Nutritional Basis for Colonization Resistance by Human Commensal Escherichia coli Strains HS and Nissle 1917 against E. coli O157:H7 in the Mouse Intestine
(PLos One, 2013-01-17)
Escherichia coli is a single species consisting of many biotypes, some of which are commensal colonizers of mammals and others that cause disease. Humans are colonized on average with five commensal biotypes, and it is ...
Self-Renewal and Differentiation Capacity of Urine-Derived Stem Cells after Urine Preservation for 24 Hours
(PLos One, 2013-01-18)
Despite successful approaches to preserve organs, tissues, and isolated cells, the maintenance of stem cell viability and function in body fluids during storage for cell distribution and transportation remains unexplored. ...

(2013-10)
The purpose of this study was to identify motivational gaps and design to optimize for motivational needs in a current university course in mechanical engineering. The course instructor and instructional designer ...
How Unique Are Our Users? Part 2: Comparing Responses Regarding the Information-Seeking Habits of Education Faculty
(2013-09)
This follow-up study examines whether or not findings of single institution studies are applicable to other institutions by performing an institution-to-institution comparison of the results obtained from an information-seeking ...
Structure of Escherichia coli AdhP (ethanol-inducible dehydrogenase) with bound NAD
(Acta Crystallographica Section F: Structural Biology and Crystallization Communications, 2013)
The crystal structure of AdhP, a recombinantly expressed alcohol dehydrogenase
from Escherichia coli K-12 (substrain MG1655), was determined to
2.01 angstroms resolution. The structure, which was solved using molecular ...
Microbial Electricity Generation Enhances Decabromodiphenyl Ether (BDE-209) Degradation
(PLos One, 2013-08-05)
Due to environmental persistence and biotoxicity of polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), it is urgent to develop potential technologies to remediate PBDEs. Introducing electrodes for microbial electricity generation to ...

Plant-Symbiotic Fungi as Chemical Engineers: Multi-Genome Analysis of the Clavicipitaceae Reveals Dynamics of Alkaloid Loci
(2013-02-28)
The fungal family Clavicipitaceae includes plant symbionts and parasites that produce several psychoactive and bioprotective alkaloids. The family includes grass symbionts in the epichloae clade (Epichloë and Neotyphodium ...
Team Players and Collective Performance: How Agreeableness Affects Team Performance Over Time
(Small Group Research, 2013-12-01)
Previous research on teams has found that agreeableness is one of the strongest personality predictors of team performance, yet one of the weakest personality predictors of individual-level job performance. In this study, ...
Emissions of NO and NH3 from a Typical Vegetable-Land Soil after the Application of Chemical N Fertilizers in the Pearl River Delta
(PLos One, 2013-03-19)
Cropland soil is an important source of atmospheric nitric oxide (NO) and ammonia (NH3). Chinese croplands are characterized by intensive management, but limited information is available with regard to NO emissions from ...
