Relationship between antibiotic- and disinfectant-resistance profiles in bacteria harvested from tap water [PDF]

, 2016
Chlorination is commonly used to control levels of bacteria in drinking water; however, viable bacteria may remain due to chlorine resistance. What may be concerning is that surviving bacteria, due to co-selection factors, may also have increased ...

Genome-based reclassification of Paenibacillus dauci as a later heterotypic synonym of Paenibacillus shenyangensis

International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology, 2019
Paenibacillus shenyangensis and Paenibacillus dauci are Gram-stain-positive, rod-shaped and endospore-forming bacteria originally isolated from soil and carrot samples, respectively, in China. Preliminary comparative genomic analysis showed that these bacteria could constitute a single species.

Characterization of Hexenuronosyl Xylan-degrading Enzymes Produced by Paenibacillus sp. 07

BioResources, 2016
The enzyme involved in hexenuronic acid (HexA) removal from kraft pulp was identified in Paenibacillus sp. strain 07. Extracellular and intracellular enzymes of Paenibacillus sp. were assessed for their hexenuronosyl-xylotriose (∆X3) degradation activity.

Examination of a culturable microbial population from the gastrointestinal tract of the wood-eating loricariid catfish Panaque nigrolineatus [PDF]

, 2013
Fish play a critical role in nutrient cycling and organic matter flow in aquatic environments. However, little is known about the microbial diversity within the gastrointestinal tracts that may be essential in these degradation activities.

Twitching Motility of Bacteria with Type IV Pili: Fractal Walks, First passage time and their Consequences on Microcolonies

, 2017
A human pathogen, \textit{Neisseria gonorrhoeae} (NG), moves on surfaces by attaching and retracting polymeric structures called Type IV pili. The \textit{tug-of-war} between the pili results in a two-dimensional stochastic motion called \textit ...
