The bacteriophage population is vast, dynamic, old, and genetically diverse. genomics of phages that infect bacterial hosts in the phylum Actinobacteria show them to not only be diverse but also pervasively mosaic, replete with genes unknown function. To further explore this broad group bacteriophages, we describe here isolation genomic characterization 116 Microbacterium spp. Most are lytic, can grouped into twelve clusters according their overall relatedness; seven singletons no close...
ABSTRACT Multidrug-resistant (MDR) tuberculosis, defined as tuberculosis resistant to the two first-line drugs isoniazid and rifampin, poses a serious problem for global control strategies. Lack of safe convenient model organism hampers progress in combating spread MDR strains Mycobacterium . We reasoned that auxotrophic mutants M. would provide means studying without need biosafety level 3 (BSL3) laboratory. Two different sets triple were generated, which nutrients leucine, pantothenate,...
Six novel Microbacterium phages belonging to the Tectiviridae family were isolated using testaceum as a host. Phages MuffinTheCat, Badulia, DesireeRose, Bee17, SCoupsA, and LuzDeMundo purified from environmental samples by students participating in Science Education Alliance Phage Hunters Advancing Genomics Evolutionary (SEA-PHAGES) program at University, New York. The have linear dsDNA genomes 15,438–15,636 bp with 112–120 inverted terminal repeats. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM)...
A report on research that explicates three models of pedagogical practice underpin and characterize inquiry instruction in a course-based experience.
ABSTRACT The Partnership for Undergraduate Life Sciences Education (PULSE) is a non-profit educational organization committed to promoting the transformation of undergraduate STEM education by supporting departments in removing barriers access, equity, and inclusion adopting evidence-based teaching learning practices. PULSE Ambassadors Campus Workshop program enables faculty staff members host 1) develop communication, shared leadership, skills effective team learning; 2) implement...
Over the last two decades, there have been numerous initiatives to improve undergraduate student outcomes in STEM. One model for scalable reform is inclusive Research Education Community (iREC). In an iREC, STEM faculty from colleges and universities across nation are supported adopt sustainably implement course-based research – a form of science pedagogy that enhances learning persistence science. this study, we used pathway modeling develop qualitative description explicates HHMI Science...

Shuman is a bacteriophage isolated in Nyack, New York, using Rhodococcus erythropolis NRRL B-1574 as host. It member of cluster CA and has genome length 46,544 bp. contains 67 predicted protein-coding genes, 3 tRNA no transfer-messenger RNA (tmRNA) genes.

ABSTRACT We report here the genome sequences of three newly isolated phages that infect Mycobacterium smegmatis mc 2 155. Phages Findley, Hurricane, and TBond007 were discovered in geographically distinct locations are related to cluster K mycobacteriophages, with Findley being similar subcluster K2 Hurricane K3 phages.
