  • Analysis of Bacteroidales 16S rRNA gene sequences from a geographically isolated human population

    Creator:
    Petersen, Carolyn A.
    Abstract:
    Standard methods of measuring fecal pollution in water do not distinguish between human and non-human sources. Molecular technology enabled the development of host-specific markers that distinguish fecal sources. Human specific PCR primers, HF183F and HF134F, were designed based on phylogenetic analyses of partial 16S rRNA gene sequences from the Bacteroidales...

  • Identification of an aerotaxis transducer in Vibrio cholerae

    Creator:
    Boin, Markus A.
    Abstract:
    The ability to move towards favorable environmental conditions, called chemotaxis, is common among motile bacteria. In particular aerotaxis has been extensively studied in Escherichia coli. Three putative aer gene homologs were identified in the V. cholerae genome designated VCAer-1 (VC0512) VCAer-2 (VCA0658), and VCAer-3 (VCA0988). Deletion analyses indicated that only...

  • Quorum sensing gene regulation in Pseudomonas aeruginosa

    Creator:
    Gupta, Rashmi
    Abstract:
    Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic human pathogen that infects immunocompromised individuals such as those suffering from burns or the genetic disorder cystic fibrosis. This organism utilizes a cell-cell communication mechanism known as quorum sensing (QS) to coordinate virulence gene expression and biofilm formation. It has three interconnected QS systems, namely...
