AVERTISSEMENT : Le chatbot Graph n'est pas programmé pour fournir des réponses explicites ou catégoriques à vos questions. Il transforme plutôt vos questions en demandes API qui sont distribuées aux différents services informatiques officiellement administrés par l'EPFL. Son but est uniquement de collecter et de recommander des références pertinentes à des contenus que vous pouvez explorer pour vous aider à répondre à vos questions.
An extensive random mutagenesis study on the function of nine residues in the subunit binding site of FimC was conducted to evaluate the mol. mechanisms of subunit binding by FimC and the contribution of chaperone surface residues. Five plasmid libraries o ...

The mosaic-structured Vibrio cholerae genome points to the importance of horizontal gene transfer (HGT) in the evolution of this human pathogen. We showed that V. cholerae can acquire new genetic material by natural transformation during growth on chitin, ...

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 ...
Aerolysin is one of a large group of bacterial proteins that can kill target cells by forming discrete channels in their plasma membranes. The toxin has many properties in common with the porins of the Gram-negative bacterial outer membrane, including an e ...
The cloned ompA gene encoding the major outer membrane protein OmpA of Escherichia coli has been shortened in vitro by exonuclease digestion from the end corresponding to the CO2H terminus of the protein. Nine derivatives were identified which still posses ...
