1. Functional Profiling Of Metabolic Regulation In Marine Bacteria
Abstract : Oceans are powered by active, metabolically diverse microorganisms, which are important in regulating biogeochemical cycles on Earth. Most of the ocean surface is often limited by nutrients, influencing bacterial growth and activities. READ MORE

2. Dissemination of Multiresistant Bacteria : Their Selection, Transmission, Virulence and Resistance
Abstract : Multiresistant bacteria are an emerging threat in modern medicine. Consumption of antimicrobial agents among humans, animals and in agriculture causes a selection of resistance genes. READ MORE

3. Disarming bacteria : a structure-based approach to design an anti-virulence drug against Listeria monocytogenes
Abstract : Antibiotic resistances are one of the biggest threats to global health and if we don’t change our behavior and way of using antibiotics we will end up in a ‘post-antibiotic era’, in which common infections and minor injuries can once kill again and up to 10 million deaths per year may occur by 2050. Therefore, there is a high need for new anti-bacterial drugs, especially of alternatives to existing antibiotics with already described resistances. READ MORE

4. Molecular mechanisms and biological consequences of the production of non-canonical D-amino acids in bacteria
Abstract : Most bacteria possess a vital net-like macromolecule – peptidoglycan (PG). PG encases bacteria around the cytoplasmic membrane to withstand the high internal turgor pressure and thereby protect the cell from bursting. In addition, PG is a major morphological determinant of bacteria being both required and sufficient to maintain cell shape. READ MORE

5. Regulation of survival and proliferation of human intestinal epithelial cells by leukotriene D4
Abstract : The pro-inflammatory mediator, Leukotriene D4 (LTD4) is a product of arachidonic acid cascade and has been implicated in asthma and inflammatory bowel diseases. Prolonged inflammatory conditions like ulcerative colitis increases the risk for the development of cancer and the factors that induce the chronic immune response remain uncertain. READ MORE
