Sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) have a unique ability to respire under anaerobic conditions
using sulfate as a terminal electron acceptor, reducing it to hydrogen sulfide. SRB thrives in …

σ54 factor (RpoN), a type of transcriptional regulatory factor, is widely found in pathogenic
bacteria. It binds to core RNA polymerase (RNAP) and regulates the transcription of many …

Biocorrosion first surfaced in the scientific literature when Richard H. Gaines associated
corrosion with bacterial activities in 1910. It is also known as microbiologically influenced …

Microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) caused by biofilm is a serious problem in many
industries. D-amino acids could be a potential strategy to enhance traditional corrosion …

The presence of bacteria and biofilm on medical device surfaces has been linked to serious
infections, increased health care costs, and failure of medical devices. Therefore …

Persister cells are difficult to eliminate because they are tolerant to antibiotic stress. In the
present study, using artificially induced Escherichia coli persister cells, we found that …

Background RpoN, also known as σ54, first reported in Escherichia coli, is a subunit of RNA
polymerase that strictly controls the expression of different genes by identifying specific …

Background Bacteria survive in various environments by forming biofilms. Bacterial biofilms
often cause significant problems to medical instruments and industrial processes …

Introduction Desulfovibrio vulgaris Hildenborough is a gram-negative anaerobic bacterium
belonging to the sulfate-reducing bacteria that exhibits highly versatile metabolism. By …

Biofilm, is a special-complex organization of bacterial cells with multiple layers, formed in
certain environmental conditions. In the complex biofilm different bacterial cells perform …
