We report the complete genome sequence of model bacterial pathogen Pseudomonas syringae pathovar tomato DC3000 (DC3000), which is pathogenic on and Arabidopsis thaliana . The (6.5 megabases) contains a circular chromosome two plasmids, collectively encode 5,763 ORFs. identified 298 established putative virulence genes, including several clusters genes encoding 31 confirmed 19 predicted type III secretion system effector proteins. Many were members paralogous families also proximal to mobile...
Species of malaria parasite that infect rodents have long been used as models for disease research. Here we report the whole-genome shotgun sequence one species, Plasmodium yoelii yoelii, and comparative studies with genome human falciparum clone 3D7. A synteny map 2,212 P. y. contiguous DNA sequences (contigs) aligned to 14 chromosomes reveals marked conservation gene within body each chromosome. Of about 5,300 genes, more than 3,300 orthologues predominantly metabolic function were...
The complete genome sequence of Geobacter sulfurreducens, a delta-proteobacterium, reveals unsuspected capabilities, including evidence aerobic metabolism, one-carbon and complex carbon motility, chemotactic behavior. These characteristics, coupled with the possession many two-component sensors c-type cytochromes, reveal an ability to create alternative, redundant, electron transport networks offer insights into process metal ion reduction in subsurface environments. As well as playing roles...
The 2,160,267 bp genome sequence of Streptococcus agalactiae , the leading cause bacterial sepsis, pneumonia, and meningitis in neonates U.S. Europe, is predicted to encode 2,175 genes. Genome comparisons among S. pneumoniae pyogenes other completely sequenced genomes identified genes specific streptococci . These silico analyses, combined with comparative hybridization experiments between serotype V strain 2603 V/R 19 strains from several serotypes using whole-genome microarrays, revealed...
The 3.31-Mb genome sequence of the intracellular pathogen and potential bioterrorism agent, Brucella suis , was determined. Comparison B. with melitensis has defined a finite set differences that could be responsible for in virulence host preference between these organisms, indicates phage have played significant role their divergence. Analysis reveals transport metabolic capabilities akin to soil/plant-associated bacteria. Extensive gene synteny chromosome 1 plant symbiont Mesorhizobium...
Mutualistic intracellular symbiosis between bacteria and insects is a widespread phenomenon that has contributed to the global success of insects. The symbionts, by provisioning nutrients lacking from diets, allow various occupy or dominate ecological niches might otherwise be unavailable. One such insect glassy-winged sharpshooter (Homalodisca coagulata), which feeds on xylem fluid, diet exceptionally poor in organic nutrients. Phylogenetic studies based rRNA have shown two types bacterial...
This article describes the features of ultrastructure lungs vertebrates belonging to different biotopes.Due habitat in fine structure lung tendon spines (amphibians, reptiles, small mammals), significant differences were detected by electron and scanning microscopy.In study light amphibians living various biotopes, presence "living" formations "mixed" cells was observed.In addition, type I pneumocytes predominate, II is rarely common.Amphibians (tailed frog) steppe zone actively excrete...
