Characterization of Putative RpoS-regulated Outermembrane Proteins Slp and OmpX in Escherichia coli 0157:H7
(2012)
E. coli 0157:H7 is a food pathogen with exceptional tolerance to certain stressful growth conditions. RpoS is a master regulator for bacterial stress adaptation and in particular, for acid resistance genes. The role of ...
Bacterial Community Spatial and Temporal Variation in a North Temperate Bog Lake
(2012)
Bog lakes such as Mary Lake in northern Wisconsin are ideal systems to investigate microbial communities due to easily identified spatial boundaries and well characterized seasonal ecosystem dynamics. Multiple factors are ...
Genetic studies of the velC gene required for proper sexual development in Aspergillus nidulans
(2010)
VelC is required for the proper fungal development in Aspergillus nidulans.
Velvet proteins, VeA, VosA, VelB, and VelC, are a new protein family in many filamentous fungi. They regulate fungal development and secondary ...
Protein-DNA interactions involved in the initiation of DNA replication
(2007)
DNA synthesis is a complex process that is regulated at the stage of initiation of DNA replication. In bacteria, replication initiation occurs at the origin of replication (ori), where multiple molecular interactions occur. ...
Starvation responses of invasive and non-invasive Eurytemora affinis populations
(2007)
Within the past century, the copepod Eurytemora affinis have invaded freshwater from saline sources throughout the Northern Hemisphere. Two genetically divergent clades (Atlantic and North Atlantic) of E. affinis coexist ...
Overexpression of the rnf operon of Rhodobacter sphaeroides to increase hydrogen production
(2013)
Hydrogen has the potential to be a renewable fuel when produced by photosynthetic bacteria. Rhodobacter sphaeroides can produce hydrogen via the nitrogenase enzyme. In this research, several methods are used to attempt to ...
Function of a Nematode Intestine Localization Protein in Nematode Colonizing Xenorhabdus nematophila
(2012)
The bacterium Xenorhabdlus nematophila forms a mutualistic relationship with a
nematode Steinernema carpocapsae. This association is species specific; S. carpocapsae can only be colonized by X. nematophila, and not by ...
