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 ...
Carboxylic acids production and electrosynthetic microbial community evolution under different CO2 feeding regimes
(Elsevier, 2020-10-15)
Microbial electrosynthesis (MES) is a potential technology for CO2 recycling, but insufficient information is available on the microbial interactions underpinning electrochemically-assisted reactions. In this study, a MES ...
Eight rules for improving the quality of papers on the antimicrobial susceptibility of bacteria isolated from aquatic animals
(Inter-Research Science Publisher, 2020-04-30)
The methods for antimicrobial susceptibility testing of bacteria, although relatively simple, are not robust. As a consequence, if the data generated in such tests are to be commensu- rate, all susceptibility tests must ...
Influence of incubation time on antimicrobial susceptibility testing of pathogenic Vibrio anguillarum and Vibrio vulnificus isolated from fish
(Elsevier, 2020-07-15)
A multi-laboratory study was performed to investigate the most suitable incubation time for susceptibility tests of fish pathogens Vibrio anguillarum and Vibrio vulnificus performed at 28 degrees C. An isolate set consisting ...
Microbial electrosynthesis: Towards sustainable biorefineries for production of green chemicals from CO2 emissions
(Elsevier, 2020-12-01)
Decarbonisation of the economy has become a priority at the global level, and the resulting legislative pressure is pushing the chemical and energy industries away from fossil fuels. Microbial electrosynthesis (MES) has ...
Alkoxyalkyl esters of nucleotide analogs inhibit polyomavirus DNA replication and large T antigen activities
(American Society for Microbiology Journals, 2020-12-07)
Polyomavirus-related infections are ubiqutious in immunocompromised individuals and in some cases are intractable and fatal. Due to lack of approved drugs to treat polyomavirus infections, cidofovir, a phosphonate nucleotide ...
Glycomics microarrays reveal differential in situ presentation of the biofilm polysaccharide Poly-N-acetylglucosamine on Acinetobacter baumannii and Staphylococcus aureus cell surfaces
(MDPI, 2020-04-02)
The biofilm component poly-N-acetylglucosamine (PNAG) is an important virulence determinant in medical-device-related infections caused by ESKAPE group pathogens including Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus and Gram-negative ...
Setting epidemiological cut-off values for bacteria isolated from aquatic animals: a toolbox for designing a 96-well plate for microdilution MIC assays
(European Association of Fish Pathologists, 2020-06-02)
A workshop was held at the EAFP meeting in
Porto to initiate discussion on the design of
studies that could generate the data needed to
set epidemiological cut-off values appropriate
for application to antimicrobial ...
A review of the shortcomings in the testing methods used and reporting of data in the literature on antimicrobial susceptibility
(European Association of Fish Pathologists, 2020-06-02)
The susceptibility test protocols used in 186 published papers that reported 203 studies of the antimicrobial susceptibility of non-cholera Vibrio spp were examined. Only a very small percentage
of the studies provided ...
Examination of oestrus-dependent alterations of bovine cervico-vaginal mucus glycosylation for potential as optimum fertilisation indicators
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2021-03-09)
Oestrus is the period in the sexual cycle of female mammals during which ovulation occurs, where they become most receptive to mating and are most fertile. Efficient detection of oestrus is a key component in successful ...
