Thioredoxin Reductase Is Essential for Thiol/Disulfide Redox Control and Oxidative Stress Survival of the Anaerobe Bacteroides fragilis
Rocha, Edson R.; Tzianabos, Arthur O.; Smith, C. Jeffrey (East Carolina University, 2007-11)Results of this study showed that the anaerobic, opportunistic pathogen Bacteroides fragilis lacks the glutathione/glutaredoxin redox system and possesses an extensive number of putative thioredoxin (Trx) orthologs. ... -
Transcriptional Analysis of the Bacteroides fragilis Starch Utilization Operon, osuA
Brock, Megan Elizabeth (East Carolina University, 2011)The opportunistic pathogen Bacteroides fragilis is a symbiotic organism that inhabits the human gastrointestinal tract where it utilizes dietary and host-derived polysaccharides as carbon and energy sources. If abdominal ... -
The Transfer Origin for Bacteroides Mobilizable Transposon Tn4555 Is Related to a Plasmid Family from Gram-Positive Bacteria
Smith, C. Jeffrey; Parker, Anita C. (East Carolina University, 1998-01)Conjugal transfer of Bacteroides mobilizable transposon Tn4555 was examined with an Escherichia coli-based assay system. It was shown that mobilization required the cis-acting oriTTn region and that the Tn4555 mobATn gene ... -
