Identification of Components of the Sigma B Regulon in Listeria monocytogenes That Contribute to Acid and Salt Tolerance
(American Society for Microbiology, 2008-09)Sigma B is an alternative sigma factor that controls the transcriptional response to stress in Listeria monocytogenes and is also known to play a role in the virulence of this human pathogen. In the present study we ... -
Identification of imprinted genes subject to parent-of-origin specific expression in Arabidopsis thaliana seeds
(2011)Background: Epigenetic regulation of gene dosage by genomic imprinting of some autosomal genes facilitates normal reproductive development in both mammals and flowering plants. While many imprinted genes have been identified ... -
Identification of novel cis-regulatory elements of Eya1 in Xenopus laevis using BAC recombineering
(Nature Publishing Group, 2017-11-03)The multifunctional Eya1 protein plays important roles during the development of cranial sensory organs and ganglia, kidneys, hypaxial muscles and several other organs in vertebrates. Eya1 is encoded by a complex locus ... -
Identification of putative adhesins and carbohydrate ligands of Lactobacillus paracasei using a combinatorial in silico and glycomics microarray profiling approach
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2019-11-11)Commensal bacteria must colonize host mucosal surfaces to exert health-promoting properties, and bind to gastrointestinal tract (GIT) mucins via their cell surface adhesins. Considerable effort has been directed towards ... -
Identifying the sources and sinks of CDOM/FDOM across the Mauritanian Shelf and their potential role in the decomposition of superoxide (O2- )
(Frontiers Media, 2016-08-03)Superoxide (O−2O2-) is a short lived reactive oxygen species (ROS) formed in seawater by photochemical or biological sources, it is important in the redox cycling of trace elements and organic matter in the ocean. The ... -
Impact of trichloroethylene exposure on the microbial diversity and protein expression in anaerobic granular biomass at 37°C and 15°C
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2012-09-14)Granular biomass from a laboratory-scale anaerobic bioreactor trial was analysed to identify changes in microbial community structure and function in response to temperature and trichloroethylene (TCE). Two bioreactors ... -
In vitro comparative cytotoxicity study of a novel biocidal iodo-thiocyanate complex
(Elsevier, 2018-04-03)Novel biocides, which avoid the induction of cross-resistance to antibiotics, are an urgent societal requirement. Here, we compared the cytotoxic and bactericidal effects of a new antimicrobial agent, the iodo-thiocyanate ... -
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 ... -
Influence of stormflow and baseflow phosphorus pressures on stream ecology in agricultural catchments
(Elsevier, 2017-03-09)Stormflow and baseflow phosphorus (P) concentrations and loads in rivers may exert different ecological pressures during different seasons. These pressures and subsequent impacts are important to disentangle in order to ... -
An inherited duplication at the gene p21 Protein-Activated Kinase 7 (PAK7) is a risk factor for psychosis
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2014-01-28)Identifying rare, highly penetrant risk mutations may be an important step in dissecting the molecular etiology of schizophrenia. We conducted a gene-based analysis of large (>100 kb), rare copy-number variants (CNVs) in ... -
Inhibition of human BK polyomavirus replication by small noncoding RNAs
(American Society for Microbiology Journals, 2011)Small noncoding RNAs regulate a variety of cellular processes, including genomic imprinting, chromatin remodeling, replication, transcription, and translation. Here, we report small replication-regulating RNAs (srRNAs) ... -
The integrated stress response
(EMBO Press, 2016-09-14)In response to diverse stress stimuli, eukaryotic cells activate a common adaptive pathway, termed the integrated stress response (ISR), to restore cellular homeostasis. The core event in this pathway is the phosphorylation ... -
International ocean discovery program expedition 372 preliminary report: creeping gas hydrate slides and Hikurangi LWD, 26 November 2017 - 4 January 2018
(Texan A&M University, 2018-03)International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP) Expedition 372 combined two research topics, slow slip events (SSEs) on subduction faults (IODP Proposal 781A-Full) and actively deforming gas hydrate bearing landslides (IODP ... -
Interpretive review of the acoustic borehole image logs acquired to date in the Wairakei-Tauhara Geothermal Field

Intracellular accumulation of high levels of gamma-aminobutyrate by Listeria monocytogenes 10403S in response to low pH: uncoupling of gamma-aminobutyrate synthesis from efflux in a chemically defined medium
(American Society for Microbiology, 2010-06)It is well established that the glutamate decarboxylase (GAD) system is central to the survival of Listeria monocytogenes at low pH, both in acidic foods and within the mammalian stomach. The accepted model proposes that ... -
The isolation of strains of Bacillus subtilis showing improved plasmid stability characteristics by means of selective chemostat culture
(1988-03-23)A PUB 110-derived plasmid encoding chloramphenicol resistance, kanamycin resistance and high-temperature alpha-amylase showed a high degree of segregational instability when inserted into Bacillus subtilis. In an attempt ... -
Kinetics in signal transduction pathways involving promiscuous oligomerizing receptors can be determined by receptor specificity: Apoptosis induction by TRAIL
(American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2012)Here we show by computer modeling that kinetics and outcome of signal transduction in case of hetero-oligomerizing receptors of a promiscuous ligand largely depend on the relative amounts of its receptors. Promiscuous ... -
Late-interseismic state of a continental plate-bounding fault: Petrophysical results from DFDP-1 wireline logging and core analysis, Alpine Fault, New Zealand
(American Geophysical Union (AGU), 2013)We present a geophysical characterization at 0.1-100 m scales of a major plate-bounding continental fault in a late-interseismic state. The Alpine Fault produces M-W approximate to 8 earthquakes every 200-400 years and ... -
