| intracellular microrheology of motile amoeba proteus. | the motility of amoeba proteus was examined using the technique of passive particle tracking microrheology, with the aid of newly developed particle tracking software, a fast digital camera, and an optical microscope. we tracked large numbers of endogeneous particles in the amoebae, which displayed subdiffusive motion at short timescales, corresponding to thermal motion in a viscoelastic medium, and superdiffusive motion at long timescales due to the convection of the cytoplasm. subdiffusive mot ... | 2008 | 18192370 |
| characterization of a novel gene, wosa, regulating flhdc expression in proteus mirabilis. | in this study, we describe wosa, a proteus mirabilis gene identified by its ability to increase swarming motility when overexpressed. at various times during the swarming cycle, the increased expression of wosa resulted in a 4- to 16-fold upregulation of the transcription of flhdc, encoding the master regulator of the flagellar cascade. in turn, the expression of flaa, encoding flagellin, was substantially increased in wosa-overexpressing strains. the overexpression of wosa also resulted in cons ... | 2008 | 18192389 |

| synergistic antibacterial activity between thymus vulgaris and pimpinella anisum essential oils and methanol extracts. | essential oils (eos) and methanol extracts obtained from aerial parts of thymus vulgaris and pimpinella anisum seeds were evaluated for their single and combined antibacterial activities against nine gram-positive and gram-negative pathogenic bacteria: staphylococcus aureus, bacillus cereus, escherichia coli, proteus vulgaris, proteus mirabilis, salmonella typhi, salmonella typhimurium, klebsiella pneumoniae and pseudomonas aeruginosa. the essential oils and methanol extracts revealed promising ... | 2008 | 18226481 |
| composite active site of chondroitin lyase abc accepting both epimers of uronic acid. | enzymes have evolved as catalysts with high degrees of stereospecificity. when both enantiomers are biologically important, enzymes with two different folds usually catalyze reactions with the individual enantiomers. in rare cases a single enzyme can process both enantiomers efficiently, but no molecular basis for such catalysis has been established. the family of bacterial chondroitin lyases abc comprises such enzymes. they can degrade both chondroitin sulfate (cs) and dermatan sulfate (ds) gly ... | 2008 | 18227125 |
