Genome size analyses of Pucciniales reveal the largest fungal genomes
Rust fungi (Basidiomycota, Pucciniales) are biotrophic plant pathogens which exhibit diverse complexities in their life cycles and host ranges. The completion of genome sequencing of a few rust fungi has revealed the occurrence of large genomes. Sequencing efforts for other rust fungi have been hampered by uncertainty concerning their genome sizes. Flow cytometry was recently applied to estimat...
متن کاملDiarrheagenic Escherichia coli Phylogroups Are Associated with Antibiotic Resistance and Duration of Diarrheal Episode
Conventionally, in Escherichia coli, phylogenetic groups A and B1 are associated with commensal strains while B2 and D are associated with extraintestinal strains. The aim of this study was to evaluate diarrheagenic (DEC) and commensal E. coli phylogeny and its association with antibiotic resistance and clinical characteristics of the diarrheal episode. Phylogenetic groups and antibiotic resist...
متن کاملWhy sequence genomes? The Escherichia coli imbroglio.
A little more than a decade ago, many people, including highly-respected molecular biologists, advocated the launch of a huge molecular biology programme, aimed at sequencing the whole human genome. This was perceived mostly as a technical feat rather than as a scientific programme. Indeed, genome sequencing was (and often still is) presented as an aim in itself, not as an approach to solve bio...
متن کاملConcurrent Growth Rate and Transcript Analyses Reveal Essential Gene Stringency in Escherichia coli
BACKGROUND Genes essential for bacterial growth are of particular scientific interest. Many putative essential genes have been identified or predicted in several species, however, little is known about gene expression requirement stringency, which may be an important aspect of bacterial physiology and likely a determining factor in drug target development. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS Worki...
متن کاملStructural analyses reveal two distinct families of nucleoside phosphorylases.
The reversible phosphorolysis of purine and pyrimidine nucleosides is an important biochemical reaction in the salvage pathway, which provides an alternative to the de novo purine and pyrimidine biosynthetic pathways. Structural studies in our laboratory and by others have revealed that only two folds exist that catalyse the phosphorolysis of all nucleosides, and provide the basis for defining ...
