Influence of the surface topography of stainless steel on bacterial adhesion

Bacterial adhesion on stainless steel may cause problems such as microbially induced corrosion or represent a chronic source of microbial contamination. The investigation focussed on how the extent and patterns of four bacterial species comprising three di ...

Responses of Mycobacterium sp LB501T to the low bioavailability of solid anthracene

Several recent reports have indicated that some bacteria may have adapted to the low bioavailability of hydrophobic environmental chemicals and that generalizations about the bioavailability of compounds such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) may ...

A memorial review of Jay Bailey's contribution in prokaryotic metabolic engineering

Vassily Hatzimanikatis

A review, with refs. When mentioning prokaryotic metabolic engineering, most people will immediately think of Jay Bailey. Jay's contribution to this fast-growing field is evident and familiar to many. Therefore, instead of a detailed tech. review, we attem ...

Modeling ozonation as pre-treatment step for the biological batch degradation of industrial wastewater containing 3-methyl-pyridine

Urs von Gunten

A combined chemical-biological treatment of industrial wastewater using ozonation as the first step of a Sequencing Batch Biofilm Reactor (SBBR) process, in which 3-methylpyridine (3MEP) was degraded as a model industrial pollutant, has been developed. The ...

New concepts for chemical processes. Efficient use of energy and raw materials

Albert Renken, Volker Höller

A review without refs. on new concepts for chem. processes such as non-stationary process control, microreactors, and structured packings. Glass fiber catalysts with modified and/or coated surfaces are presented with 2 reactor concepts: packed bubble colum ...

PEG-based hydrogels for blocking, presenting and receiving information in the control of wound healing

Jeffrey Alan Hubbell

A review with 6 refs. of the use of adherent polymer hydrogels to prevent attachment of platelets to artery walls. Adhesion peptides incorporated in these hydrogels may further inhibit thrombogenesis and addnl. promote reendothelialization. Hydrogels with ...

Expression and nuclear translocation of the rel/NF-kappa B-related morphogen dorsal during the immune response of Drosophila

Bruno Lemaitre

The rel/NF-kappa B-related morphogen dorsal is a maternally expressed gene which is involved in the control of the dorso-ventral axis during early embryogenesis of Drosophila. We show that this gene is also expressed in the fat body of larvae and adults of ...

Neighbor predation linked to natural competence fosters the transfer of large genomic regions in Vibrio cholerae

Melanie Blokesch, Nicolas Jean Philippe Guex, Christian Iseli, Sandrine Stutzmann, Candice Stoudmann, Noémie Matthey

Natural competence for transformation is a primary mode of horizontal gene transfer (HGT). Competent bacteria are able to absorb free DNA from their surroundings and exchange this DNA against pieces of their own genome when sufficiently homologous. And whi ...

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 ...
