| inhibition of plasmodium berghei development in mosquitoes by effector proteins secreted from asaia sp. bacteria using a novel native secretion signal. | novel interventions are needed to prevent the transmission of the plasmodium parasites that cause malaria. one possible method is to supply mosquitoes with antiplasmodial effector proteins from bacteria by paratransgenesis. mosquitoes have a diverse complement of midgut microbiota including the gram-negative bacteria asaia bogorensis. this study presents the first use of asaia sp. bacteria for paratransgenesis against p. berghei. we identified putative secreted proteins from a. bogorensis by a g ... | 2015 | 26636338 |
| attachment of asaia bogorensis originating in fruit-flavored water to packaging materials. | the objective of this study was to investigate the adhesion of isolated spoilage bacteria to packaging materials used in the food industry. microorganisms were isolated from commercial fruit-flavored mineral water in plastic bottles with flocks as a visual defect. the gram-negative rods were identified using the molecular method through the amplification of a partial region of the 16s rrna gene. based on the sequence identity (99.6%) between the spoilage organism and a reference strain deposited ... | 2014 | 25295262 |
| complete genome and gene expression analyses of asaia bogorensis reveal unique responses to culture with mammalian cells as a potential opportunistic human pathogen. | asaia bogorensis, a member of acetic acid bacteria (aab), is an aerobic bacterium isolated from flowers and fruits, as well as an opportunistic pathogen that causes human peritonitis and bacteraemia. here, we determined the complete genomic sequence of the as. bogorensis type strain nbrc 16594, and conducted comparative analyses of gene expression under different conditions of co-culture with mammalian cells and standard aab culture. the genome of as. bogorensis contained 2,758 protein-coding ge ... | 2015 | 26358298 |
| nitrogen fixation in asaia sp. (family acetobacteraceae). | the genus asaia (family acetobacteraceae) was first introduced with a single species-asaia bogorensis and later six more species were described namely a. siamensis, a. krungthepensis, a. lannaensis, a. platycodi, a. prunellae, and a. astilbes. acetobacteraceae family has been divided into ten genera but, only three of them include nitrogen fixing species: gluconacetobacter, acetobacter, and swaminathania. this article originated from our study primarily aimed to isolate new endosymbiotic nitroge ... | 2011 | 21681635 |
| ultrafine cellulose fibers produced by asaia bogorensis, an acetic acid bacterium. | the ability to synthesize cellulose by asaia bogorensis, a member of the acetic acid bacteria, was studied in two substrains, aj and jcm. although both strains have identical 16s rdna sequence, only the aj strain formed a solid pellicle at the air-liquid interface in static culture medium, and we analyzed this pellicle using a variety of techniques. in the presence of cellulase, glucose and cellobiose were released from the pellicle suggesting that it is made of cellulose. field emission electro ... | 2011 | 21650167 |
| energy metabolism of a unique acetic acid bacterium, asaia bogorensis, that lacks ethanol oxidation activity. | acetic acid bacteria (aab) are known as a vinegar producer on account of their ability to accumulate a high concentration of acetic acid due to oxidative fermentation linking the ethanol oxidation respiratory chain. reactions in oxidative fermentation cause poor growth because a large amount of the carbon source is oxidized incompletely and the harmful oxidized products are accumulated almost stoichiometrically in the culture medium during growth, but a newly identified aab, asaia, has shown unu ... | 2008 | 18391448 |
