Comparative genomics combined with phenotypical analyses reveal novel acid stress response mechanisms in Listeria monocytogenes
(NUI Galway, 2023-06-13)Listeria monocytogenes is a pathogenic bacterium of significant concern for food safety. Its remarkable ability to withstand food-related stress and survive gastrointestinal passage is important for establishing ... -
Comparative glycan profiling of ceratopteris richardii ‘c-fern’ gametophytes and sporophytes links cell-wall composition to functional specialization
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2014-04-03)Background and Aims Innovations in vegetative and reproductive characters were key factors in the evolutionary history of land plants and most of these transformations, including dramatic changes in life cycle structure ... -
Comparative proteomics implicates a role for multiple secretion systems in electrode-respiring geobacter sulfurreducens biofilms
(American Chemical Society (ACS), 2016-12-02)Geobacter sulfurreducens is a dissimilatory metal-reducing bacterium capable of forming thick electron-conducting biofilms on solid electrodes. Here we employ for the first time comparative proteomics to identify key ... -
