FEMS microbiology letters

Caine M, Zuchuat S, Weber A, Ducret V, Linder P, Perron K.
PMID: 26391525
FEMS Microbiol Lett. 2015 Oct;362(20). doi: 10.1093/femsle/fnv171. Epub 2015 Sep 20.

The contribution of microbiology to the scientific advances of modern experimental biology has very often made the difference. Despite this, its role as an independent discipline has slowly started to fade away. This situation has been worsening due to...

The endolysin from the Enterococcus faecalis bacteriophage VD13 and conditions stimulating its lytic activity.

FEMS microbiology letters

Swift SM, Rowley DT, Young C, Franks A, Hyman P, Donovan DM.
PMID: 27634307
FEMS Microbiol Lett. 2016 Oct 01;363(19). doi: 10.1093/femsle/fnw216.

Bacteriophages produce endolysins (peptidoglycan hydrolases) to lyse the host cell from within and release nascent bacteriophage particles. Recombinant endolysins can lyse Gram-positive bacteria when added exogenously. As a potential alternative antimicrobial, we cloned and expressed the enterococcal VD13 bacteriophage...

Purification, characterization, and function analysis of an extracellular ß-glucosidase from elongating stipe cell walls in Coprinopsis cinerea.

Role of sortase A in the pathogenesis of Staphylococcus aureus-induced mastitis in mice.

FEMS microbiology letters

Chen F, Liu B, Wang D, Wang L, Deng X, Bi C, Xiong Y, Wu Q, Cui Y, Zhang Y, Li X, Wang Y, Liu B, Cao Y.
PMID: 24330077
FEMS Microbiol Lett. 2014 Feb;351(1):95-103. doi: 10.1111/1574-6968.12354. Epub 2014 Jan 22.

Sortase A (SrtA), a transpeptidase, anchors surface proteins with an LPXTG-motif sorting signal to the cell envelope. To determine the role of SrtA in the pathogenesis of Staphylococcus aureus, we constructed a mutant strain, ∆SrtA, by genetic techniques and...

Mutation of FVS1, encoding a protein with a sterile alpha motif domain, affects asexual reproduction in the fungal plant pathogen Fusarium oxysporum.

FEMS microbiology letters

Iida Y, Fujiwara K, Yoshioka Y, Tsuge T.
PMID: 24330129
FEMS Microbiol Lett. 2014 Feb;351(1):104-112. doi: 10.1111/1574-6968.12356. Epub 2014 Jan 06.

Fusarium oxysporum produces three kinds of asexual spores: microconidia, macroconidia and chlamydospores. We previously analysed expressed sequence tags during vegetative growth and conidiation in F. oxysporum and found 42 genes that were markedly upregulated during conidiation compared to vegetative...

Using self-assessment to develop metacognition and self-regulated learners.

FEMS microbiology letters

Siegesmund A.
PMID: 28498982
FEMS Microbiol Lett. 2017 Jun 15;364(11). doi: 10.1093/femsle/fnx096.

Student success is too often challenged by a lack of metacognition and ability to self-regulate learning. This commentary argues that the use of self-assessment to increase student metacognition positively impacts student learning and self-regulation. In addition, several strategies for...

Plasmodium falciparum single-stranded DNA-binding protein (PfSSB) interacts with PfPrex helicase and modulates its activity.

FEMS microbiology letters

Bhowmick K, Dhar SK.
PMID: 24267922
FEMS Microbiol Lett. 2014 Feb;351(1):78-87. doi: 10.1111/1574-6968.12343. Epub 2013 Dec 11.

Plasmodium falciparum (Pf) apicoplast is an essential organelle harbouring a ~35-kb circular genome. Prokaryotic nature of this organelle and its components makes it an attractive therapeutic target. The single-stranded DNA-binding protein (SSB) and multidomain protein PfPrex are important apicoplast...

Investigations on a hyper-proteolytic mutant of Beauveria bassiana: broad substrate specificity and high biotechnological potential of a serine protease.

FEMS microbiology letters

Borgi I, Gargouri A.
PMID: 24267723
FEMS Microbiol Lett. 2014 Feb;351(1):23-31. doi: 10.1111/1574-6968.12339. Epub 2013 Dec 11.

A new strain of Beauveria bassiana was identified on the basis of the 18S rRNA gene sequence homology. This strain, called P2, is a spontaneously arisen mutant that was isolated after successive sub-culturing the wild-type B. bassiana P1 strain....

Induction of L-phenylalanine ammonia-lyase and suppression of veratryl alcohol biosynthesis by exogenously added L-phenylalanine in a white-rot fungus phanerochaete chrysosporium.

FEMS microbiology letters

Hattori T, Nishiyama A, Shimada M.
PMID: 10518730
FEMS Microbiol Lett. 1999 Oct 15;179(2):305-9. doi: 10.1111/j.1574-6968.1999.tb08742.x.

The effects of exogenously added L-phenylalanine (L-Phe) on the activities of L-phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL) and 3, 4-dimethoxybenzyl alcohol (veratryl alcohol, VA) biosynthesis in ligninolytic cultures of Phanerochaete chrysosporium were investigated. Increasing PAL activity was detected in low nitrogen (LN)...

The induction of sporulation in the aquatic fungus blastocladiella emersonii is dependent on extracellular calcium.

FEMS microbiology letters

Coutinho EC, Correa LC.
PMID: 10518737
FEMS Microbiol Lett. 1999 Oct 15;179(2):353-9. doi: 10.1111/j.1574-6968.1999.tb08749.x.

Induction of sporulation in Blastocladiella emersonii is absolutely dependent on extracellular calcium. Vegetative cells grown in media with or without calcium do not sporulate in media devoid of calcium or in CaCl(2) with EGTA. Calcium channel blockers, CoCl(2) and...
