Mycoplasma hominis (M. hominis) belongs to the class Mollicutes, characterized by a very small genome size, metabolic pathway reduction, including transcription factors, and the absence of a cell wall. Despite this, they adapt well not only to specific niches within the host organism but can also sp...
The 791spin is the spinosad-selected strain derived from 791a, a laboratory strain derived from a multi-resistant field-collected sample of houseflies. The 791a strain proved highly resistant to pyrethroids and some anticholinesterases and showed some resistance to the chitin synthesis-disrupting la...
Acinetobacter baumannii is currently a major threat to human health. With the spread of multidrug-resistant (MDR) and extensively drug-resistant (XDR) strains, the development of complementary strategies is needed. A promising complimentary and realistic strategy could be phage therapy, which uses b...
Organophosphate resistant and susceptible tick larvae from laboratory strains of the southern cattle tick, Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus were exposed to low doses of the organophosphate (OP) acaricide, coumaphos. Serial Analysis of Gene Expression (SAGE) was used to analyze differential gene ...
The WhiG sigma factor gene is required for spore formation is Streptomyces venezuelae. It is similar to the FliA sigma factor of E. coli. WhiG deletion strains are able to make aerial hyphae but are defective in the spore maturation. This ChIP-Seq experiment was carried out to determine all the bind...
Previously, it has been demonstrated that formate can be utilized by Saccharomyces cerevisiae as additional energy source using cells grown in a glucose-limited chemostat. Here, we investigated utilization of formaldehyde as co-substrate. Since endogenous formaldehyde dehydrogenase activities were i...
The bacterial stringent response is triggered by deficiencies of available nutrients andother environmental stresses. It is mediated by 5'-triphosphate-guanosine-3'- diphosphate and 5'-diphosphate-guanosine-3'-diphosphate (collectively (p)ppGpp) and generates global changes in gene expression and me...
In order to understand how biochemical and genetic differences correlate with treatment response, we measured depressive-like behavior, gene expression and the levels of thirty-six neurobiochemical analytes across a panel of genetically-diverse mouse inbred lines after chronic treatment with vehicle...
