The endogenous Coxiella burnetii plasmid encodes a functional toxin–antitoxin system
Molecular Microbiology, Volume 118, Issue 6, Page 744-764, December 2022., 2022 Coxiella burnetii is an obligate intracellular bacterium and causative agent of Q fever. Here we report that the C. burnetii genome encodes 11 toxin–antitoxin systems, which is highly unusual for intracellular bacteria, and that one TA system is encoded on the large endogenous plasmid found in almost all C. burnetii isolates.

Transmission of Klebsiella strains and plasmids within and between grey‐headed flying fox colonies
Environmental Microbiology, Volume 24, Issue 9, Page 4425-4436, September 2022., 2022 Summary The grey‐headed flying fox (Pteropus poliocephalus) is an endemic Australian fruit bat, known to carry zoonotic pathogens. We recently showed they harbour bacterial pathogen Klebsiella pneumoniae and closely related species in the K. pneumoniae species complex (KpSC); however, the dynamics of KpSC transmission and gene flow within flying fox ...

Asians and cash dividends: Exploiting symmetries in pricing theory [PDF]
, 2000 In this article we present new results for the pricing of arithmetic Asian options within a Black-Scholes context. To derive these results we make extensive use of the local scale invariance that exists in the theory of contingent claim pricing.

Scientific Programming, Volume 2022, Issue 1, 2022., 2022 In the era of big data, the furniture manufacturing industry takes digitization and intelligence as its core, and its servitization degree is constantly improving. In this paper, based on input‐output table data from major manufacturing countries throughout the world in the period 2000–2014, this study empirically analyzes the impact of servitization ...

Identification of a VapBC toxin–antitoxin system in a thermophilic bacterium Thermus thermophilus HB27 [PDF]
, 2017 There are 12 putative toxin–antitoxin (TA) loci in the Thermus thermophilus HB27 genome, including four VapBC and three HicBA families. Expression of these seven putative toxin genes in Escherichia coli demonstrated that one putative VapC toxin TTC0125 ...

Why tRNA acquisition could be relevant to bacteriophages? [PDF]
Microb BiotechnolWe highlight the role and advantages of tRNA genes in phages, and a perspective about the use of phages with tRNA genes in biotechnological applications to contribute to new perspectives among the scientific community. Abstract In this opinion, we discuss the role of tRNAs in phage biology and their importance in DNA replication and phage‐host ...

Keeping the Wolves at Bay: Antitoxins of Prokaryotic Type II Toxin-Antitoxin Systems [PDF]
, 2016 In their initial stages of discovery, prokaryotic toxin-antitoxin (TA) systems were confined to bacterial plasmids where they function to mediate the maintenance and stability of usually low- to medium-copy number plasmids through the post-segregational ...

Brain and Behavior, Volume 10, Issue 10, October 2020., 2020 Our purpose was to find a link between thalamocortical connectivity measures at term equivalent age and two‐year neurodevelopmental outcome in 58 infants following preterm birth. Using probabilistic diffusion tractography, we found that injury or dysmaturation of tracts emerging from ventral‐specific and various nonspecific thalamus projecting to late ...

A Conviviality Measure for Early Requirement Phase [PDF]
, 2009 In this paper, we consider the design of convivial multi-agent systems. Conviviality has recently been proposed as a social concept to develop multi-agent systems.
