Abstract:: ... It has been reported previously that activation of vascular endothelium by outer membrane proteins of the spirochetes Borrelia sp. and Treponema sp. resulted in enhanced expression of endothelial cell adhesion molecules. To investigate the role of leptospiral proteins in this process, a predicted lipoprotein encoded by the gene LIC10365 was selected, which belongs to a paralogous family that prese ...

Subject:: Escherichia coli; Vibrio cholerae; agar; bacteria; chemotaxis; environmental factors; genes; mutants; phenotype; succinic acid
Abstract:: ... The ability to move toward favorable environmental conditions, called chemotaxis, is common among motile bacteria. In particular, aerotaxis has been extensively studied in Escherichia coli and was shown to be dependent on the aer and tsr genes. Three putative aer gene homologs were identified in the Vibrio cholerae genome, designated aer-1 (VC0512), aer-2 (VCA0658), and aer-3 (VCA0988). Deletion a ...

Subject:: Camembert cheese; Enterococcus faecalis; Enterococcus faecium; Escherichia coli; dairy consumption; endocarditis; feces; gastrointestinal system; humans; intestinal microorganisms; meat products; meningitis; quantitative polymerase chain reaction
Abstract:: ... Enterococci are natural inhabitants of the human gastrointestinal tract and the main Gram-positive and facultative anaerobic cocci recovered in human faeces. They are also present in a variety of fermented dairy and meat products, and some rare isolates are responsible for severe infections such as endocarditis and meningitis. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of Camembert ch ...

Subject:: Escherichia coli; alpha-ketoglutaric acid; aspartate kinase; biosynthesis; gene expression; gene expression regulation; genes; glutamic acid; heat shock proteins; lysine; starvation; transporters
Abstract:: ... Aspartokinase III, encoded by lysC, is responsible for the first step of lysine biosynthesis in Escherichia coli. In this study, a lysC knockout E. coli W3110 strain was generated to study the differential gene expression profiles of wild type and lysC knockout strains. Several significant changes were observed, including biosynthesis of lysine, oxaloacetate, α-ketoglutarate and glutamate genes. G ...
