Melim, Leslie A., Northup. Diana E., Spilde, Michael N., Jones, Brian, Boston, Penelope J., Bixby, Rebecca J.
We report on a reticulated filament found in modern and fossil cave samples that cannot be correlated to any known microorganism or organism part. These filaments were found in moist environments in five limestone caves (four in New Mexico, U.S.A., one in Tabasco, Mexico), and a basalt lava tube...

A bacterial colony constitutes a complex microcosm which is equipped with a wide range of defensive adaptations that allow the colony to survive adverse environmental conditions and predation. The extreme resilience of bacteria in colonies has been a subject of continued research for nearly two...

Rumen microbial community composition varies with diet and host, but a core microbiome is found across a wide geographical range

Cox, Faith, Janssen, Peter H., Henderson, Gemma, Jonker, Arjan, Young, Wayne, Ganesh, Siva
Ruminant livestock are important sources of human food and global greenhouse gas emissions. Feed degradation and methane formation by ruminants rely on metabolic interactions between rumen microbes and affect ruminant productivity. Rumen and camelid foregut microbial community composition was...

Infectious respiratory diseases, caused by viruses and bacteria that attack the respiratory system, constitute a serious threat in public health around the world. Pathogens can be transmitted in the air though large droplets or aerosols. As aerosols can linger in the environment for a prolonged...

Small intestine early innate immunity response during intestinal colonization by Escherichia coli depends on its extra-intestinal virulence status

Denamur, Erick, Tourret, Jérôme, Dion, Sara, Willing, Benjamin P., Wachtel, Sarah, Finlay, B. Brett, Dufour, Nicolas, Croxen, Matthew A.
Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) strains live as commensals in the digestive tract of the host, but they can also initiate urinary tract infections. The aim of this work was to determine how a host detects the presence of a new UPEC strain in the digestive tract. Mice were orally challenged...

The inactivation fluence of a target wastewater plant in Alberta, Canada was determined in the laboratory and was found to be close to that reported by the target wastewater plant. The effect of inactivation fluence, effective reactivation fluence, temperature, and river water on the percent...

Bacterial conjugation is the process of plasmid DNA transfer from a donor cell to a recipient cell. This process is mediated in F-like plasmids by proteins expressed by the tra operon. The relaxosome forms at oriT (origin of transfer), where the nicking and unwinding of a single-stranded copy of...

Zhang, Qiang, Serpe, Michael J.
A novel diblock copolymer composed of bisphosphonate and pyridine oligomers has been prepared by reversible addition–fragmentation transfer (RAFT) polymerization. Ag ion was introduced into the polymer via its coordination with the pyridine groups, followed by a reduction process to obtain Ag...

Taxonomic assessment of rumen microbiota using total RNA and targeted amplicon sequencing approaches
Download2016
Janssen, Peter H., Li, Fuyong, Sun, Xu, Cox, Faith, Guan, Leluo, Henderson, Gemma
Taxonomic characterization of active gastrointestinal microbiota is essential to detect shifts in microbial communities and functions under various conditions. This study aimed to identify and quantify potentially active rumen microbiota using total RNA sequencing and to compare the outcomes of...
