Specificity and sensitivity evaluation of novel and existing Bacteroidales and Bifidobacteria-specific PCR assays on feces and sewage samples and their application for microbial source tracking in Ireland
(Elsevier, 2009)Three novel ruminant-specific PCR assays, an existing ruminant-specific PCR assay and five existing human-specific PCR assays, which target 16S rDNA from Bacteroidales or Bifidobacteria, were evaluated. The assays were ... -
Standard protocols for antimicrobial susceptibility testing of Vibrionaceae isolated from aquatic animals
(European Association of Fish Pathologists, 2018-07-18)A review of the relevant literature has shown that it is safe to recommend that the antimicrobial susceptibility of the species of the Vibrionaceae most commonly isolated from aquatic animals can be established using ... -
Statistical corrections of fracture sampling bias in boreholes from acoustic televiewer logs
(New Zealand Geothermal Workshop, 2012)Targeting structurally controlled permeability remains a challenge in high temperature geothermal fields, because of the difficulties in characterising faults and fractures and their behaviour within the reservoir. The ... -
Stress management at the ER: regulators of ER stress-induced apoptosis.
(Elsevier, 2012-02-17)The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is an elaborate cellular organelle essential for cell function and survival. Conditions that interfere with ER function lead to the accumulation and aggregation of unfolded proteins which are ... -
SV40 T antigen helicase domain regions responsible for oligomerisation regulate Okazaki fragment synthesis initiation
(Wiley Open Access and Federation of European Biochemical Societies, 2022-01-24)The initiation of Okazaki fragment synthesis during cellular DNA replication is a crucial step for lagging strand synthesis, which is carried out by the primase function of DNA polymerase ¿-primase (Pol-prim). Since cellular ... -
SV40 T antigen interactions with ssDNA and replication protein A: a regulatory role of T antigen monomers in lagging strand DNA replication
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2020-03-04)DNA replication is a central process in all living organisms. Polyomavirus DNA replication serves as a model system for eukaryotic DNA replication and has considerably contributed to our understanding of basic replication ... -
Systems-based approaches to unravel multi-species microbial community functioning
(Research Network of Computational and Structural Biotechnology, 2014-12-03)Some of the most transformative discoveries promising to enable the resolution of this century's grand societal challenges will most likely arise from environmental science and particularly environmental microbiology ... -
Tectonic structure and permeability in the Taupô Rift: new insights from analysis of LiDAR derived dems
(New Zealand Geothermal Workshop, 2017-11-22)The location of permeable zones, and preliminary quantification of a geothermal well’s production or injection capacity are routinely interpreted from well pressure, temperature, and flow measurements made at ... -
Temperature-dependent phenotypic variation of Campylobacter jejuni lipooligosaccharides
(2010-11)Background:Campylobacter jejuni is a major bacterial cause of food-borne enteritis, and its lipooligosaccharide (LOS) plays an initiating role in the development of the autoimmune neuropathy, Guillain-Barré syndrome, by ... -
Variability of candidate genes, genetic structure and association with sugar accumulation and climacteric behavior in a broad germplasm collection of melon (Cucumis melo L.)
(BioMed Central, 2015-03-19)Background: A collection of 175 melon (Cucumis melo L.) accessions (including wild relatives, feral types, landraces, breeding lines and commercial cultivars) from 50 countries was selected to study the phenotypic variability ... -
The Vibrio parahaemolyticus ToxRS Regulator Is Required for Stress Tolerance and Colonization in a Novel Orogastric Streptomycin-Induced Adult Murine Model
(American Society for Microbiology, 2012-03)Vibrio parahaemolyticus, a marine bacterium, is the causative agent of gastroenteritis associated with the consumption of seafood. It contains a homologue of the toxRS operon that in V. cholerae is the key regulator of ... -
The Vibrio parahaemolyticus Type III Secretion Systems manipulate host cell MAPK for critical steps in pathogenesis
(BioMed Central, 2011)Background:Vibrio parahaemolyticus is a food-borne pathogen causing inflammation of the gastrointestinal epithelium. Pathogenic strains of this bacterium possess two Type III Secretion Systems (TTSS) that deliver effector ... -
The virulence plasmid of Yersinia, an anti-host genome
(American Society for Microbiology, 1998-12)Invasive pathogenic bacteria have in common the capacity to overcome the defense mechanisms of their animal host and to proliferate in its tissues. They each have their own life-style and target organs and cause a variety ... -
Volcanic texture identification and influence on permeability using a borehole resistivity image log in the Whakamaru Group Ignimbrite, Wairakei Geothermal Field, New Zealand
(Workshop on Geothermal Reservoir Engineering, 2018-02-12)Discerning the contributions to fluid flow in a geothermal reservoir from intrinsic and structural permeability components is an important, yet difficult task. High-quality, resistivity borehole image log data (Formation ...
