280 Birds with One Stone: Inducing Multilingual Taxonomies from Wikipedia using Character-level Classification

Karl Aberer, Rémi Philippe Lebret, Hamza Harkous, Amit Gupta

We propose a novel fully-automated approach towards inducing multilingual taxonomies from Wikipedia. Given an English taxonomy, our approach first leverages the interlanguage links of Wikipedia to automatically construct training datasets for the is-a rela ...

Interbacterial predation as a strategy for DNA acquisition in naturally competent bacteria

Melanie Blokesch

Natural competence enables bacteria to take up exogenous DNA. The evolutionary function of natural competence remains controversial, as imported DNA can act as a source of substrates or can be integrated into the genome. Exogenous homologous DNA can also b ...

Ecological strategies and metabolic trade-offs of complex environmental biofilms

Tom Ian Battin, Hannes Markus Peter

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 ...

Bacterial Whole Cell Typing by Mass Spectra Pattern Matching with Bootstrapping Assessment

Hubert Girault, Liang Qiao, Yu Lin

Bacterial typing is of great importance in clinical diagnosis, environmental monitoring, food safety analysis, and biological research. Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS) is now widely used to analyze bacterial samples ...

Nanotools and molecular techniques to rapidly identify and fight bacterial infections

Sandor Kasas, Giovanni Longo

Reducing the emergence and spread of antibiotic-resistant bacteria is one of the major healthcare issues of our century. In addition to the increased mortality, infections caused by multi-resistant bacteria drastically enhance the healthcare costs, mainly ...

Genetic Determinism vs. Phenotypic Plasticity in Protist Morphology

Edward Mitchell, Mariusz Lamentowicz, Bjorn Jozef Maria Robroek, Enrique Lara

Untangling the relationships between morphology and phylogeny is key to building a reliable taxonomy, but is especially challenging for protists, where the existence of cryptic or pseudocryptic species makes finding relevant discriminant traits difficult. ...

Reduction of Abeta amyloid pathology in APPPS1 transgenic mice in the absence of gut microbiota

Theo Lasser, Tristan Bolmont, Taoufiq Harach, Nicolas Jean Marc Antoine Duthilleul

Alzheimer’s disease is the most common form of dementia in the western world, however there is no cure available for this devastating neurodegenerative disorder. Despite clinical and experimental evidence implicating the intestinal microbiota in a number o ...

Essentiality of mmpL3 and impact of its silencing on Mycobacterium tuberculosis gene expression

Stewart Cole, Andrej Benjak

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 ...
