Whether they live in the soil, drift in the ocean, survive in the lungs of human hosts or reside
on the surfaces of leaves, all bacteria must cope with an array of environmental stressors …

The phage display technique is a powerful tool for selection of various biological agents.
This technique allows construction of large libraries from the antibody repertoire of different …

Viruses are incapable of autonomous energy production. Although many experimental
studies make it clear that viruses are parasitic entities that hijack the molecular resources of …

The bottom-up construction of biological entities from genetic information provides a broad
range of opportunities to better understand fundamental processes within living cells, as well …

The ability to analyze and identify large macromolecular complexes whose molecular weight
is beyond the analyzable range of mass spectrometry is of great interest. The size of such …

As significant drivers of cyanobacteria mortality, cyanophages have been known to regulate
the population dynamics, metabolic activities, and community structure of this most important …

One of the human-and animal-pathogenic species in genus Yersinia is Yersinia
enterocolitica, a food-borne zoonotic pathogen that causes enteric infections, mesenteric …

The comparative susceptibility of DNA-and RNA-type viruses to photodynamic inactivation
has not yet been clearly addressed. In this study the effect of the tricationic porphyrin Tri-Py+ …

Some bacterial strains of the multidrug-resistant Gram-positive bacteria Enterococcus
faecalis can significantly reduce the efficacy of conventional antimicrobial chemotherapy …

The ability of a ciliate to inactivate bacteriophage was studied because these viruses are
known to influence the size and diversity of bacterial populations, which affect nutrient …
