Cellulose and associated polysaccharides, such as xylans, comprise the major portion of the plant cell wall as structural polymers. As the plants evolved and distributed first in the seas and then on land, following their demise, the accumulated cellulos
Furthermore, we show that the statistics of encounter times between ST and HC—hitting-time statistics—are fully consistent with a random search strategy (RST), implying that encounters are fortuitous events. We use this knowledge to discuss the relation between motility parameters and bacterial ...
behavior, while the heat signals initiate the expression of bacteria lysis proteins which are under the control of a heat-sensitive promoter in the signal process module. Next, the AMF-Bac lyses and releases an immunotherapeutic drug, anti-CD47 nanobody (CD47nb), that is pre-expressed and sto...
Degradation of casein, the major milk protein, is dependent on a cell wall-associated proteinase; this protease hydrolyzes casein into oligopeptides of varied sizes that in turn enter the cell by different transport systems. Inside, peptides are further degraded into amino acids for microbial metabol...
This can act as a detoxification mechanism, but also could promote sulfide limitation to the purple sulfur bacteria located in the uppermost layers of the hypolimnia. Other interactions among PSB and GSB are determined by the selective light absorption by the populations situated in shallower waters...
Every day, Danino observes the intricate patterns that bacteria form in dozens of petri dishes in his lab. As their cells grow, divide and communicate with each other, they self-organize into colonies to maximize their chances of survival. The patterns they form are determined by both their ge...
Although general structures and biosynthesis pathways are conserved among Gram-positive bacteria, studies have revealed that LAB cell walls demonstrate unique properties; these studies have yielded some notable, fundamental, and novel findings. Given the potential of this research to contribute to future ...
such as dendritic cells (DCs) or macrophages but also myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs), which can then deliver bacteria to TMEs. Through this unique mechanism,Listeriacells residing in MDSCs are protected from immune clearance, whileListeriacells in healthy tissue milieus are rapidly eliminat...

This cellular slime mold life cycle is similar to dictyostelids; however, the mechanism of sorogenesis and the multicellularity are distinct.20 Given its evolutionary position and unique biology and organization, F. alba has great potential to contribute to our understanding of opisthokont origins ...
