Genomic-assisted determination of the natural nutrient requirements of the cosmopolitan marine bacterium 'Candidatus Pelagibacter ubique'

Creator:

Tripp, H. James

Abstract:

To identify factors limiting 'Candidatus Pelagibacter ubique' maximum cell density and growth rate in pure culture on seawater, the genome sequence of 'Cand. P. ubique' was analyzed, culturing experiments with organic and inorganic nutrient additions were made, and radiotracer uptake experiments were performed. The genome was sequenced, custom data mining...

Mechanisms for the interaction of environmental mycobacteria with host cells

Creator:

Harriff, Melanie J.

Abstract:

Environmental mycobacteria are important opportunistic pathogens for many hosts, including humans, cattle, and fish. Two well-studied species are Mycobacterium avium subsp. avium, a significant cause of disseminated bacterial disease in patients with AIDS, and Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis, the cause of Johne’s disease in cattle. Many other species that are...
