Survival of Co-Cultured with spp. in Aerobic Conditions.

and are responsible for the two major foodborne zoonotic diseases in Europe; poultry is the main infection source. cannot grow under aerobic conditions, but can show aerobic survival when co-cultured with other microorganisms; however, its interaction with has not been studied yet. In this study, these two bacteria were co-cultured under controlled aerobic conditions.

Effects of Wi-Fi Radiofrequency Radiation on Carbapenem-Resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae.

The hazardous consequences of electromagnetic field (EMF) exposure represent a public health concern. Common sources of EMF include smartphones and wireless fidelity (Wi-Fi). The aim of our study is to assess whether exposure to Wi-Fi radiofrequency radiation influences the pathogenic traits of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae.

Effect of monolayer lipid charges on the structure and orientation of protein VAMP1 at the air-water interface.

SNARE proteins are implicated in membrane fusion during neurotransmission and peptide hormone secretion. Relatively little is known about the molecular interactions of their trans- and juxtamembrane domains with lipid membranes. Here, we report the structure and the assembling behavior of one of the SNARE proteins, VAMP1/synaptobrevin1 incorporated in a lipid monolayer at an air-water interface which mimics the membrane environment.

Reversible transition between alpha-helix and beta-sheet conformation of a transmembrane domain.

Despite the important functions of protein transmembrane domains, their structure and dynamics are often scarcely known. The SNARE proteins VAMP/synaptobrevin and syntaxin 1 are implicated in membrane fusion. Using different spectroscopic approaches we observed a marked sensitivity of their transmembrane domain structure in regard to the lipid/peptide ratio.
