A curated set of 81 proven and 44 predicted lipoproteins of Escherichia coli K-12 was defined with the combined use of a literature survey, a variety of predictive tools and human expertise. The well-documented Gram-negative proteome of E. coli K-12 was chosen to assess how the different approaches complement each other and to ensure a stable definition of a consistent set of lipoproteins. The results of detailed analysis of such proteins at the level of a single proteome are presented, corroborated and rationalized.

Carbapenemase producing (CPEs) represent a group of multidrug resistant pathogens for which few, if any, therapeutics options remain available. CPEs generally harbor plasmids that encode resistance to last resort carbapenems and many other antibiotics. We previously performed a high throughput screen to identify compounds that can disrupt the maintenance and replication of resistance conferring plasmids through use of a synthetic screening plasmid introduced into K-12 cells.

Article Synopsis
  • Mapping where genes start transcribing and measuring their activity can be tough, even in well-studied organisms.
  • This study introduces Cappable-seq RNA sequencing data for the K-12 MG1655 strain after exposure to three different antibiotics.
  • The results could help identify more transcription start sites, potentially giving better insights into how genes are expressed in this model organism.

Unlabelled: The composition of bacterial transcriptomes is determined by the transcriptional regulatory network (TRN). The TRN regulates the transition from one physiological state to another. Here, we use independent component analysis to monitor the composition of the transcriptome during the transition from the exponential growth phase to the stationary phase.

The biological effects of electromagnetic field (EMF) irradiation in the terahertz (THz) range remain ambiguous, despite numerous studies that have been conducted. In this paper, the metabolic response of K 12 to EMF irradiation was examined using a 1.0 W m incident synchrotron source (SS) in the range of 0.

Antimicrobial Activity of Melanin Isolated from Wine Waste.

Indian J Microbiol

December 2024

Laboratory of BAS Purification and Certification, SPC "Armbiotechnology" Scientific and Production Center, National Academy of Science, Yerevan, Republic of Armenia.

Melanins have immense application potential in the fields of agriculture, cosmetics and pharmaceutical industries. To determine the antimicrobial properties of melanin, conditionally pathogenic bacteria, belonging to different taxonomic groups were used. The results have shown that melanin solution exhibited bacteriostatic or bactericide activity depending on test culture and melanin concentration.
