Hydrogen sulfide (H 2 S), a chemical messenger molecule, regulates several intracellular activities in bacteria such as responses to oxidative stress and antibiotics. Increased iron uptake ...

In recent years, overexplorations of ore and the growth of industries are the prime factors in the release of heavy metals in environments. As a result, the ...

Escherichia coli is a model bacterium that has been extensively used to study many aspects of microbiology, including bacterial aging. ATP synthase is an important protein for generating energy in the ...

While they may not "look" their age, bacteria feel the passage of time too ... coli, focusing on mutants with non-functional ATP synthases, large protein complexes that allow cells to generate ...

First described for rickettsiae, the plaque assay methods have been adapted to other intracellular bacterial pathogens. There is no single model, thus each assay should be refined depending on the ...

While mechanisms controlling uncoupling protein-1 (UCP1) in thermogenic adipocytes play a pivotal role in non-shivering thermogenesis, it remains unclear whether F 1 Fo-ATP synthase function is also ...

Multidrug resistant bacterial (MDR) infections constitute one of the greatest health challenges of the 21st century, with important health and economic implications for patients and healthcare systems ...
