Predictive calculations for phage therapy dosing should be useful toward rational development of therapeutic as well as biocontrol products. Here, I consider the theoretical basis of a number of concepts relevant to phage dosing for phage therapy including minimum inhibitory concentration (but also "inundation threshold"), minimum bactericidal concentration (but also "clearance threshold"), decimal reduction time (D value), time until bacterial eradication, threshold bacterial density necessary to support phage population grow...

The extreme conditions of the Tinto basin are not the product of industrial contamination but the consequence of the presence of an underground bioreactor that obtains its energy from the massive sulfide minerals of the IPB.

In hypersaline water of solar salterns, the black yeast Hortaea werneckii is by far the most successful fungal representative. It has an outstanding ability to overcome the turgor loss and sodium toxicity that are typical for hypersaline environments, which facilitates its growth even in solutions that are almost saturated with NaCl. We propose a model of cellular responses to high salt concentrations that integrates the current knowledge of H. werneckii adaptations. The negative impact of a hyperosmolar environment is counteracted by an increase in the en...

However, in response to safety concerns, there is now desire to reduce the use of these additives. The resistance to these compounds displayed by spoilage yeasts and fungi is a major reason why these preservatives often have to be used in millimolar levels. This chapter summarizes the mechanisms whereby yeasts are rendered resistant to acetate, propionate, sorbate, and benzoate. In baker's yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae), resistance to high acetic acid is acquired partly by loss of the plasma membrane aquaglyceroporin that facilitates the passive diffusional entry of undissociated acid into cells (Fps1), and partly through a transcriptional response mediated by the tran...

The increasing use of silver NPs in modern materials ensures they will find their way into environmental systems. The mode of action which makes them desirable as an antimicrobial tool could also pose a severe threat to the natural microbial balance existing in these systems. Research into the potential environmental threats of silver NPs has mainly focused on particular areas, such as their influence in rivers and estuaries or their effect on organisms such as earthworms and plants. There is a need to focus studies on all aspects of the microbial world and to highlight potential risks and methods of overcoming problems before significant ...

This complex life cycle, involving different interactions with different invertebrate hosts, coupled with the amenability of the system to laboratory culture has resulted in the development of Photorhabdus as a model system for studying bacterial-host interactions. Photorhabdus is predicted to have an extensive secondary metabolism with the genetic potential to produce >20 different small secondary metabolites. Therefore, this system also presents us with a unique opportunity to study the contribution of secondary metabolism to the environmental fitness of the producing orga...

This adaptation requires both anticipation of the changing conditions, which is accomplished by daily rhythmicity of gene expression brought about by the circadian clock, and reaction to sudden illumination. Besides perception of the light signal, also integration of this signal with other environmental cues, most importantly nutrient availability, necessitates light-dependent regulation of signal transduction pathways and metabolic pathways. An influence of light and/or the circadian clock is known for the cAMP pathway, heterotrimeric G-protein signaling, mitogen-activated protein kina...

Despite all recent advances in molecular techniques, this parameter is usually determined by fluorescence microscopy. In order to obtain reliable and reproducible results, it is important not just to focus on the actual cell enumeration but also to consider the entire chain of processing. Starting with the retrieval of the sample, over subsampling and sample processing to the final step of fluorescence microscopy, there are many potential sources of contamination that have to be assessed and, if possible, avoided. Because some degree of sample contamination will always occur, it is necessary to employ some form of contamination contro...

It has been proposed that OMVs are involved in several of the social behaviors exhibited by the myxobacteria, including motility and predation. Proteomic data suggest that specific proteins are either selectively incorporated into or excluded from myxobacterial OMVs, as observed for OMVs of other organisms. Hydrolases are found in large numbers in OMVs, which then transport them to target bacteria. Fusion of OMVs with the OM of Gram-negative cells, or lysis of OMVs next to Gram-positive bacteria, is thought to deliver hydrolases to target cells, causing their lysis. The model myxobacterium Myxococcus xanth...

