The phase variation between wrinkly and smooth colony phenotype affects the virulence of Vibrio parahaemolyticus
Vibrio parahaemolyticus , the causative agent of seafood-associated gastroenteritis, undergoes wrinkly and smooth colony switching on the plate. The...

The Wsp chemosensory system modulates c-di-GMP-dependent biofilm formation by integrating DSF quorum sensing through the WspR-RpfG complex in Lysobacter
The ubiquitous Wsp (wrinkly spreader phenotype) chemosensory system and DSF (diffusible signal factor) quorum sensing are two important chemically...

Bacterial c-di-GMP has a key role in establishing host–microbe symbiosis
Most microbes evolve faster than their hosts and should therefore drive evolution of host–microbe interactions. However, relatively little is known...

Hampered motility promotes the evolution of wrinkly phenotype in Bacillus subtilis
BackgroundSelection for a certain trait in microbes depends on the genetic background of the strain and the selection pressure of the environmental...

Rubiaceae
Perennial wetland herb with thin, richly branched rhizomes. Stem slender, decumbent to ascending, smooth, 20–60 cm high. Leaves 4–6 per whorl,...

Bacterial–fungal interactions promote parallel evolution of global transcriptional regulators in a widespread Staphylococcus species
Experimental studies of microbial evolution have largely focused on monocultures of model organisms, but most microbes live in communities where...

Eco-evolutionary interaction between microbiome presence and rapid biofilm evolution determines plant host fitness
Microbiomes are important to the survival and reproduction of their hosts. Although ecological and evolutionary processes can happen simultaneously...

Identification of a novel intronic variant of ATP6V0A2 in a Han-Chinese family with cutis laxa
BackgroundCutis laxa is a connective tissue disease caused by abnormal synthesis or secretion of skin elastic fibers, leading to skin flabby and...

Myrciaria caerulescens (Myrtaceae), a new fruiting species from the Espinhaço Range, Brazil, with historical notes on Myrciaria guaquiea
This study proposes Myrciaria caerulescens as a new species from the Espinhaço Range, in the northeastern Brazilian state of Bahia. The new taxon is...

Cokeromyces recurvatus Incidentally Found in a Patient with Gastric Outlet Obstruction
Isolation of Cokeromyces recurvatus , a dimorphic mucormycete fungus, from clinical specimens poses a diagnostic challenge to physicians and...

Autosomal recessive cutis laxa type 1C with a homozygous LTBP4 splicing variant: a case report and update of literature
BackgroundAutosomal recessive cutis laxa (ARCL) is a heterogeneous disorder with three primary forms (ARCL 1, ARCL 2 and ARCL 3). Latent transforming...

Comprehensive Survey of ChIP-Seq Datasets to Identify Candidate Iron Homeostasis Genes Regulated by Chromatin Modifications
Vital biochemical reactions including photosynthesis to respiration require iron, which should be tightly regulated. Although increasing evidence...

Natural history and morphology of immature stages of Tolype medialis (Jones, 1912) (Lepidoptera: Lasiocampidae: Macromphaliinae)
Lasiocampidae belongs to superfamily Lasiocampoidea and contains more than a thousand species nearly distributed worldwide. Despite the great...

“Sharing the matrix” – a cooperative strategy for survival in Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium
BackgroundBacteria in nature live together in communities called biofilms, where they produce a matrix that protects them from hostile environments....

Emergence of a Synergistic Diversity as a Response to Competition in Pseudomonas putida Biofilms
Genetic diversification through the emergence of variants is one of the known mechanisms enabling the adaptation of bacterial communities. We focused...

Adaptation and phenotypic diversification of Bacillus thuringiensis biofilm are accompanied by fuzzy spreader morphotypes
Bacillus cereus group ( Bacillus cereus sensu lato ) has a diverse ecology, including various species that produce biofilms on abiotic and biotic...

Earlier parasite arrival reduces the repeatability of host adaptive radiation
Although parasites are known to have various effects on their hosts, we know little about their role in the assembly of diversifying host...

The Pel polysaccharide is predominantly composed of a dimeric repeat of α-1,4 linked galactosamine and N-acetylgalactosamine
The genetic capacity to synthesize the biofilm matrix exopolysaccharide Pel is widespread among Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria. However,...

Insight into morphological and molecular variations across Iranian spinach landraces
Spinach is salt-tolerant leafy vegetable stemmed from central Asia. It has been well adapted to different climates of Iran. We aimed to study genetic...
