Functional genomic analysis of Haemophilus influenzae and application to the study of competence and transformation.
(2004)
During the progression of this study, hundreds of additional bacterial genomes were sequenced, techniques have evolved, and novel approaches were developed to aid the field of functional and comparative genomics. Some of ...
Sequence and analysis of Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans.
(2002)
A. actinomycetemcomitans is a Gram negative coccobacillus, facultative anaerobe that is implicated in the persistence of peridontitis, the destruction of the gum tissues and loss of teeth (Fives-Taylor et al, 1999). In an ...
An Assessment of Microbial Communities and Their Potential Activities Associated with Oil Producing Environments
(2015-06)
Microbial populations have been found in oil-associated environments as early as the 1920s. The proliferation and metabolic activities of these microorganisms can have profound deleterious effects on the infrastructure ...
Bacillus lipopeptide biosurfactants: Purification, structure-activity relationship, and in-situ production in oil reservoirs.
(2006)
Alternatively, biosurfactant activity can be manipulated by formulation of biosurfactant mixtures with different properties. The efficacy of biosurfactants from individual strains, and mixtures of biosurfactants from ...
The microbial conversion of synthesis gas to ethanol: Characterization and optimization.
(2005)
By screening 310 enrichments from 37 different sources of inocula (e.g., sediments, lagoons, compost, silage, and animal feces), seven potential microbial candidates (strain P7, P11, P14, P20, P21, MU1 and SK1) were isolated ...
Sequencing of Multiple Clostridial Genomes Related to Biomass Conversion and Biofuel Production
(2010-12)
Modern methods to develop microbe-based biomass conversion processes require a system-level understanding of the microbes involved. Clostridium species have long been recognized as ideal candidates for processes involving ...
Low-molecular-weight branched polyethylenimines: Multifunctional beta-lactam potentiators against resistant Gram-negative pathogens
(2022-05-13)
Antibiotic resistance is a simmering threat to the global public health system. Currently, it is estimated by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that at least 2.8 million people in the US get infected with ...
Description of Kingella potus sp. nov., an Organism Isolated from a Wound Caused by an Animal Bite
(2005-07)
We report the isolation and characterization of a hitherto unknown gram-negative, rod-shaped Neisseria-like organism from an infected wound resulting from a bite from a kinkajou. Based on both phenotypic and phylogenetic ...
METAGENOMIC INSIGHTS INTO MICROBIAL COMMUNITY RESPONSES TO LONG-TERM ELEVATED CO2
(2014)
Understanding how belowground microbial communities respond to increasing atmospheric CO2 is of crucial importance for global change biology, microbial ecology and predictive biology. However, our understanding of CO2 ...
