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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Effects of murine natural killer cells on Cryptoccus neoformans /
(1985)
NK cells have Fc receptors on their surfaces, and are capable of antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) against IgG-coated target cells. We examined the effects of the IgG fraction of rabbit anti-cryptococcal ...
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 ...
Thermoactinomyces candidus :

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 ...
Elucidating the in vivo targets of bacterial toxins.
(2007)
Abstract not available.
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 ...
