TransFLP - A Method to Genetically Modify Vibrio cholerae Based on Natural Transformation and FLP-recombination

Melanie Blokesch

Several methods are available to manipulate bacterial chromosomes(1-3). Most of these protocols rely on the insertion of conditionally replicative plasmids (e.g. harboring pir-dependent or temperature-sensitive replicons(1,2)). These plasmids are integrate ...

Bootstrapping phylogenies inferred from rearrangement data

Bernard Moret, Yu Lin, Vaibhav Rajan

Background: Large-scale sequencing of genomes has enabled the inference of phylogenies based on the evolution of genomic architecture, under such events as rearrangements, duplications, and losses. Many evolutionary models and associated algorithms have be ...

BioMed Central2012

The rapid accumulation of sequenced genomes offers the chance to resolve longstanding questions about the evolutionary histories, or phylogenies, of groups of organisms. The relatively rare occurrence of large-scale evolutionary events in a whole genome, e ...

An entomopathogenic, Gram-negative bacterium isolated from a female specimen of the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster was taxonomically characterised. Strain L48(T) was strictly aerobic, non-fermentative, oxidase and catalase positive, rod-shaped, and moti ...

Drosophila immunity: analysis of PGRP-SB1 expression, enzymatic activity and function

Bruno Lemaitre, Juan Camilo Paredes Escobar, David Welchman

Peptidoglycan is an essential and specific component of the bacterial cell wall and therefore is an ideal recognition signature for the immune system. Peptidoglycan recognition proteins (PGRPs) are conserved from insects to mammals and able to bind PGN (no ...

Synthesis, characterization and anticancer studies of mixed ligand dithiocarbamate palladium(II) complexes

Christine Neuhausen, Zia Ur Rehman

Six mixed ligand dithiocarbamate Pd(II) complexes (1-6) of general formula [(DT)Pd(PR3)Cl], where DT = dimethyldithiocarbamate (1, 5), diethyldithiocarbamate (2, 3), dicyclohexyldithiocarbamate (4), bis(2-methoxyethyl)dithiocarbamate (6); PR3 = benzyldiphe ...

Fast and accurate phylogenetic reconstruction from high-resolution whole-genome data and a novel robustness estimator

Bernard Moret, Yu Lin, Vaibhav Rajan

The rapid accumulation of whole-genome data has renewed interest in the study of genomic rearrangements. Comparative genomics, evolutionary biology, and cancer research all require models and algorithms to elucidate the mechanisms, history, and consequence ...

Non-uraninite products of microbial U(VI) reduction

Rizlan Bernier-Latmani, Elena Suvorova Buffat, Harish Veeramani, Jonathan Sharp, Elena Cristina Dalla Vecchia, Nicholas Wigginton

A promising remediation approach to mitigate subsurface uranium contamination is the stimulation of indigenous bacteria to reduce mobile U(VI) to sparingly soluble U(IV). The product of microbial uranium reduction is often reported as the mineral uraninite ...
