  5. Cell surface-associated aggregation-promoting factor from Lactobacillus gasseri SBT2055 facilitates host colonization and competitive exclusion of Campylobacter jejuni

    • Molecular Microbiology

    • Campylobacter jejuni, one of the most common causes of gastroenteritis worldwide, is transmitted to humans through poultry. We previously reported that Lactobacillus gasseri SBT2055 (LG2055) reduced C. jejuni infection in human epithelial cells in vitro and inhibited pathogen colonization of chickens in vivo.

      To evaluate whether botulinum toxin A (BoNT-A) injection and Lipotoxin (liposomes with 200 U of BoNT-A) instillation target different proteins, including P2X3, synaptic vesicle glycoprotein 2A, and SNAP-25, in the bladder mucosa, leading to different treatment outcomes.

  10. The role of FlhF and HubP as polar landmark proteins in Shewanella putrefaciens CN-32

    • Molecular Microbiology

    • Spatiotemporal regulation of cell polarity plays a role in many fundamental processes in bacteria and often relies on ‘landmark’ proteins which recruit the corresponding clients to their designated position. Here, we explored the localization of two multi-protein complexes, the polar flagellar motor and the chemotaxis array, in Shewanella putrefaciens CN-32. We demonstrate that polar positioning of the flagellar system, but not of the chemotaxis system, depends on the GTPase FlhF.

  14. ArsP: a methylarsenite efflux permease

    • Molecular Microbiology

    • Trivalent organoarsenic compounds are far more toxic than either pentavalent organoarsenicals or inorganic arsenite. Many microbes methylate inorganic arsenite (As(III)) to more toxic and carcinogenic methylarsenite (MAs(III)). Additionally, monosodium methylarsenate (MSMA or MAs(V)) has been used widely as an herbicide and is reduced by microbial communities to MAs(III).

  24. The dual transcriptional regulator RovM regulates the expression of AR3- and T6SS4-dependent acid survival systems in response to nutritional status in Yersinia pseudotuberculosis

    • Environmental Microbiology

    • Coordinated regulation of various acid survival systems in response to environmental stimuli is crucial for the adaptation of enteropathogenic bacteria to acidic environments such as the stomach. In this study, we demonstrated that the RovM protein, a central regulator of the CsrABC-RovM-RovA cascade, conversely regulates the expression of two acid survival systems in Yersinia pseudotuberculosis by acting as a dual transcriptional regulator.

  25. Fungi associated with rocks of the Atacama Desert: taxonomy, distribution, diversity, ecology and bioprospection for bioactive compounds

    • Environmental Microbiology

    • This study assessed the diversity of cultivable rock-associated fungi from Atacama Desert. Eighty-one fungal isolates obtained were identified as 21 species from Ascomycota, sequencing different regions of fungal DNA. Cladosporium halotolerans, Penicillium chrysogenum and Penicillium citrinum were the most frequent species, which occur at least in four different altitudes. The diversity and similarity indices ranged in the fungal communities across the latitudinal gradient.
