  22. The Response to 2-Aminoacrylate Differs in E. coli and S. enterica, Despite Shared Metabolic Components

    • Journal of Bacteriology

    • The metabolic network of an organism includes the sum total of the biochemical reactions present. In microbes, this network has an impeccable ability to sense and respond to perturbations caused by internal or external stimuli. The metabolic potential (i.e, network structure) of an organism is often drawn from the genome sequence, based on the presence of enzymes deemed to indicate specific pathways.

  23. Phase variable changes in the position of O-methyl phosphoramidate modifications on the polysaccharide capsule of Campylobacter jejuni modulate serum resistance

    • Journal of Bacteriology

    • Campylobacter jejuni polysaccharide capsules (CPSs) are characterized by the presence of non-stoichiometric O-methyl phosphoramidate (MeOPN) modifications. The lack of stoichiometry is due to phase variation at homopolymeric tracts within the MeOPN transferase genes. C. jejuni strain 81-176 contains two MeOPN transferase genes and has been shown previously to contain MeOPN modifications on the 2- and 6-positions of the galactose (Gal) moiety in the CPS.

  24. The glucose-specific enzyme IIA of the phosphoenolpyruvate: carbohydrate phosphotransferase system modulates chitin signaling pathways in Vibrio cholerae

    • Journal of Bacteriology

    • In Vibrio cholerae, the genes required for chitin utilization and natural competence, are governed by the chitin-responsive two-component system (TCS) sensor kinase ChiS. In the classical TCS paradigm, a sensor kinase specifically phosphorylates a cognate response regulator to activate gene expression.

  25. Impact of Seasonal Hypoxia on Activity and Community Structure of Chemolithoautotrophic Bacteria in a Coastal Sediment [Environmental Microbiology]

    • Applied and Environmental Microbiology

    • Seasonal hypoxia in coastal systems drastically changes the availability of electron acceptors in bottom water, which alters the sedimentary reoxidation of reduced compounds. However, the effect of seasonal hypoxia on the chemolithoautotrophic community that catalyzes these reoxidation reactions is rarely studied.
