Characterization of the Copper Starvation Response in the pMMO-Obligate Methanotrophic Bacterium Methylomicrobium album strain BG8
DownloadSpring 2024
Studies on copper as a critical nutrient in methane-oxidizing bacteria (MOB) have mostly focused on the well-characterized “copper switch” in species with dual methane monooxygenase (MMO) variants (Takeguchi & Okura, 2000, Knapp et al., 2007, Kenney et al., 2016). Copper availability dictates...

The gram negative bacterial cell envelope is composed of the outer membrane, the periplasm and the inner membrane. These compartments are exposed directly to changes in the environment that are sensed and adapted to through different signaling transduction pathways. This often occurs through...

Characterization of the gene cluster encoding a non-ribosomal peptide synthetase for polymyxin biosynthesis in Paenibacillus polymyxa PKB1
DownloadSpring 2011
Polymyxins are cationic lipopeptide antibiotics, and are considered to be drugs of last resort to fight against multidrug resistant Gram negative bacteria. In this study the gene cluster encoding the non-ribosomal peptide synthetase which catalyses polymyxin biosynthesis was identified and...

In differentiating cells, genes are silenced or transcribed through changes in chromatin organization. Active chromatin is known as euchromatin and repressive chromatin is known as heterochromatin. These active or repressive states are initiated and maintained by modifying residues of the core...

Characterization of the Type VI Secretion System in the Bacterial Pathogen Acinetobacter baumannii
DownloadFall 2016
Antibiotic resistant bacteria that cause hospital-acquired infections are a mounting concern for healthcare systems globally. Multidrug resistant (MDR) Acinetobacter baumannii has emerged as a common cause of nosocomial infections, and some isolates are now pandrug resistant. These infections can...
