  • Quorum-sensing-controlled public goods in Pseudomonas aeruginosa : regulation and application

    Creator:
    Mellbye, Brett L.
    Abstract:
    Cell-to-cell communication by chemical signals, termed quorum sensing (QS), is a common regulatory scheme in the microbial world. Pseudomonas aeruginosa¸ an opportunistic pathogen of burn wounds and cystic fibrosis lungs, uses QS to control the expression of hundreds of genes, particularly those necessary for population level benefits such as biofilm...

  • Advances in Freshwater Cyanobacterial Genomics

    Creator:
    Brown, Nathaniel M.
    Abstract:
    Limnology is undergoing a transition to high-throughput -omic analysis of freshwater bacterial communities. An important first step in making the transition is to characterize several genomes that can be used as references to guide metagenome assembly and analysis. Here I characterize four new freshwater cyanobacterial genomes, a pair of lake...