How nitrification and denitrification are affected by proximal and distal controls has been studied extensively in the past. The importance of the underlying microbial communities, however, has been acknowledged only recently. Particularly, the application of molecular methods to study nitrifiers and denitrifiers directly in their habitats enabled addressing how environmental factors influence the diversity, community composition, and size of these functional groups in soils and whether this is of relevance for their functioning and N(2)O production.

Biological hydrogen production represents a renewable source of the gas and can be performed by a diverse range of microorganisms from strict anaerobic bacteria to eukaryotic green algae. Compared to conventional methods for generating H(2), biological systems can operate at ambient temperatures and pressures without the need for rare metals and could potentially be coupled to a variety of biotechnological processes ranging from desalination and waste water treatment to pharmaceutical production.

Until relatively recently, the majority of our information on intestinal microbiotas has come from studies on feces, or from aspirates taken from the upper gut. However, there is evidence showing that mucosal bacteria growing in biofilms on surfaces lining the gut differ from luminal populations, and that due to their proximity to the epithelial surface, these organisms may be important in modulating the host's immune system and contributing to some chronic inflammatory diseases. Over the past decade, increasing interest in mucosal bacteria, coupled with advances in molecular approaches for assessing microbial d...

Elucidation of these strategies is crucial for predicting the environmental fate of aromatic pollutants and will provide a framework for the development of engineered bacteria and degradation pathways. In this chapter, we provide an overview of studies that have advanced our knowledge of bacterial adaptation to aromatic compounds. We have divided these strategies into three broad categories: (1) recruitment of catabolic genes, (2) expression of "repair" or detoxification proteins, and (3) direct alteration of enzymatic properties. Specific examples from the literature are discus...

They have been classified as category A pathogens by CDC (centers for disease control and prevention). Hantaviruses pose a serious threat to human health because their infection causes two highly fatal diseases, hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) and hantavirus cardiopulmonary syndrome (HCPS). These pathogens are transmitted to humans through aerosolized excreta of their infected rodent hosts. Hantaviruses have a tripartite-segmented negative-sense RNA genome. The three genomic RNA segments, S, M, and L, encode a nucleocapsid protein (N), a precursor glycoprotein that is processed into two envelope glycoproteins (Gn and Gc) and the viral RNA-depe...

The basic epidemiological observations are; under conditions of intense natural transmission, humans do become immune to P. falciparum malaria, but this is a slow process requiring multiple disease episodes which many, particularly young children, do not survive. Adult survivors are immune to the symptoms of malaria, and unless pregnant, can control the growth of most or all new inoculations. Sterile immunity is not achieved and chronic parasitization of apparently healthy adults is the norm. In this article, we analyse the best understood malaria "antigenic vari...

Their sharp defensive appendages may inject various pathogenic agents into the body of the herbivores by piercing the outer defensive layer of the skin in a type of biological warfare.

The choice of these organisms is based almost exclusively on the high capacity of their secretion systems that are, under the right conditions, able to secrete proteins at grams per liter concentrations. In contrast, there are relatively few examples of Bacillus species being used for the cytoplasmic production of proteins. The range of proteins that are capable of high-level production and secretion is limited by a combination of characteristics of both the target protein and the host bacterium.

Recently, the gut microbiota have been implicated as an environmental factor in health and disease; however, as with all ecosystems, a significant proportion of these microbiota are as yet uncultured. Hence culture-independent molecular-based methods have been applied and have started to provide insights into the microbes in this system. This review explores the recent significant findings in the last 5years in the area of gut microbial ecology. Most significant is the observation that the gut microbiota are dominated by species from the phyla Firmicutes and Bacteroidetes.

There is, however, a complex relationship between the morphology of these microorganisms, transport phenomena, the viscosity of the cultivation broth, and related productivity. The morphological characteristics vary between freely dispersed mycelia and distinct pellets of aggregated biomass, every growth form having a distinct influence on broth rheology.

