  8. WrpA is an atypical flavodoxin-family protein under regulatory control of the Brucella abortus general stress response system

    • Journal of Bacteriology

    • The general stress response (GSR) system of the intracellular pathogen Brucella abortus controls transcription of approximately 100 genes in response to a range of stress cues. The core genetic regulatory components of the GSR are required for B. abortus survival under non-optimal growth conditions in vitro, and for maintenance of chronic infection in an in vivo mouse model. The functions of the majority of the genes in the GSR transcriptional regulon remain undefined.

  10. Automated Multiplug Filtration Cleanup for PesticideResidue Analyses in Kiwi Fruit (Actinidia chinensis) and Kiwi Juice by Gas Chromatography–Mass Spectrometry

    • Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry

    • To reduce labor-consuming manual operation workload in the cleanup steps, an automated multiplug filtration cleanup (m-PFC) method for QuEChERS (quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged, and safe) extracts was developed. It could control the volume and speed of pulling and pushing cycles accurately.

  20. Toxins, Vol. 8, Pages 42: Acetylated Deoxynivalenol GeneratesDifferences of Gene Expression thatDiscriminate Trichothecene Toxicity

    • Toxins

    • Deoxynivalenol (DON), which is a toxic secondary metabolite generated by Fusarium species, is synthesized through two separate acetylation pathways. Both acetylation derivatives, 3-acetyl-DON (3ADON) and 15-acetyl-DON (15ADON), also contaminate grain and corn widely. These derivatives are deacetylated via a variety of processes after ingestion, so it has been suggested that they have the same toxicity as DON.

  24. Contribution of the Salmonella enterica KdgR Regulon to Persistence of the Pathogen in Vegetable Soft Rots [Food Microbiology]

    • Applied and Environmental Microbiology

    • During their colonization of plants, human enteric pathogens, such as Salmonella enterica, are known to benefit from interactions with phytopathogens. At least in part, benefits derived by Salmonella from the association with a soft rot caused by Pectobacterium carotovorum were shown to be dependent on Salmonella KdgR, a regulator of genes involved in the uptake and utilization of carbon sources derived from the degradation of plant polymers.

  25. Diguanylate Cyclases AdrA and STM1987 Regulate Salmonella enterica Exopolysaccharide Production during Plant Colonization in an Environment-Dependent Manner [Plant Microbiology]

    • Applied and Environmental Microbiology

    • Increasing evidence indicates that despite exposure to harsh environmental stresses, Salmonella enterica successfully persists on plants, utilizing fresh produce as a vector to animal hosts. Among the important S. enterica plant colonization factors are those involved in biofilm formation. S. enterica biofilm formation is controlled by the signaling molecule cyclic di-GMP and represents a sessile lifestyle on surfaces that protects the bacterium from environmental factors.
