Consensus-degenerate hybrid oligonucleotide primers for amplification of priming glycosyltransferase genes of the exopolysaccharide locus in strains of the Lactobacillus casei group

Article Abstract:

Research has been conducted on priming glycosyltransferase gene in Lactobacillus casei strains. The authors describe the use of consensus-degenerate hybrid oligonucleotide primer strategy for amplification of related sequences developed for detection of this gene.

Environmetal determinants of Vibrio cholerae biofilm development

Article Abstract:

Research has been conducted on Vibrio cholerae. The authors have demonstrated that V. cholerae produces vps-dependent and -independent biofilms which differ in the structure and their environmental activators.
