Generation of a restriction minus enteropathogenic Escherichia coli E2348/69 strain that is efficiently transformed with large, low copy plasmids
Download2008
Raivio, T.L., Price, N.L., Ward, J.D., Hobson, N.
Background Many microbes possess restriction-modification systems that protect them from parasitic DNA molecules. Unfortunately, the presence of a restriction-modification system in a given microbe also hampers genetic analysis. Although plasmids can be successfully conjugated into the...

Atradidymella muscivora gen. et sp. nov. (Pleosporales) and its anamorph Phoma muscivora sp. nov.: A new pleomorphic pathogen of boreal bryophytes
Download2009
During a survey of bryophilous fungi from boreal and montane habitats, 12 isolates of a hitherto unknown plant pathogenic member of the Pleosporales were recovered from Aulacomnium palustre , Hylocomium splendens , and Polytrichum juniperinum , and described as Atradidymella muscivora gen. et sp....

Tsuneda, A., Davey, M.L., Currah, R.S.
Atradidymella muscivora (Pleosporales) is a bryophyte pathogen that infects the mosses Aulacomnium palustre , Hylocomium splendens , and Polytrichum juniperinum . Light and scanning electron microscopy and extracellular enzyme production were used to characterize the interactions between this...

Periodic solutions and bistability in a model for cytotoxic T-lymphocyte (CTL) response to human T-cell lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV-I)
DownloadFall 2009
HTLV-I is the first discovered human retrovirus and a causative agent of both adult T-cell leukemia (ATL) and HTLV-I-associated myelopathy (or tropical spastic paraparesis) (HAM/TSP). Previous models have been successful in providing insight into the progression of HTLV-I infection. The...

Human T-lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV-I) is a persistent human retrovirus characterized by life-long infection and risk of developing HAM/TSP, a progressive neurological and inflammatory disease. Despite extensive studies of HTLV-I, a complete understanding of the viral dynamics has been...

Coupling supercritical CO2 extraction with membrane separation leads to energy savings by recycling CO2 at supercritical state while separating extract components. Commercially available polyamide-based membranes are commonly used with coupled systems due to their availability and robust...

The contribution of two phosphorylated surface modifications on the pathogenesis of Campylobacter upsaliensis
DownloadFall 2012
Campylobacter upsaliensis is a human pathogen most commonly associated with self-limiting gastroenteritis. Despite extensive epidemiological data indicating C. upsaliensis as an emerging pathogen, few studies have examined possible mechanisms of its virulence. The surface of C. upsaliensis is...

The LmSNF1 gene is required for pathogenicity in the canola blackleg pathogen Leptosphaeria maculans
Download2014
Zhang, Hui, Strelkov, Stephen E., Feng, Jie, Hwang, Sheau-Fang
Leptosphaeria maculans is a fungal pathogen causing blackleg in canola. Its virulence has been attributed, among other factors, to the activity of hydrolytic cell wall degrading enzymes (CWDEs). Studies on the pathogenicity function of CWDEs in plant pathogenic fungi have been difficult due to...
