Kozik Role of GlnR in Controlling Expression of Nitrogen Metabolism Genes in Listeria monocytogenes L. monocytogenes is a widespread foodborne pathogen. Nitrogen-containing compounds, such as the glutamate-containing tripeptide, glutathione, and glutamine, have been shown to be important for expression of L. monocytogenes virulence genes. In this work, we showed that a transcriptional regulator,... Rajesh Biswas, Abraham L. Sonenshein, Boris R. Belitsky The Versatile Pseudomonas aeruginosa Biofilm Matrix Protein CdrA Promotes Aggregation through Different Extracellular Exopolysaccharide Interactions Depending upon the strain, Pseudomonas aeruginosa can use different exopolysaccharides (e.g., Psl, Pel, and alginate) to build its biofilm matrix. Previously, we demonstrated that the biofilm matrix protein CdrA binds to Psl, promoting biofilm formation and aggregate stability. As such, it was thought that CdrA might be important for biofilm assembly only in strains... Courtney Reichhardt, Holly M. Jacobs, Michael Matwichuk, Cynthis Wong, Daniel J. Wozniak, Matthew R. Parsek Functional Characterization of the Pseudomonas aeruginosa Ribosome Hibernation-Promoting Factor In most environments, bacteria experience conditions where nutrients may be readily abundant or where nutrients are limited. Under nutrient limitation conditions, even non-spore-forming bacteria may enter a dormant state. Dormancy is accompanied by a variety of cellular physiological changes that are required for the cells to remain viable during dormancy and to resuscitate when nutrients become available. Among the physiological... Michael J. Franklin, Elizabeth Sandvik, Sila Yanardag, Kerry S. Williamson Structural Visualization of Septum Formation in Staphylococcus warneri Using Atomic Force Microscopy This work shows that the septum of Staphylococcus warneri is composed of two layers and that the peptidoglycan on the inner surface of the double-layered septum is organized into concentric rings. Moreover, new cell cycles of S. warneri can be initiated before the previous cell cycle is complete. This work advances our knowledge about a basic structure of... Hai-Nan Su, Kang Li, Long-Sheng Zhao, Xiao-Xue Yuan, Meng-Yao Zhang, Si-Min Liu, Xiu-Lan Chen, Lu-Ning Liu, Yu-Zhong Zhang Characterization of the Exopolysaccharide Biosynthesis Pathway in Myxococcus xanthus The secreted polysaccharide referred to as exopolysaccharide (EPS) has important functions in the social life cycle of M. xanthus; however, little is known about how EPS is synthesized. Here, we characterized the EPS biosynthetic machinery and showed that it makes up a Wzx/Wzy-dependent pathway for polysaccharide biosynthesis. Mutants lacking a component of this... María Pérez-Burgos, Inmaculada García-Romero, Jana Jung, Eugenia Schander, Miguel A. Valvano, Lotte Søgaard-Andersen Identification of the Pseudomonas aeruginosa O17 and O15 O-Specific Antigen Biosynthesis Loci Reveals an ABC Transporter-Dependent Synthesis Pathway and Mechanisms of Genetic Diversity P. aeruginosa is a problematic opportunistic pathogen that causes diseases in those with compromised host defenses, such as those suffering from cystic fibrosis. This bacterium produces a number of virulence factors, including a serotype-specific O antigen. Here, we identified and characterized the gene clusters that produce the O15 and O17 O antigens and show that... Steven M. Huszczynski, Youai Hao, Joseph S. Lam, Cezar M. Khursigara The (p)ppGpp Synthetase RSH Mediates Stationary-Phase Onset and Antibiotic Stress Survival in Clostridioides difficile Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) is an urgent public health threat with a high recurrence rate, in part because the causative bacterium has a high rate of antibiotic survival. The (p)ppGpp-mediated bacterial stringent response plays a role in antibiotic tolerance in diverse pathogens and is a potential target for development of new antimicrobials because the... Astha Pokhrel, Asia Poudel, Kory B. Castro, Michael J. Celestine, Adenrele Oludiran, Alden J. Rinehold, Anthony M. Resek, Mariam A. Mhanna, Erin B. PurcellJournal of Bacteriology (JB) publishes research articles that probe fundamental processes in bacteria, archaea, and their viruses and the molecular mechanisms by which they interact with each other and with their hosts and their environments.For Authors
