ABSTRACT
Fosfomycin is a decades-old antibiotic which is being revisited because of its perceived activity against many extensively drug-resistant Gram-negative pathogens. FosA proteins are Mn

ABSTRACT
The fungal cell wall confers cell morphology and protection against environmental insults. For fungal pathogens, the cell wall is a key immunological modulator and an ideal therapeutic target. Yeast cell walls possess an inner matrix of interlinked β-glucan and chitin that is thought to provide tensile strength and rigidity. Yeast ce...... hiện toàn bộ
Mucolipin-2 Cation Channel Increases Trafficking Efficiency of Endocytosed VirusesmBio - Tập 9 Số 1 - 2018
Nicholas Rinkenberger, John W. Schoggins
ABSTRACT
Receptor-mediated endocytosis is a cellular process commonly hijacked by viruses to enter cells. The stages of entry are well described for certain viruses, but the host factors that mediate each step are less well characterized. We previously identified endosomal cation channel mucolipin-2 (MCOLN2) as a host factor that promotes vir...... hiện toàn bộ
Bactofencin A, a New Type of Cationic Bacteriocin with Unusual ImmunitymBio - Tập 4 Số 6 - 2013

ABSTRACT
Bacteriocin production is an important probiotic trait of intestinal bacteria. In this study, we identify a new type of bacteriocin, bactofencin A, produced by a porcine intestinal isolate
Lactobacillus salivarius
DPC6502, and assess its pot...... hiện toàn bộ
Infection-Induced Intestinal Dysbiosis Is Mediated by Macrophage Activation and Nitrate ProductionmBio - Tập 10 Số 3 - 2019

Toxoplasma gondiiis a protozoan parasite and a leading cause of foodborne illness. Infection is initiated when the parasite invades the intestinal epithelium, and in many host species, this leads to intense inflammation and a dramatic disruption of the normal microbial ecosystem that resides in the healthy gut (the so-ca...... hiện toàn bộ

Drivers of Microbiome Biodiversity: A Review of General Rules, Feces, and IgnorancemBio - Tập 9 Số 4 - 2018
Aspen T. Reese, Robert R. Dunn
The alpha diversity of ecologic communities is affected by many biotic and abiotic drivers and, in turn, affects ecosystem functioning. Yet, patterns of alpha diversity in host-associated microbial communities (microbiomes) are poorly studied and the appropriateness of general theory is untested.

Extracellular Enzymes Facilitate Electron Uptake in Biocorrosion and BioelectrosynthesismBio - Tập 6 Số 2 - 2015
Jörg S. Deutzmann, Merve Şahin, Alfred M. Spormann
ABSTRACT
Direct, mediator-free transfer of electrons between a microbial cell and a solid phase in its surrounding environment has been suggested to be a widespread and ecologically significant process. The high rates of microbial electron uptake observed during microbially influenced corrosion of iron [Fe(0)] and during microbial electrosynt...... hiện toàn bộ
