This study intends to assess the cultivability of photo-treated Escherichia coil K-12 on media With different selectivity (PCA, LBA, T-7, T-7 + TTC, VRBA and MAC) and to establish optimal conditions for bacterial recuperation. For these purposes, immediate ...
Microorganisms aggregated into matrix-enclosed biofilms dominate microbial life in most natural, engineered, and medical systems. Despite this, the ecological adaptations and metabolic trade-offs of the formation of complex biofilms are currently poorly un ...
MmpL3 is an inner membrane transporter of Mycobacterium tuberculosis responsible for the export of trehalose momomycolate, a precursor of the mycobacterial outer membrane component trehalose dimycolate (TDM), as well as mycolic acids bound to arabinogalact ...
In principle, a major goal in drug development is to design a high-affinity compound with an appropriate pharmacological response, which requires understanding of physical processes underlying the drug-target interaction, affinity and specificity. This dru ...
Type IV pili (TFP) function as mechanosensors to trigger acute virulence programs in Pseudomonas aeruginosa. On surface contact, TFP retraction activates the Chp chemosensory system phosphorelay to upregulate 3', 5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP) production a ...
Although polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) production was brought to a halt 30 years ago, recalcitrance to degradation makes them a major environmental pollutant at a global scale. Previous studies confirmed that organohalide-respiring bacteria (OHRB) were ...
