Microbial Genetics: Stress Management
نویسندگان
چکیده
Microbes constitute the very core of our existence. Long believed to be a nuisance and proponents various diseases, latest research point toward their functions in processes that can prove beneficial for human survival afford long-term protection from disease. The wide range exhibited by host microbes implies diversity heterogeneity at level molecular machinery, thus stressing need take closer look underpinnings dictate distinct outcomes.

متن کاملWhat can microbial genetics teach sociobiology?
Progress in our understanding of sociobiology has occurred with little knowledge of the genetic mechanisms that underlie social traits. However, several recent studies have described microbial genes that affect social traits, thereby bringing genetics to sociobiology. A key finding is that simple genetic changes can have marked social consequences, and mutations that affect cheating and recogni...
متن کاملMicrobial biofilms: from ecology to molecular genetics.
Biofilms are complex communities of microorganisms attached to surfaces or associated with interfaces. Despite the focus of modern microbiology research on pure culture, planktonic (free-swimming) bacteria, it is now widely recognized that most bacteria found in natural, clinical, and industrial settings persist in association with surfaces. Furthermore, these microbial communities are often co...
متن کاملBiochemistry and genetics of microbial xylanases.
Xylanases are classified into two major families (10 or F and 11 or G) of glycosyl hydrolases. Both use ion pair catalytic mechanisms and both retain anomeric configuration following hydrolysis. Family 10 xylanases are larger, more complex and produce smaller oligosaccharides; Family 11 xylanases are more specific for xylan. Alkaline-active and extreme-thermophilic enzymes are of particular int...
متن کاملMicrobial water stress.
A fellow of my acquaintance, on seeing a colleague drink undiluted water (55.5 molal), has been known to comment in disapproval that water at such a concentration should not be used for that purpose and that its main function is for putting around the outside of boats. He conceded that dilution with a little salt is acceptable for boats but for no other purpose. The proponent of this philosophy...
