The structure and function of TasA in the <i>Bacillus subtilis</i> biofilm matrix
… within the fibre. The ongoing collaboration of molecular microbiology at the University of Dundee and protein biophysics at the University of Edinburgh throughout this project has also led to the discovery and characterisation of TasA surface activity and preliminary investigations of the …

Deconstructing Ihf-Mediated Inhibition of the Complex acs Promoter
… complex. This work was published in Molecular Microbiology.</p><p>I furthered this research, obtaining evidence that IHF III is actually a composite site consisting of two overlapping IHF sites that sit on opposing faces of the DNA helix. This composite appears to behave as a …

Nutritional aspects and gut microbiota in paediatric inflammatory bowel disease
… diet. Bacterial diversity was assessed with molecular microbiology techniques, and bacterial metabolites were measured in serial stool samples and correlated with faecal calprotectin levels, systemic inflammatory markers and clinical activity. A single stool sample was collected from their …

Performance and microbial community structure of Midwestern groundwater pretreatment reactors
Biological ammonia oxidation has received considerable industry research recently as water utilities seek to minimize chlorine demand and potential disinfection byproduct formation. Many plants are forced to chlorinate before primary filtration in order to meet disinfection requirements, so a …

Insights into communities, metabolic and ecological potential of the bacteria of two extreme acidic environments
This work examines the microbial communities in two extremely acidic habitats:the terrestrial environment of the Paint Pots Mound (Kootenay National Park, BritishColumbia, Canada) and the sediments of an ultra-acidic lake in the Smoking Hills (CapeBathurst, Northwest Territories, Canada) area. …

Active Insulin Analogs That Do Not Require Refrigeration
Due primarily to hydrophobic interactions between nonpolar amino acid residues, molecules of insulin tend to interact with each other and undergo fibrillation to form linear aggregates when partially unfolded. Formation of these insulin fibrils significantly decreases insulin stability and …

Threat of Carbapenem Resistant Enterobacteriaceae and the Rise of Antibiotic Resistance
Antibiotic resistance is no new phenomenon. Evidenced by the presence of intrinsic resistance, microbes have had mechanisms to subvert antimicrobials for a very long time. Improper and poor use of antibiotics has further exacerbated the prevalence of antibiotic resistance in the microbial world, …

QUANTITATIVE ANALYSIS OF AGGREGATIBACTER ACTINOMYCETEMCOMITANS IN DENTAL PLAQUE SAMPLES OF MOROCCAN SCHOOL CHILDREN WITH AND WITHOUT PERIODONTITIS
Objectives: Microbial infection and the host response to the infection play a significant role in the etiology of periodontal diseases. Previous studies reported a relatively high prevalence of periodontitis among adolescents in Morocco. The importance of the composition of subgingival plaque and …

Probing the organisation of the TatC component in the Tat system of <i>Escherichia coli</i>
The Tat protein export system transports folded proteins across the bacterial cytoplasmic membrane and the plant thylakoid membrane. In Escherichia coli, the Tat system is composed of the TatA, TatB and TatC proteins. TatB and TatC assemble into a multimeric receptor complex that recognises and …
