  3. Characterization of FlgP, an essential protein for flagellar assembly in Rhodobacter

    • Journal of Bacteriology

    • The flagellar lipoprotein FlgP has been identified in several species of bacteria and, its absence provokes different phenotypes. In this work we show that in the α proteobacterium Rhodobacter sphaeroides, a flgP mutant is unable to assemble the hook and the filament. In contrast, the MS ring and the flagellar rod appear to be assembled. In the absence of FlgP a severe defect in the transition from rod to hook polymerization occurs.

  24. Genetic Differentiation Associated with Fumonisin and Gibberellin Production in Japanese Fusarium fujikuroi [Environmental Microbiology]

    • Applied and Environmental Microbiology

    • Fusarium fujikuroi is a pathogenic fungus that infects rice. It produces several important mycotoxins, such as fumonisins. Fumonisin production has been detected in strains of maize, strawberry, and wheat, whereas it has not been detected in strains from rice seedlings infested with bakanae disease in Japan. We investigated the genetic relationships, pathogenicity, and resistance to a fungicide, thiophanate-methyl (TM), in 51 fumonisin-producing strains and 44 nonproducing strains.

  25. Assessing Transmission of Antimicrobial-Resistant Escherichia coli in Wild Giraffe Contact Networks [Microbial Ecology]

    • Applied and Environmental Microbiology

    • There is growing evidence that anthropogenic sources of antibiotics and antimicrobial-resistant bacteria can spill over into natural ecosystems, raising questions about the role wild animals play in the emergence, maintenance, and dispersal of antibiotic resistance genes.
