Collective behavior in spatially structured groups, or biofilms, is the norm among microbes in their natural environments. Though biofilm formation has been studied for decades, tracing the mechanistic and ecological links between individual cell morpholog ...
Vibrio is a genus of ubiquitous heterotrophic bacteria found in aquatic environments. Although they are a small percentage of the bacteria in these environments, vibrios can predominate during blooms. Vibrios also play important roles in the degradation of ...
During infection, microbial pathogens encounter phagocytic cells of the host innate immune system, such as macrophages and neutrophils. These encounters typically lead to uptake and killing of the bacteria by the host cell or, conversely, parasitization of ...
Animal-microbe symbioses are fundamental to animal physiology but how and where bacteria interact with their host, remain largely elusive. The mutualistic association between the Hawaiian bobtail squid, Euprymna scolopes and its luminous bacterium Vibrio f ...
The human pathogen Vibrio cholerae exhibits two distinct lifestyles: one in the aquatic environment where it often associates with chitinous surfaces and the other as the causative agent of the disease cholera. While much of the research on V. cholerae has ...
Infectious diseases are among the leading causes of human morbidity and mortality, with the greatest burden felt in the pediatric population. For any infectious disease, only a fraction of the exposed individuals develop clinical symptoms. These inter-indi ...
The human pathogen Vibrio cholerae is an autochthonous inhabitant of aquatic environments where it often interacts with zooplankton and their chitinous molts. Chitin induces natural competence for transformation in V. cholerae, a key mode of horizontal gen ...
We present an outline of the field of Multilevel Design Understanding by first defining and motivating the related problems, and then describing the key issues which must be addressed in future research. ...
Adhesion to host tissue is one of the key steps of the bacterial pathogenic process. Xanthomonas citri ssp. citri possesses a non-fimbrial adhesin protein, XacFhaB, required for bacterial attachment, which we have previously demonstrated to be an important ...
Animal-microbe symbioses are fundamental to animal physiology but the precise nature of molecular exchange between partners remains largely elusive. The mutualistic association between the Hawaiian bobtail squid, Euprymna scolopes and its luminous bacteriu ...
