Absence of curli in soil-persistent escherichia coli is mediated by a c-di-gmp signaling defect and suggests evidence of biofilm-independent niche specialization
(Frontiers Media SA, 2018-06-22)Escherichia coli is commonly viewed as a gastrointestinal commensal or pathogen although an increasing body of evidence suggests that it can persist in non-host environments as well. Curli are a major component of biofilm ... -
Disruption of the microtubule network alters cellulose deposition and causes major changes in pectin distribution in the cell wall of the green alga,penium margaritaceum
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2013-11-27)Application of the dintroaniline compound, oryzalin, which inhibits microtubule formation, to the unicellular green alga Penium margaritaceum caused major perturbations to its cell morphology, such as swelling at the wall ... -
Effect of microfibril twisting on theoretical powder diffraction patterns of cellulose iβ
(Springer Nature, 2013-09-25)Previous studies of calculated diffraction patterns for cellulose crystallites suggest that distortions that arise once models have been subjected to molecular dynamics (MD) simulation are the result of both microfibril ... -
Inefficiency in macromolecular transport of SCS‐based microcapsules affects viability of primary human mesenchymal stem cells but not of immortalized cells
(Wiley, 2015-05-01)Microcapsules made of sodium cellulose sulphate (SCS) and poly-diallyl-dimethyl-ammonium chloride (pDADMAC) have been employed to encapsulate a wide range of established cell lines for several applications. However, little ... -
Production of a recombinant swollenin from trichoderma harzianum in escherichia coli and its potential synergistic role in biomass degradation
(Springer Nature, 2017-05-16)Background: Fungal swollenins (SWOs) constitute a class of accessory proteins that are homologous to canonical plant expansins. Expansins and expansin-related proteins are well known for acting in the deagglomeration of ... -
Stomatal cell wall composition: distinctive structural patterns associated with different phylogenetic groups
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2017-01-31)Background and Aims Stomatal morphology and function have remained largely conserved throughout similar to 400 million years of plant evolution. However, plant cell wall composition has evolved and changed. Here stomatal ... -
The stereochemical course of reactions catalysed by the cellobiohydrolases produced bytalaromyces emersonii
(Portland Press Ltd., 1992-04-01)Three forms of exocellobiohydrolase (EC 3.2.1.91), CBH IA, CBH IB and CBH II, were isolated to apparent homogeneity from culture filtrates of the aerobic fungus Talaromyces emersonii. CBH IA and CBH II appear to be native ... -
