Microbial Electrosynthesis: Feeding Microbes Electricity To Convert Carbon Dioxide and Water to Multicarbon Extracellular Organic Compounds
Tập 1 Số 2 - 2010
ABSTRACT The possibility of providing the acetogenic microorganism Sporomusa
ovata with electrons delivered directly to the cells with a graphite electrode
for the reduction of carbon dioxide to organic compounds was investigated.
Biofilms of S. ovata growing on graphite cathode surfaces consumed electrons
with the reduction of carbon dioxide to acetate and small amounts of
2-oxobutyrate. Electron...
A Genetic Resource for Rapid and Comprehensive Phenotype Screening of Nonessential Staphylococcus aureus Genes
Tập 4 Số 1 - 2013
ABSTRACT To enhance the research capabilities of investigators interested in
Staphylococcus aureus , the Nebraska Center for Staphylococcal Research (CSR)
has generated a sequence-defined transposon mutant library consisting of 1,952
strains, each containing a single mutation within a nonessential gene of the
epidemic community-associated methicillin-resistant S. aureus (CA-MRSA) isolate
USA300. T...
Functional Molecular Ecological Networks
Tập 1 Số 4 - 2010
ABSTRACT Biodiversity and its responses to environmental changes are central
issues in ecology and for society. Almost all microbial biodiversity research
focuses on “species” richness and abundance but not on their interactions.
Although a network approach is powerful in describing ecological interactions
among species, defining the network structure in a microbial community is a
great challenge....
Phylogenetic Molecular Ecological Network of Soil Microbial Communities in Response to Elevated CO 2
Tập 2 Số 4 - 2011
ABSTRACT Understanding the interactions among different species and their
responses to environmental changes, such as elevated atmospheric concentrations
of CO 2 , is a central goal in ecology but is poorly understood in microbial
ecology. Here we describe a novel random matrix theory (RMT)-based conceptual
framework to discern phylogenetic molecular ecological networks using
metagenomic sequencin...
Complement Activation Contributes to Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus Pathogenesis
Tập 9 Số 5 - 2018
The complement system is a critical part of host defense to many bacterial,
viral, and fungal infections. It works alongside pattern recognition receptors
to stimulate host defense systems in advance of activation of the adaptive
immune response. In this study, we directly test the role of complement in
SARS-CoV pathogenesis using a mouse model and show that respiratory disease is
significantly re...
Conditionally Rare Taxa Disproportionately Contribute to Temporal Changes in Microbial Diversity
Tập 5 Số 4 - 2014
ABSTRACT Microbial communities typically contain many rare taxa that make up the
majority of the observed membership, yet the contribution of this microbial
“rare biosphere” to community dynamics is unclear. Using 16S rRNA amplicon
sequencing of 3,237 samples from 42 time series of microbial communities from
nine different ecosystems (air; marine; lake; stream; adult human skin, tongue,
and gut; i...
Transforming the Untransformable: Application of Direct Transformation To Manipulate Genetically Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis
Tập 3 Số 2 - 2012
ABSTRACT The strong restriction barrier present in Staphylococcus aureus and
Staphylococcus epidermidis has limited functional genomic analysis to a small
subset of strains that are amenable to genetic manipulation. Recently, a
conserved type IV restriction system termed SauUSI (which specifically
recognizes cytosine methylated DNA) was identified as the major barrier to
transformation with foreig...
Human Coronavirus 229E Remains Infectious on Common Touch Surface Materials
Tập 6 Số 6 - 2015
ABSTRACT The evolution of new and reemerging historic virulent strains of
respiratory viruses from animal reservoirs is a significant threat to human
health. Inefficient human-to-human transmission of zoonotic strains may
initially limit the spread of transmission, but an infection may be contracted
by touching contaminated surfaces. Enveloped viruses are often susceptible to
environmental stresse...
Identification of Novel Mobilized Colistin Resistance Gene mcr-9 in a Multidrug-Resistant, Colistin-Susceptible Salmonella enterica Serotype Typhimurium Isolate
Tập 10 Số 3 - 2019
Colistin is a last-resort antibiotic that is used to treat severe infections
caused by MDR and extensively drug-resistant (XDR) bacteria. The World Health
Organization (WHO) has designated colistin as a “highest priority critically
important antimicrobial for human medicine” (WHO, Critically Important
Antimicrobials for Human Medicine , 5th revision , 2017,

Flavin Electron Shuttles Dominate Extracellular Electron Transfer by Shewanella oneidensis
Tập 4 Số 1 - 2013
ABSTRACTShewanella oneidensisstrain MR-1 is widely studied for its ability to
respire a diverse array of soluble and insoluble electron acceptors. The ability
to breathe insoluble substrates is defined as extracellular electron transfer
and can occur via direct contact or by electron shuttling inS. oneidensis. To
determine the contribution of flavin electron shuttles in extracellular electron
tran...