Under anaerobic conditions, hydrocarbons can be degraded to methane by methanogenic microbial consortia. This degradation process is widespread in the geosphere. In comparison with other anaerobic processes, methanogenic hydrocarbon degradation is more sustainable over geological time scales because replenishment of an exogenous electron acceptor is not required. As a consequence, this process has been responsible for the formation of the world's vast deposits of heavy oil, which far exceed conventional oil assets such as those found in the Middle East. Methanogenic degradation is also a potentially important component of attenuation in hy...

Among those severe symptoms, patients with CNS dysfunction with HUS have a greater chance of getting severe sequelae and mortality than with HUS alone. Autopsy of the CNS shows mostly edema and hypoxic-ischemic changes, often with microhemorrhages. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of brains of patients confirms hemorrhagic component involvement. This suggests the weakening of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) during the disease. Also, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis shows the weakening of the blood-CSF barrier.

The most recent data from the World Health Organization reveal that over 9million new cases of tuberculosis occur each year and that the incidence appears to be increasing with population growth. Despite the global burden of tuberculosis, we are still reliant on relatively dated measures to prevent, diagnose, and treat the disease. New, more effective tools are needed to diminish the incidence of tuberculosis. M. tuberculosis lacks a natural host beyond humans and, hence, surrogate models have been employed in the study of the pathogen.

NAs are ubiquitous; occurring naturally in hydrocarbon deposits (petroleum, oil sands, bitumen, and crude oils) and also have widespread industrial uses. Consequently, NAs can enter the environment from both natural and anthropogenic processes. NAs are highly toxic, recalcitrant compounds that persist in the environment for many years, and it is important to develop efficient bioremediation strategies to decrease both their abundance and toxicity in the environment.

These compounds also have medical applications due to their unique staining and fluorescent properties. The halogenated hydroxyxanthenes exhibit antimicrobial properties that may be useful for reducing or eliminating bacterial pathogens from a variety of environments, including drinking water and food products. Antimicrobial characteristics of Eosin, Erythrosine, Phloxine, and Rose Bengal have been known for many years, but their application as antimicrobial agents has been limited primarily to selective agents in microbiological growth media. The primary mechanism of bacterial inactivation by hydroxyxanthenes is photooxidation. When halogenated hydroxyxanthenes ...

While they are associated with many beneficial functions such as nutrient cycling, bioremediation and colonization resistance, adverse effects including recalcitrance, their involvement in industrial fouling, contamination and infection have made biofilms a priority research topic. We know that most biofilms, other than within certain infections and laboratory flasks, are composed of multiple species and that there is arguably no unifying biofilm architecture.

Species within this genus arose from a natural hybridization event between two yeast species that appear to be closely related to Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Saccharomyces bayanus. The resultant hybrids contain complex allopolyploid genomes and retain genetic characteristics of both parental species. Recent genome analysis using both whole genome sequencing and competitive genomic hybridization techniques has revealed the underlying composition of lager yeasts genomes. There appear to be at least 36 unique chromosomes, many of which are lager specific, resulting from recombination events between the homeologous parental chromosomes.

They can be differentiated into four types depending on their ability to revert to the parental, cell-walled form and to the extent of their cell-wall modification. L-forms are significant in modern science because of their contributions to an improved understanding of principal questions and their interactions with eukaryotes. This review particularly focuses on research using stable protoplast-type L-forms which have contributed to a better understanding of the structural and functional organisation of the cytoplasmic membrane and of cell division.

Prolidase specifically hydrolyzes dipeptides with a prolyl residue in the carboxy terminus (NH(2)-X-/-Pro-COOH). Currently, the only solved structure of prolidase is from the hyperthermophilic archaeon Pyrococcus furiosus. This enzyme is of particular interest because it can be used in many biotechnological applications. Prolidase is able to degrade toxic organophosphorus (OP) compounds, namely, by cleaving the P-F and P-O bonds in the nerve agents, sarin and soman. Applications using prolidase to detoxify OP nerve agents include its incorporation into fire-fighting foams and as biosensors for OP compound detection. Prolidases a...

