With Tatum he published "Gene Recombination in Escherichia coli" (1946), in which he reported that the mixing of two different strains of a bacterium resulted in genetic recombination between them and thus to a new, crossbred strain of the bacterium.
Assessment of serological responses to the bacterium resulted in a classification in serovars [ 2].
It was concluded that the decomposition of OM by aerobic bacteria results in oxygen depletion, which then favors metabolic conversion of sulfates to sulfides by anaerobic bacteria.
Evolution in bacteria results in the development of various complex resistance mechanisms to neutralize the bactericidal effect of antibiotics, like drug amelioration, target modification, membrane permeability reduction, and drug extrusion through efflux pumps.
Treatment with both cytochalasin D (blocking internalization) and lysostaphin (degrading external bacteria) results in complete elimination of bacteria (figure 1D).
In contrast, the loss of flagella in flgE mutant bacteria results in lower total uptake by alveolar macrophages when compared to wild-type PA01 bacteria.
Overexpression of CcrM in these bacteria results in the accumulation of multiple chromosomes, indicative of overinitiation of DNA replication [56], [57].
However, since PTP activity could be regulated by post-translational modifications that are not present in protein expressed in bacteria, results depend on the expression system used [23].
Toxigenic conversion of Vibrio cholerae bacteria results from the integration of a filamentous phage, CTXϕ.
We believe that the colonization of the other bacteria results from the influence of CHX.
