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 ...
Impact of physiological state and macro-nutrient ratio on microbial surface thermodynamics and transport.
(2002)
As both deposition and retardation occur during bacterial transport, the deposition coefficient and retardation factor have been widely used individually in describing the transport of bacteria through porous media. Rijnaarts ...
Mechanism of cellular intoxication by large clostridial toxins.
(2002)
Clostridium sordellii lethal toxin (TcsL) is a large clostridial toxin (LCT) that glucosylates Ras, Rac and Ral. In chapter II, using a suite of inhibitors, steps in cell entry by TcsL were dissected and entry appears to ...
The reduction of uranium by sulfate-reducing bacteria in the terrestrial subsurface and a pure culture bacterium.
(2002)
The microbial reduction of uranium was investigated in a contaminated aquifer and with a pure culture model organism, Desulfovibrio vulgaris Hildenborough. The concentrations of Fe(III), U(VI), nitrate and sulfate were ...
Cytosolic delivery of mutant forms of toxin B from Clostridium difficile facilitates characterization of the intracellular activities of large clostridal toxins.
(2002)
Clostridia are gram-positive spore-forming organisms responsible for a variety of diseases in both humans and animals Three species of Clostridia- Clostridium difficile, Clostridium sordellii and Clostridium novyi- produce ...
