Engineering Escherichia coli to Control Biofilm Formation, Dispersal, and Persister Cell Formation Hong, Seok Hoon (2012-02-14)Biofilms are formed in aquatic environments by the attachment of bacteria to submerged surfaces, to the air/liquid interface, and to each other. Although biofilms are associated with disease and biofouling, the robust ...

Wang, Lan (2009-05-15)This study generated two cyanide dihydratase (CynD) mutants of Bacillus pumilus C1 with improved activity at higher pH by random mutagenesis. The purpose of this study was to create enzyme variants better suited to degrade ...

Sanchez Torres, Viviana (2012-02-14)Escherichia coli is the best characterized bacterium; it grows rapidly, and it is easy to manipulate genetically. An increased knowledge about the physiology of this model organism will facilitate the development of ...

Rodriguez Mendoza, Alvaro (2011-08-08)Even though cyanide is highly toxic, it is commonly found in industrial waste generated by several industries such as metal plating and mining. This chemical is hazardous for many organisms, including mammals, because it ...

Ball, Timothy Keith (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1990)The extracellular nuclease of Serratia marcescens was used as a model for studying extracellular protein localization in Gram-negative bacteria. The gene encoding the nuclease was cloned from S. marcescens SM6. The nuclease ...

Kuty, Gabriel (2012-02-14)SAR endolysins are a recently discovered class of muralytic enzymes that are regulated by dynamic membrane topology. They are synthesized as enzymatically inactive integral membrane proteins during the phage infection cycle ...

Westhafer, Mark Allyn (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1988)Polyadenylation of eukaryotic messenger RNA molecules consists of a two step reaction; cleavage of the primary transcript and step-wise addition of adenylic acid residues to the newly generated 3' OH group. The complex ...

Lai, Runzhi (2009-05-15)The key control step in E. coli chemotaxis is regulation of CheA kinase activity by a set of four transmembrane chemoreceptors. The receptor dimers can form trimeric complexes (trimers of dimers), and these trimers can be ...
