High-resolution imaging and analysis of the intestinal bacterial load of Caenorhabditis elegans during early adulthood
Martinus Gijs, Farzad Rezaeianaran
We study the presence within the worm Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans) of a fluorescent strain of the worm's bacterial food (Escherichia coli (E. coli) OP50) during early adulthood. Use of a microfluidic chip based on a thin glass coverslip substrate al ...
ROYAL SOC CHEMISTRY2023Mechanism ofcyclic beta-glucan export by ABC transporter Cgt of Brucella
Henning Paul-Julius Stahlberg, Dongchun Ni, Na Wu
Polysaccharides play critical roles in bacteria, including the formation of protective capsules and biofilms and establishing specific host cell interactions. Their transport across membranes is often mediated by ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters, wh ...
NATURE PORTFOLIO2022The molecular treasure box of environmental Vibrio cholerae strains
Cholera pandemics have been affecting humankind for centuries and are still considered a major public health problem, especially in regions around the world with poor access to clean water and sanitation. Cholera pandemics are caused by a specific lineage ...
EPFL2021Harnessing the Membrane Translocation Properties of AB Toxins for Therapeutic Applications
Françoise Gisou van der Goot Grunberg
Over the last few decades, proteins and peptides have become increasingly more common as FDA-approved drugs, despite their inefficient delivery due to their inability to cross the plasma membrane. In this context, bacterial two-component systems, termed AB ...
2021Comparison of chitin‐induced natural transformation in pandemic Vibrio cholerae O1 El Tor strains
Melanie Blokesch, Sandrine Stutzmann
The human pathogen Vibrio cholerae serves as a model organism for many important processes ranging from pathogenesis to natural transformation, which has been extensively studied in this bacterium. Previous work has deciphered important regulatory circuits ...
2020Intracellular bacteria engage a STING-TBK1-MVB12b pathway to enable paracrine cGAS-STING signalling
Andrea Ablasser, Bing Zhang, Alix Martin, Ensieh Farahani
The innate immune system is crucial for eventual control of infections, but may also contribute to pathology. Listeria monocytogenes is an intracellular Gram-positive bacteria and a major cause of food-borne disease. However, important knowledge on the int ...
NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP2019Characterization of Efficiency and Mechanisms of Cold Atmospheric Pressure Plasma Decontamination of Seeds for Sprout Production
The consumption of fresh fruit and vegetable products has strongly increased during the past few decades. However, inherent to all minimally processed products is the short shelf life, and the risk of foodborne diseases, which have been increasingly relate ...
