Open AccessValidating a common tick survey method: cloth-dragging and line transects
Cloth-dragging is the most widely-used method for collecting and counting ticks, but there are few studies of its reliability. By using cloth-dragging, we applied a replicated line transects survey method, in ...

Open AccessBorrelia burgdorferi sensu lato in Ixodes ricinus ticks from Norway: evaluation of a PCR test targeting the chromosomal flaB gene
A consensus TaqMan real-time PCR test targeting the chromosomal flaB gene of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato was constructed. The test was compared with a recently published generic Light Upon eXtension (LUX) 16S...

Clear-cutting affects the ammonia-oxidising community differently in limed and non-limed coniferous forest soils
The effects of clear-cutting on the ammonia-oxidising bacterial community were studied in the soil of limed and non-limed spruce forest plots located in the central part of southern Sweden. The communities wer...

Characterization of the molybdate transport system ModABC of Staphylococcus carnosus
Transposon mutagenesis of Staphylococcus carnosus led to the identification of three genes, modABC, which encode an ABC transporter that is involved in molybdate transport. It was shown by [14C]palmitate labelin...

Cloning, sequencing, and characterization of a gene (narT) encoding a transport protein involved in dissimilatory nitrate reduction inStaphylococcus carnosus
A Tn917 mutant ofStaphylococcus carnosus TM300, nrIII, was isolated and characterized. Mutant nrIII did not take up nitrate or accumulate nitrite when grown in B-medium supplemented with up to 10 mM nitrate under...

A Fibronectin Binding Protein from Staphylococcus Aureus and its Role in Bacterial Adherence
Fibronectin is a large glycoprotein (Mr = 420 – 480 k) found in the extracellular matrix and in body fluids. In the monomeric form the glycoprotein is composed of two similar polypeptides linked together at the C...
