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 ...
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 ...
Elucidating the in vivo targets of bacterial toxins.

Novel aspects of benzoate and crotonate metabolism by the strictly anaerobic bacterium Syntrophus aciditrophicus strain SB.
(2007)
Although enzyme activities and metabolites detected in S. aciditrophicus indicated that benzoate was degraded by the pathway found in Rhodopseudomonas palustris, proteomic data detected the gene products homologous to ...
Genes required for in situ sediment survival of Shewanella oneidensis MR-1.
(2005)
We determined the function of one sediment-survival gene, examining mexF in greater detail. The protein encoded by mexF shares high homology with MexF in pathogenic Pseudomonas where it has been shown to confer a multidrug ...
Respiration and energy metabolism of Escherichia coli in the intestine.
(2007)
Colonization of the gastrointestinal tract by Escherichia coli is dependent upon its ability to compete with the commensal microflora. We have established that nutrient acquisition is important for competition and fitness ...
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 ...
Studies on the virulence mechanisms of Clostridium sordellii.

Abstract not available.
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 ...
Microbiology of water and wastewater: Discovery of a new genus numerically dominant in municipal wastewater and antimicrobial resistances in numerically dominant bacteria from Oklahoma lakes.
(2005)
Three bacterial isolates from municipal wastewater were investigated for their phenotypic, biochemical, and molecular characters. All strains were isolated from municipal wastewater, and the type strain, NRS1T, was isolated ...
