Elucidation of the transmission patterns of an insect-borne bacterium

Article Abstract:

The authors have investigated transmission paterns of gamma-proteobacterium distributed in pea aphid Acyrthosiphon pisum. They have concluded that gamma-proteobacterium infections in A. pisum are maintained via high vertical rates and occasional horizontal transmissions.

Alkylphenol biotransformations catalyzed by 4-ethylphenol methylenehydroxylase

Article Abstract:

Research has been conducted on 4-ethylphenol methylenehydroxylase from Pseudomonas putida JD1. Results demonstrate that this compound is affected by dehydrogenation of its substrate and produces quinone methide which is then hydrated to alcohol.

A stable bioluminescent construct of Escherichia coli O157:H7 for hazard assessments of long-term survival in the environment

Article Abstract:

Research has been conducted on nontoxigenic Escherichia coli O157:H7 chromosomally lux-marked strain. Results demonstrate that survival characteristics of this strain are indistinguishable from the wild-type strain.
