Differentiation and secondary metabolism are correlated processes in fungi that respond to
light. In Aspergillus nidulans, light inhibits sexual reproduction as well as secondary …

Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli (EAEC) is a pathogen implicated in several infant
diarrhea or diarrheal outbreaks in areas of endemicity. Although multiple genes involved in …

Abstract Background The Red recombinase system of bacteriophage lambda has been
used to inactivate chromosomal genes in various bacteria and fungi. The procedure consists …

The ability to form biofilm is seen as an increasingly important colonization strategy among
both pathogenic and environmental Klebsiella pneumoniae strains. The aim of the present …

Background The pagN gene of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium is a PhoP-
regulated gene that is up-regulated during growth within macrophages and in vivo in murine …

Gene replacement via homologous recombination is a fundamental tool for the analysis of
gene function. However, this event is rare in organisms like the filamentous fungus …

The development of bacteria on abiotic surfaces has important public health and sanitary
consequences. However, despite several decades of study of bacterial adhesion to inert …

Genomic information of many fungi has been released but large scale functional genomic
studies are still limited by a lack of high-throughput methods. The low rates of homologous …

Farnesol (FOH) is a non‐sterol isoprenoid produced by dephosphorylation of farnesyl
pyrophosphate, a catabolite of the cholesterol biosynthetic pathway. These isoprenoids …

The colonization of the gastrointestinal tract of patients by the opportunistic gram-negative
bacillus Klebsiella pneumoniae generally occurs prior to the development of nosocomial …
