meningitis, septicaemia, gonorrhoea and endocarditis, and extracts haem from haemoglobin as an important iron source within the iron-limited environment of its human host.

Sequence-based predictions of lipooligosaccharide diversity in the Neisseriaceae and their implication in pathogenicity. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
Endotoxin [Lipopolysaccharide (LPS)/Lipooligosaccharide (LOS)] is an important virulence determinant in gram negative bacteria. While the genetic basis of endotoxin production and its role in disease in the pathogenic Neisseria has been extensively ...

Dialects of the DNA uptake sequence in Neisseriaceae. [PDF]

PLoS Genetics, 2013
In all sexual organisms, adaptations exist that secure the safe reassortment of homologous alleles and prevent the intrusion of potentially hazardous alien DNA. Some bacteria engage in a simple form of sex known as transformation.

16S rRNA Amplicon sequencing demonstrates that indoor-reared bumblebees (Bombus terrestris) harbor a core subset of bacteria normally associated with the wild host [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
A MiSeq multiplexed 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing of the gut microbiota of wild and indoor-reared Bombus terrestris (bumblebees) confirmed the presence of a core set of bacteria, which consisted of Neisseriaceae (Snodgrassella), Orbaceae (Gilliamella ...

Season, Body Condition and Developmental Stage Influence the Gut Microbiota of the Sole Living Rhynchocephalian Reptile (<i>Sphenodon punctatus</i>). [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Seasonality plays a crucial role for many species, especially reptiles. We tested whether the tuatara, an endemic New Zealand reptile and the sole extant member of the order Rhynchocephalia, maintains a stable gut microbiota over 2 years of sampling across three seasons (summer, autumn and spring) or if the dominant bacterial community varies with ...

A Mendelian randomization analysis reveals the multifaceted role of the skin microbiota in liver cancer. [PDF]

Front Microbiol
BackgroundHepatocellular carcinoma (HCC, or hepatic cancer, HC) and cholangiocarcinoma (CCA, or hepatic bile duct cancer, HBDC) are two major types of primary liver cancer (PLC).

Microbial Dynamics: Assessing Skincare Regimens' Impact on the Facial Skin Microbiome and Skin Health Parameters. [PDF]

Microorganisms
The human skin microbiome, a complex ecosystem of microbes, plays a pivotal role in skin health. This study aimed to investigate the impact of two skincare regimens, with preservatives (CSPs) and preservative-free (PFPs), on the skin microbiome in ...
