Metagenomic Insights into Metabolic Capacities of the Gut Microbiota in a Fungus-Cultivating Termite (Odontotermes yunnanensis)
Macrotermitinae (fungus-cultivating termites) are major decomposers in tropical and subtropical areas of Asia and Africa. They have specifically evolved mutualistic associations with both a Termitomyces fungi on the nest and a gut microbiota, providing a model system for probing host-microbe interactions. Yet the symbiotic roles of gut microbes residing in its major feeding caste remain largely...
متن کاملTwo large, related, cryptic plasmids from geographically distinct isolates of Sulfobacillus thermotolerans.
Two large cryptic plasmids (59.2 and 65.9 kb) from isolates of Sulfobacillus thermotolerans from Yellowstone National Park (United States) and the Caribbean island of Montserrat were isolated and sequenced. This analysis revealed a common "backbone" region coding for a potential plasmid stability system plus a nonpheromone conjugation system containing homologues of both type IV and type II (ti...
متن کاملChemotaxis of Leptospirillum ferrooxidans and other acidophilic chemolithotrophs: comparison with the Escherichia coli chemosensory system.
Ni2+, Fe2+ and Cu2+ were attractants and aspartate was an apparent repellent for Leptospirillum ferrooxidans, a behaviour opposite to that for Escherichia coli. Membranes from L. ferrooxidans contained proteins with a molecular mass in the range of 80 kDa which were methylated in vitro. Methylation was stimulated in the presence of a membrane-free extract from E. coli, showing the response patt...
متن کاملNew Insights into the Effect of Diabetes and Obesity in Alzheimer’s Disease
Abstract Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common cause of dementia in elderly people. The prevalence of Alzheimer diseases is increasing in the world due to population aging. Metabolic disease such as diabetes and obesity play important role in Alzheimer disease. Hyperglycemia can play important role in brain damage. It causes cognitive impairments, functional and structural alterations in...
متن کاملNew Insights into Metabolic Properties of Marine Bacteria Encoding Proteorhodopsins
Proteorhodopsin phototrophy was recently discovered in oceanic surface waters. In an effort to characterize uncultured proteorhodopsin-exploiting bacteria, large-insert bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) libraries from the Mediterranean Sea and Red Sea were analyzed. Fifty-five BACs carried diverse proteorhodopsin genes, and we confirmed the function of five. We calculate that proteorhodopsi...
