Inclusion of seasonal variation in river system microbial communities and phototroph activity increases environmental relevance of laboratory chemical persistence tests [PDF]
Regulatory tests assess crop protection product environmental fate and toxicity before approval for commercial use. Although globally applied laboratory tests can assess biodegradation, they lack environmental complexity.

Transformation of Bacterial Types.
In previous papers the isolation and description of numerous variant forms of Micrococcus tetragenus was reported.1 It was at first believed that these interchangeable variants composed a complex system of bacterial variation different from the orderly one associated with other bacteria.

Transformation of isolated mammalian mitochondria by bacterial conjugation [PDF]
We have developed a method for transferring exogenous DNA molecules into isolated mammalian mitochondria using bacterial conjugation. In general, we accomplish this by (i) inserting an origin of DNA transfer (oriT) sequence into a DNA construct, (ii) transforming the construct into an appropriate Escherichia coli strain and then (iii) introducing the ...

The induction of natural competence adapts staphylococcal metabolism to infection
Orthologs of natural competence genes are conserved in non-competent bacterial species, suggesting they have a role other than in transformation. Here, the authors show that competence induction in Staphylococcus aureus occurs in response to reactive ...

Crosstalk between gut microbiota and tumor: tumors could cause gut dysbiosis and metabolic imbalance
In this research, we analyzed the relationship between gut microbiota and tumor. We discovered that both subcutaneous and metastatic tumors would alter the composition and metabolic function of gut microbiota. Meanwhile, fecal microbiota transplantation also indicated the anti‐tumor role of the gut microbiota, revealing the crosstalk between tumor and ...

Copepods controlling bacterial communities on fecal pellets [PDF]
The traditional view of the marine food web depicts bacteria and copepods (mainly planktonic species) as separate units, indirectly connected via nutrient cycling and trophic cascade processes.

The maintenance of sex in bacteria is ensured by its potential to reload genes
Why sex is maintained in nature is a fundamental question in biology. Natural genetic transformation (NGT) is a sexual process by which bacteria actively take up exogenous DNA and use it to replace homologous chromosomal sequences.

Interactions of Bacillus Mojavensis and Fusarium Verticillioides With a Benzoxazolinone (Boa) and Its Transformation Product, Apo [PDF]
En:Journal of Chemical Ecology (2007, vol. 33, n. 10, p. 1885-1897)The benzoxazolinones, specifically benzoxazolin-2(3H)-one (BOA), are important transformation products of the benzoxazinones that can serve as allelochemicals providing resistance to ...

Spontaneously Occurring Bacterial Transformations in Mice [PDF]
In 1963, it was reported that deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)-mediated transformations could take place spontaneously between genetically distinguishable pneumococci growing in a living host, the mouse. It was found in the present study that such transformations could be increased in frequency if infected animals were treated with a drug which kills only ...