To understand the pathogenesis and life cycle of KSHV, significant focus has been placed on determining how KSHV factors influence viral and cellular gene expression. The importance of transcriptional regulation by KSHV is well documented, but several KSHV posttranscriptional regulators are also essential for KSHV replication and pathogenesis. KSHV miRNAs regulate translation and stability of cellular mRNAs that may be important for tumorigenesis.

It has been shown that bacteria use different strategies to cope with temperature changes. These strategies are genetically determined and start with registration of the temperature followed by the induction of a subset of genes allowing them to adapt to the stressful situation. Four different mechanisms have evolved termed the high and the low temperature response and the heat and the cold shock response. These temperature changes are registered by three different thermosensors: DNA, RNA and protein.

Assembly of the flagellum is a highly-ordered process, and in most flagellated bacteria the structural genes are expressed in a transcriptional hierarchy that results in the products of these genes being made as they are needed for assembly. Temporal regulation of the flagellar genes is achieved through sophisticated regulatory networks that utilize checkpoints in the flagellar assembly pathway to coordinate expression of flagellar genes. Traditionally, flagellar transcriptional hierarchies are divided into various classes. Class I genes, which are the first genes expressed, encode a master regulator that initiates the transcriptional hierarchy. Th...

This paper will also summarize the different techniques, either molecular, based on nucleic acid and antibody analysis, or nonmolecular such as microscopy, culture, UV Wood';s lamp, radiology, and spectroscopy used to identify species or group of fungi assisting clinicians to take the best control approach to clear such infections. On the molecular side, the paper will review results on genome sequencing which can help colleagues to identify their own DNA/RNA tests if they are interested in the diagnostic of fungi in medicine and veterinary medicine.

The bacterial chemotaxis signal transduction system is the sensory perception system that allows motile cells to respond optimally to changes in environmental conditions by allowing cells to navigate in gradients of diverse physicochemical parameters that can affect their metabolism. The analysis of complete genome sequences from microorganisms that occupy diverse ecological niches reveal the presence of multiple chemotaxis pathways and a great diversity of chemoreceptors with novel sensory specific...

Cutin is a complex biopolymer composed of epoxy and hydroxy fatty acids, and forms the structural component of higher plants cuticle. These enzymes share catalytic properties of lipases and esterases, presenting a unique feature of being active regardless the presence of an oil-water interface, making them interesting as biocatalysts in several industrial processes involving hydrolysis, esterification, and trans-esterification reactions. Cutinases present high stability in organic solvents and ionic liquids, both free and microencapsulated in reverse micelles. These characteristics allow the enzyme appli...

Microorganisms form biofilms on surfaces of stone, with resulting aesthetic and structural damage. The organisms involved are bacteria (including actinomycetes and cyanobacteria), fungi, archaea, algae, and lichens. Interactions between these organisms and stone can enhance or retard the overall rate of degradation. Microorganisms within the stone structure (endoliths) also cause damage. They grow in cracks and pores and may bore into rocks. True endoliths, present within the rock, have been detected in calcareous and some siliceous stone monuments and are predominantly bacterial. The taxonomic groups differ from those found epilithica...

The lack of appreciation of the microbiology of oil reservoirs can lead to detrimental consequences such as souring or plugging. In contrast, knowledge of the microbiology of oil reservoirs can be used to enhance productivity and recovery efficiency. It is clear that (1) nitrate and/or nitrite addition controls H(2)S production, (2) oxygen injection stimulates hydrocarbon metabolism and helps mobilize crude oil, (3) injection of fermentative bacteria and carbohydrates generates large amounts of acids, gases, and solvents that increases oil recovery particularly in carb...
