  2. 1. Structural Insight into the Bacterial Sialic Acid Catabolic Pathway

    Author : Rhawnie Caing Carlsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; sialic acid; bacterial catabolic pathway;

    Abstract : A genetically diverse community of commensal and pathogenic bacteria thrive in the digestive system and urogenital tracts of animals. Many of these bacteria forage sialic acid from mucosal cell surfaces. READ MORE

  4. 2. The Role of Proline Catabolism in Candida albicans Pathogenesis

    Author : Fitz Gerald S. Silao; Per O. Ljungdahl; Joachim Morschhäuser; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Candida albicans; proline metabolism; ATP; P5C; virulence; macrophage; hyphae; filamentation; Ras1 cAMP PKA; mitochondria; Proline dehydrogenase; P5C dehydrogenase; reactive oxygen species; Proline-P5C cycle; molekylär biovetenskap; Molecular Bioscience;

    Abstract : Candida albicans is an opportunistic fungal pathogen that has evolved in close association with human hosts. Pathogenicity is linked to an array of virulence characteristics expressed in response to environmental cues and that reflect the requirement to take up and metabolize nutrients available in the host.

  5. 3. Global regulatory factors that impact metabolic and lifestyle choices in Pseudomonas putida

    Author : Lisa Wirebrand; Victoria Shingler; Matthew Francis; Carlos Balsalobre; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Pseudomonas putida; c-di-GMP; motility; ppGpp; DksA; biofilm dispersal; transcriptional and translational regulation; dmp-system; phenol catabolism; carbon repression control; plasmid stability;

    Abstract : Pseudomonas putida strains have a broad metabolic capacity and are innately resistant to many harmful substances – properties that make them of interest for a number of industrial and biotechnological application. They can rapidly adapt to changes in physico-chemical parameters in the soil and water environments they naturally inhabit. READ MORE

  6. 4. Effects of Vibrio cholerae protease and pigment production on environmental survival and host interaction

    Author : Karolis Vaitkevicius; Sun Nyunt Wai; Timo Korhonen; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Bacteria-host interaction; Nematode; Metalloprotease; Medical microbiology; Medicinsk mikrobiologi;

    Abstract : Only two out of more than 200 V. cholerae serogroups, classified on the basis of LPS structure, are associated with epidemic or pandemic cholera. These toxigenic serogroups carry phage-derived pathogenicity islands coding for the main virulence factors for establishment of cholera disease – cholera toxin (CTX) and toxin-coregulated pilus (TCP).
