Systems biology analysis of temporal in vivo Brucella melitensis and bovine transcriptomes predicts host:pathogen protein-protein interactions
(Frontiers Media, 2017-07-27)
To date, fewer than 200 gene-products have been identified as Brucella virulence factors, and most were characterized individually without considering how they are temporally and coordinately expressed or secreted during ...
Effects of capsule on surface diffuse reflectance spectroscopy of the subcapsular parenchyma of a solid organ
(SPIE, the international society for optics and photonics, 2018-07-27)
We hypothesize that the capsular optical properties and thickness combined affect how accurate the diffuse reflectance on the surface of a capsular solid organ represents that on the subcapsular parenchyma. Monte Carlo ...

Effects of biomass feedstocks and gasification conditions on the physiochemical properties of char
(MDPI, 2013-08-06)
Char is a low-value byproduct of biomass gasification and pyrolysis with many potential applications, such as soil amendment and the synthesis of activated carbon and carbon-based catalysts. Considering these high-value ...
Characterization of recombinant B. abortus strain RB51SOD toward understanding the uncorrelated innate and adaptive immune responses induced by RB51SOD compared to its parent vaccine strain RB51
(Frontiers Media, 2011-11-25)
Brucella abortus is a Gram-negative, facultative intracellular pathogen for several mammals, including humans. Live attenuated B. abortus strain RB51 is currently the official vaccine used against bovine brucellosis in the ...
Genome of the anaerobic fungus Orpinomyces sp. strain C1A reveals the unique evolutionary history of a remarkable plant biomass degrader
(American Society for Microbiology, 2013-08)
Anaerobic gut fungi represent a distinct early-branching fungal phylum (Neocallimastigomycota) and reside in the rumen, hindgut, and feces of ruminant and nonruminant herbivores. The genome of an anaerobic fungal isolate, ...
Host distribution does not limit the range of the tick Ixodes ricinus but impacts the circulation of transmitted pathogens
(Frontiers Media, 2017-10-11)
Ticks, pathogens, and vertebrates interact in a background of environmental features that regulate the densities of ticks and vertebrates, affecting their contact rates and thence the circulation of the pathogens. Regional ...
Hydrogen sulfide, bacteria, and fish: a unique, subterranean food chain
(Ecological Society of America, 2011)
Photoautotrophs are generally considered to be the base of food webs, and habitats that lack light, such as caves, frequently rely on surface-derived carbon. Here we show, based on analysis of gut contents and stable isotope ...
