| genome-wide characterization of vibrio phage φpp2 with unique arrangements of the mob-like genes. | vibrio parahaemolyticus is associated with gastroenteritis, wound infections, and septicemia in human and animals. phages can control the population of the pathogen. so far, the only one reported genome among giant vibriophages is kvp40: 244,835 bp with 26% coding regions that have t4 homologs. putative homing endonucleases (he) were found in vibrio phage kvp40 bearing one segd and vibrio cholerae phage icp1 carrying one mobc/e and one segg. | 2012 | 22676552 |
| predatory bacteriovorax communities ordered by various prey species. | the role of predation in altering microbial communities has been studied for decades but few examples are known for bacterial predators. bacteriovorax are halophilic prokaryotes that prey on susceptible gram-negative bacteria. we recently reported novel observations on the differential selection of bacteriovorax phylotypes by two different prey, vibrio parahaemolyticus and vibrio vulnificus. however, the conclusion is restricted by the limited number of prey tested. in this study, we have conduc ... | 2012 | 22461907 |
| mlp24 (mcpx) of vibrio cholerae implicated in pathogenicity functions as a chemoreceptor for multiple amino acids. | the chemotaxis of vibrio cholerae, the causative agent of cholera, has been implicated in pathogenicity. the bacterium has more than 40 genes for methyl-accepting chemotaxis protein (mcp)-like proteins (mlps). in this study, we found that glycine and at least 18 l-amino acids, including serine, arginine, asparagine, and proline, serve as attractants to the classical biotype strain o395n1. based on the sequence comparison with vibrio parahaemolyticus, we speculated that at least 17 mlps of v. cho ... | 2012 | 22753378 |

| The Na+/L-proline transporter PutP. | The Na+/L-proline transporter PutP is a member of the Na+/solute symporter family (TC 2A.21, SLC5), which contains several hundred proteins of pro- and eukaryotic origin. Within the family, the capability of L-proline uptake is restricted to proteins of prokaryotes. PutP contributes to the use of L-proline as a nutrient. In addition, the transporter may supply cells with compatible solute during adaptation to osmotic stress. Based on these and other functions, PutP is of significance for various ... | 2012 | 22201772 |
