Functions Required for Extracellular Quinolone Signaling by Pseudomonas aeruginosa
(East Carolina University, 2002-12)
A set of 30 mutants exhibiting reduced production of the phenazine poison pyocyanin were isolated following transposon mutagenesis of Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1. The mutants could be subdivided into those with defects in ...
What Constitutes an Extended-Spectrum beta-lactamase?
(East Carolina University, 2002-02)
Aerobic-Type Ribonucleotide Reductase in the Anaerobe Bacteroides fragilis
(East Carolina University, 2002-02)
Bacteroides fragilis, a component of the normal intestinal flora, is an obligate anaerobe capable of long-term survival in the presence of air. Survival is attributed to an elaborate oxidative stress response that controls ...
Autolysis and Autoaggregation in Pseudomonas aeruginosa Colony Morphology Mutants
(East Carolina University, 2002-12)
Two distinctive colony morphologies were noted in a collection of Pseudomonas aeruginosa transposon insertion mutants. One set of mutants formed wrinkled colonies of autoaggregating cells. Suppressor analysis of a subset ...
Deficiency of a Sinorhizobium meliloti bacA Mutant in Alfalfa Symbiosis Correlates with Alteration of the Cell Envelope
(East Carolina University, 2002-10)
The BacA protein is essential for the long-term survival of Sinorhizobium meliloti and Brucella abortus within acidic compartments in plant and animal cells, respectively. Since both the S. meliloti and B. abortus bacA ...
