Using ChatGPT as a tool for training nonprogrammers to generate genomic sequence analysis code
Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, EarlyView.Abstract Today, due to the size of many genomes and the increasingly large sizes of sequencing files, independently analyzing sequencing data is largely impossible for a biologist with little to no programming expertise. As such, biologists are typically faced with the dilemma of either having to spend a significant amount of time and effort to learn ...

Well-temperate phage: optimal bet-hedging against local environmental collapses [PDF]
Scientific Reports 5, Article number: 10523 (2015), 2013 Upon infection of their bacterial hosts temperate phages must chose between lysogenic and lytic developmental strategies. Here we apply the game-theoretic bet-hedging strategy introduced by Kelly to derive the optimal lysogenic fraction of the total population of phages as a function of frequency and intensity of environmental downturns affecting the ...

Genome Sequence of Salmonella enterica Phage Det7
Genome Announcements, 2015 ABSTRACT Det7 is a Myoviridae bacteriophage that gains entry into its Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium host cells by adsorbing to O-antigen polysaccharide. We report here the complete 157,498-bp sequence of its genome.

Chemistry &Biodiversity, EarlyView.The chemical composition and the in vitro synergistic antimicrobial effects of four Satureja essential oils were investigated. Essential oils from Satureja montana and S. hortensis displayed strong antimicrobial effects, whereas S. calamintha and S. alpina exhibited relatively weaker antimicrobial activity.

A Carbon Nanotube Immunosensor for Salmonella [PDF]
, 2013 Antibody-functionalized carbon nanotube devices have been suggested for use as bacterial detectors for monitoring of food purity in transit from the farm to the kitchen. Here we report progress towards that goal by demonstrating specific detection of Salmonella in complex nutrient broth solutions using nanotube transistors functionalized with ...

Recombinational circularization of Salmonella phage P22 DNA [PDF]
Virology, 1977 The development of phage P22 following infection involves a mandatory recombination step, the timing of which is the same in both the lytic and lysogenic pathways. Covalently circular molecules of phage DNA were identified by alkaline sucrose sedimentation of infected cell lysates.

Promising Prodiginins Biological Activities
Chemistry &Biodiversity, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Prodiginins are a large family of at least 34 pyrrolic compounds, including the well‐studied red pigment prodigiosin. Prodiginins are produced by several microorganisms displaying broad biological activities, including antimicrobial, antiviral, antiparasitic, antiproliferative, and immunosuppressive activities.

Occurrence of Salmonella-Specific Bacteriophages in Swine Feces Collected from Commercial Farms [PDF]
, 2010 Salmonella is one of the leading causes of human foodborne illness and is associated with swine production. Bacteriophages are naturally occurring viruses that prey on bacteria and have been suggested as a potential intervention strategy to reduce ...
