Biogeography of microbial bile acid transformations along the murine gut

Rizlan Bernier-Latmani, Laure Menin, Solenne Anne Marie Marion, Lyne Desharnais

Bile acids, which are synthesized from cholesterol by the liver, are chemically transformed along the intestinal tract by the gut microbiota, and the products of these transformations signal through host receptors, affecting overall host health. These tran ...

Wastewater and green waste biorefinery Degradation of simple sugars using mixed cultures of purple non-sulfur bacteria: an insight into microbial interactions

Guillaume Crosset-Perrotin

Purple non-sulfur bacteria (PNSB) are phototrophic organisms that have raised interest for both industrial and domestic wastewater treatment and valorization because of their very high assimilation (~1 g CODX g-1 COD substrate) and valuable compounds produ ...

Tetracycline Antibiotics Impair Mitochondrial Function and Its Experimental Use Confounds Research

Johan Auwerx, Laurent Mouchiroud, Richardus Houtkooper

Tetracyclines, a class of antibiotics that target bacterial translation, are commonly used in research for inducible gene expression using Tet-ON/Tet-OFF systems. However, such tetracycline-inducible systems carry a risk. Given that mitochondria have a "ba ...

Clostridium perfringens urease genes are plasmid borne.

Stewart Cole

Although many bacteria are ureolytic, and in some cases urease acts as a virulence factor, the urease phenotype has not been analyzed in the anaerobic pathogen Clostridium perfringens. In this study, approximately 2% of C. perfringens strains, representing ...

Cloning, mapping, and molecular characterization of the rRNA operons of Clostridium perfringens

Stewart Cole

All 10 rRNA operons have been situated on the genome map of the anaerobic pathogen Clostridium perfringens. Four of these have been cloned and partially sequenced, and their transcriptional patterns in vivo and in vitro have been examined. Expression of rr ...
