Two Nimrod receptors, NimC1 and Eater, synergistically contribute to bacterial phagocytosis in Drosophila melanogaster

Bruno Lemaitre, Jan Paul Dudzic, Elodie Julie Virginie Ramond, Claudia Melcarne

Eater and NimC1 are transmembrane receptors of the Drosophila Nimrod family, specifically expressed in haemocytes, the insect blood cells. Previous ex vivo and in vivoRNAi studies have pointed to their role in the phagocytosis of bacteria. Here, we have cr ...

Disruption of the SucT acyltransferase in Mycobacterium smegmatis abrogates succinylation of cell envelope polysaccharides

Haig Alexander Eskandarian

Similar to other prokaryotes, mycobacteria decorate their major cell envelope glycans with minor covalent substituents whose biological significance remains largely unknown. We report on the discovery of a mycobacterial enzyme, named here SucT, that adds s ...

Microbial life in porous systems

David Scheidweiler

Microbial life in porous systems dominates the functioning of numerous ecosystems, ranging from stream sediments to soils. While these environments are characterized by structures that vary spatially over orders of magnitude, the traditional research focus ...

Diet modulates cecum bacterial diversity and physiological phenotypes across the BXD mouse genetic reference population

Johan Auwerx, Evan Graehl Williams

The BXD family has become one of the preeminent genetic reference populations to understand the genetic and environmental control of phenotypic variation. Here we evaluate the responses to different levels of fat in the diet using both chow diet (CD, 13-18 ...

Diverse roles of TssA-like proteins in the assembly of bacterial type VI secretion systems

Henning Paul-Julius Stahlberg, Sergey Nazarov

Protein translocation by the bacterial type VI secretion system (T6SS) is driven by a rapid contraction of a sheath assembled around a tube with associated effectors. Here, we show that TssA-like or TagA-like proteins with a conserved N-terminal domain and ...

Nanostructured surface topographies have an effect on bactericidal activity

Jürgen Brugger, Songmei Wu

Background Due to the increased emergence of antimicrobial resistance, alternatives to minimize the usage of antibiotics become attractive solutions. Biophysical manipulation of material surface topography to prevent bacterial adhesion is one promising app ...

Immuno-affinity Amperometric Detection of Bacterial Infections

Hubert Girault, Andreas Stephan Lesch, Horst Pick, Michel Prudent, Milica Jovic, Yingdi Zhu

A combination of an immuno-affinity enrichment strategy and sensitive amperometric read-out was implemented in a point-of-care platform intended for bacterial infection analysis. Bacterial cells, selectively captured and enriched from complex matrices thro ...

Microfluidic Production of Capsules-in-Capsules for Programed Release of Multiple Ingredients

Esther Amstad

Capsules with thin shells have a high‐loading capacity and are thus well‐suited containers for reagents that must be stored in confined volumes. Capsules contained in larger capsules, so‐called double capsules, allow the encapsulation of distinct reagents ...
