Discovery, purification and characterization of antifungal proteins and other defense-related compounds from tropical plants.
(1999)
To date, we have screened 164 extracts from over 100 different plant species for antifungal activity against Fusarium chlamydosporum, a saprophytic/pathogenic fungus. Out of these 164 crude extracts, 111 had antifungal ...
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 ...
A study of the regulation of transcription in Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Escherichia coli.
(1999)
The focus of this work is to determine the molecular mechanisms involved in rRNA synthesis. More specifically, this research determined which component of the RNAP I transcription complex is involved in the down-regulation ...
Identification and characterization of Myxococcus xanthus mutants deficient in calcofluor white binding.
(1997)
In an attempt to further characterize the Cds phenotypes, it was found that SR171 (a Cds mutant) drastically reduced developmentally regulated tps gene expression similar to esg. Total fatty acid analysis revealed that ...
Studies on the regulation of developmental gene expression and polysaccharide production in Myxococcus xanthus.
(1997)
Fibrils, an extracellular appendage, are composed of polysaccharide and protein. Regulation of fibril production in M. xanthus was studied. In wild-type cells, fibril production was induced upon the stationary phase and ...
Purification, Mechanism, and Biochemical Interactions of the Essential Mycolic Acid Transporters MmpL3 from Mycobacterium tuberculosis, and CmpL1 from Corynebacterium glutamicum.
(2020-06)
The Corynebacterium – Mycobacterium – Nocardia family (CMN family) are a subset group of actinomycetes which are characterized as acid-fast, Gram-positive species. Many members of the CMN family are causative agents of ...
Purification, characterization and cDNA cloning of a trypsin inhibitor from Pentaclethra macroloba.
(1998)
The larval growth of the European corn borer, Ostrinia nubilalis , was reduced when grown on artificial diet containing either purified PmTI or PmSTI fusion protein expressed in E. coli. Likewise, high mortalities were ...
Cloning, characterization, expression and localization of inosine-5'-monophosphate dehydrogenase (IMPDH) cDNA/mRNA in soybean (Glycine max) nodules.
(2000)
The technique of in situ hybridization was used to localize the IMPDH mRNA in soybean nodules. Mature nodules were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde and 0.25% glutaraldehyde, dehydrated and embedded in Paraplast. Sections of ...
Cell-cell interactions in Myxococcus xanthus.
(2004)
Myxococcus xanthus, a Gram-negative, rod-shaped, nonpathogenic soil bacterium has been used as a model organism for many years for research on developmental behavior such as multicellular morphogenesis, signal transduction. ...
