Monomolecular arrays of protein or glycoprotein subunits forming surface layers (S-layers)
are one of the most commonly observed prokaryotic cell envelope components. S-layers are …

The study of the role that fungi have played and are playing in fundamental geological
processes can be termed 'geomycology'and this article seeks to emphasize the fundamental …

The cell wall envelope of gram-positive bacteria is a macromolecular, exoskeletal organelle
that is assembled and turned over at designated sites. The cell wall also functions as a …

Disrobes the characterization of the periodontal diseases as multifactorial infections elicited
by a complex of bacterial species that interact with host tissues and cells. Cause of cells to …

The outer surface of many archaea and bacteria is coated with a proteinaceous surface
layer (known as an S-layer), which is formed by the self-assembly of monomeric proteins …

Abstract Repeats-in-toxin (RTX) exoproteins of Gram-negative bacteria form a steadily
growing family of proteins with diverse biological functions. Their common feature is the …

The members of the Aeromonas genus are ubiquitous, water‐borne bacteria. They have
been isolated from marine waters, rivers, lakes, swamps, sediments, chlorine water, water …

Research on the behaviour of microorganisms in geogenic or anthropogenic
metallomorphic environments is an integral part of geomicrobiology. The investigation of …

The cell wall of lactic acid bacteria has the typical Gram-positive structure made of a thick,
multilayered peptidoglycan sacculus decorated with proteins, teichoic acids and …

Bdellovibrio species are naturally predatory, small, motile, Deltaproteobacteria that invade
the periplasm of other larger gram-negative bacteria, killing and digesting them. Bdellovibrio …
