Ecological implications of gene regulation by TfoX and TfoY among diverse Vibrio species

Melanie Blokesch, Candice Stoudmann, Noémie Matthey, Lisa Christina Metzger, Esther Jeanne Collas

Bacteria of the genus Vibrio are common members of aquatic environments where they compete with other prokaryotes and defend themselves against grazing predators. A macromolecular protein complex called the type VI secretion system (T6SS) is used for both ...

Metabolomics of hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH) transformation: ratio of LinA to LinB determines metabolic fate of HCH isomers

Christof Holliger

Although the production and use of technical hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH) and lindane (the purified insecticidal isomer -HCH) are prohibited in most countries, residual concentrations still constitute an immense environmental burden. Many studies describe t ...

Hydroclimatology of dual-peak annual cholera incidence: Insights from a spatially explicit model

Andrea Rinaldo, Enrico Bertuzzo, Lorenzo Mari, Lorenzo Righetto, Marino Gatto

Cholera incidence in some regions of the Indian subcontinent may exhibit two annual peaks although the main environmental drivers that have been linked to the disease (e.g., sea surface temperature, zooplankton abundance, river discharge) peak once per yea ...

Colonization of the salivary glands of Naucoris cimicoides by Mycobacterium ulcerans requires host plasmatocytes and a macrolide toxin, mycolactone

Stewart Cole

Mycobacterium ulcerans was first identified as the causative agent of Buruli ulcer; this cutaneous tissue-destructive process represents the third most important mycobacterial disease in humans after tuberculosis and leprosy. More recently other life trait ...

Giant plasmid-encoded polyketide synthases produce the macrolide toxin of Mycobacterium ulcerans

Stewart Cole

Mycobacterium ulcerans (MU), an emerging human pathogen harbored by aquatic insects, is the causative agent of Buruli ulcer, a devastating skin disease rife throughout Central and West Africa. Mycolactone, an unusual macrolide with cytotoxic and immunosupp ...

Selective growth of mucolytic bacteria including Clostridium perfringens in a neonatal piglet model of total parenteral nutrition

Bart Deplancke

BACKGROUND: Compromised barrier function and intestinal inflammation are common complications of total parenteral nutrition (TPN). OBJECTIVE: We tested the hypothesis that the lack of enteral nutrients in TPN might select commensal or pathogenic bacteria t ...

Impact de l'exploitation des alpages sur la qualité des eaux

Agricultural fertiliser (farmyard manure), covers partially the nutrient elements demand of the vegetation cover. However, its application is difficult as regards the unknown concentration of fertilising elements contained and their biological availability ...

Conserved type VI secretion regulation in diverse Vibrio species by the regulatory proteins TfoX and TfoY

Melanie Blokesch, Candice Stoudmann, Noémie Matthey, Lisa Christina Metzger, Esther Jeanne Collas

Bacteria of the genus Vibrio are common members of aquatic environments where they compete with other prokaryotes and defend themselves against grazing predators. A macromolecular protein complex called the type VI secretion system (T6SS) is used for both ...
