Genetic modification of cell lines and primary cells is an expensive and cumbersome approach, often involving the use of viral vectors. Electroporation using square-wave generating devices, like Lonza's Nucleofector, is a widely used... more
The plant-pathogenic bacterium Xanthomonas campestris pv. vesicatoria possesses a type III secretion (T3S) system which is encoded in the 23-kb hypersensitive response and pathogenicity (hrp) gene cluster. The T3S system is essential for... more
Ktedonobacter racemifer corrig. Cavaletti et al. 2007 is the type species of the genus Ktedonobacter, which in turn is the type genus of the family Ktedonobacteraceae, the type family of the order Ktedonobacterales within the class... more

A set of Tn10 mutants of Salmonella typhimurium which have a diminished capacity to survive in murine macrophages and decreased virulence in mice has been described previously. In this study, we characterized 30 of these mutants and... more
The completion of the genome assembly for the African malaria mosquito, Anopheles gambiae, and continuing genomic efforts for the yellow fever mosquito, Aedes aegypti, have allowed the use of bioinformatics tools to identify and... more
Transgenetic algorithms are evolutionary computing techniques based on living processes where cooperation is the main evolutionary strategy. Those processes contain the movement of genetic material between living beings and endosymbiotic... more
No free plasmid has ever been found in the myxobacterium Myxococcus xanthus, but IncP-1 plasmids are able to integrate into the chromosome of this bacterium. The frequency of integration depends greatly upon the structure of the IncP-1... more
The increase of publicly available sequencing data has allowed for rapid progress in our understanding of genome composition. As new information becomes available we should constantly be updating and reanalyzing existing and newly... more
The facultative pathogenic fungus Fusarium oxysporum is known to harbour many different transposable and/or repetitive elements. We have identified Drifter, a novel DNA transposon of the hAT family in F. oxysporum. It was found adjoining... more
The accumulation of recalcitrant xenobiotic compounds is due to continuous efflux from population and industrial inputs that have created a serious impact on the pristine nature of our environment. Apart from this, these compounds are... more
Recombinant urease from Providencia stuartii has been expressed in and purified from Escherichia coli, and the genetic organization of the structural genes has been determined. Urease expression was induced by urea and repressed by... more
Antibiotic resistance among avian bacterial isolates is common and is of great concern to the poultry industry. Approximately 36% (n = 100) of avian, pathogenic Escherichia coli isolates obtained from diseased poultry exhibited... more
