Cappable-seq RNA-sequencing data sets of K-12 MG1655 treated with novobiocin, tetracycline, and rifampicin.

Mapping transcription start sites and determining their activity remain a challenging task even for well-studied organisms. Here, we present Cappable-seq RNA sequencing data of K-12 MG1655 after treatment with three antibiotics with various spectra of action that may expand the range of mapped transcription start sites for this model organism.

The Cultivation of Halophilic Microalgae Shapes the Structure of Their Prokaryotic Assemblages.

The influence of microalgae on the formation of associated prokaryotic assemblages in halophilic microbial communities is currently underestimated. The aim of this study was to characterize shifts in prokaryotic assemblages of halophilic microalgae upon their transition to laboratory cultivation. Monoalgal cultures belonging to the classes Chlorodendrophyceae, Bacillariophyceae, Trebouxiophyceae, and Chlorophyceae were isolated from habitats with intermediate salinity, about 100 g/L, nearby Elton Lake (Russia).

Differential expression of quick-to-court gene isoforms in Drosophila male and female.

The quick-to-court (qtc) gene is expressed in both males and females but affects only the mating behavior of males, probably due to the different composition of isoforms between the sexes. We tested this hypothesis and examined the sex-specific expression of qtc transcripts in the tissues of male and female Oregon-R flies. It was found that some qtc transcripts, such as qtc-RM and qtc-RN, are testis-specific, while others like qtc-RH are found in ovaries but absent in testes.

Genomics and taxonomy of the glyphosate-degrading, copper-tolerant rhizospheric bacterium Achromobacter insolitus LCu2.

A rhizosphere strain, Achromobacter insolitus LCu2, was isolated from alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) roots. It was able to degrade of 50% glyphosate as the sole phosphorus source, and was found resistant to 10 mM copper (II) chloride, and 5 mM glyphosate-copper complexes.

Microbial tapestry of the Shulgan-Tash cave (Southern Ural, Russia): influences of environmental factors on the taxonomic composition of the cave biofilms.

Background: Cave biotopes are characterized by stable low temperatures, high humidity, and scarcity of organic substrates. Despite the harsh oligotrophic conditions, they are often inhabited by rich microbial communities. Abundant fouling with a wide range of morphology and coloration of colonies covers the walls of the Shulgan-Tash cave in the Southern Urals.

Unexpected ubiquity of heart-shaped scale morphotype in Centroplasthelida (Haptista): Ancestral trait or multiple acquisitions?

Centrohelids (Haptista: Centroplasthelida) are axopodial protists with a remarkable diversity of external siliceous scale morphologies. It is believed that the last common ancestor of centrohelids had a double layer of siliceous scales composed of plate scales closer to a cell surface and spine scales radiating outwards. The characteristic morphotype of spine scales with a heart-shaped base was once believed to be a unique feature of the genus Choanocystis, as it was defined by Siemensma and Roijackers (1988).

Cappable-Seq Reveals Specific Patterns of Metabolism and Virulence for Typhimurium Intracellular Survival within .

The bacterial pathogen , which causes enteritis, has a broad host range and extensive environmental longevity. In water and soil, Salmonella interacts with protozoa and multiplies inside their phagosomes. Although this relationship resembles that between and mammalian phagocytes, the interaction mechanisms and bacterial genes involved are unclear.

Rye Snow Mold-Associated Strains Inhabiting a Common Area: Variability in Genetics, Morphotype, Extracellular Enzymatic Activities, and Virulence.

Snow mold is a severe plant disease caused by psychrophilic or psychrotolerant fungi, of which species are the most harmful. A clear understanding of biology has many gaps; the pathocomplex and its dynamic are poorly characterized, virulence factors are unknown, genome sequences are not available, and the criteria of plant snow mold resistance are not elucidated. Our study aimed to identify comprehensive characteristics of a local community of snow mold-causing species colonizing a particular crop culture.

Dataset for transcriptome analysis of subsp. serovar Typhimurium strain 14028S response to starvation.

is an ubiquitous pathogen throughout the world causing gastroenteritis in humans and animals. Survival of pathogenic bacteria in the external environment may be associated with the ability to overcome the stress caused by starvation. The bacterial response to starvation is well understood in laboratory cultures with a sufficiently high cell density.

Transcriptomic data of subsp. serovar Typhimurium str. 14028S treated with novobiocin.

In enteric bacteria, DNA supercoiling is highly responsive to environmental conditions. Host specific features of environment serve as cues for the expression of genes required for colonization of host niches via changing supercoiling [1]. It has been shown that substitution at position 87 of GyrA of str.

Dataset for transcriptome analysis of abscisic acid degrading bacterium sp. P6W.

Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) improve plant productivity and stress resistance. The mechanisms involved in plant-microbe interactions include the modulation of plant hormone status. The sp.
