Seely, Andrew Loran (2017-07-31)Escherichia coli senses a variety of chemoeffectors. The Tsr chemoreceptor is known to mediate attractant response to serine. Previously, serine was the only attractant described for Tsr. Recent work suggests Tsr senses ...
-
Aziz, Landon C (2015-09-22)Chemotaxis in E. coli is controlled by signaling from membrane-bound chemoreceptors to flagellar motors. This determines the direction that the flagella rotate. These flagellar motors can switch from clockwise (CW) to ...
-
Nnanabu, Ernest (2009-06-02)Over the years, the Burgess group has been focusing on the preparation and testing of small molecules that mimic protein secondary structures for protein-protein interactions. The most successful compounds made are C10 ...
-
Maneewannakul, Sumit (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1990)Genes and gene products encoded by the central part of the F transfer region (between traC and traF) were investigated. The nucleotide sequence of the entire region was determined and all gene products were identified and ...
-
Jani, Sneha Jagdish (2017-05-08)Bacteria navigate within their environment in response to gradients of several environmental cues, including nutrients, toxins, pH, temperature and oxygen. Recent studies demonstrate that Escherichia coli also senses ...

Brundage, Adrienne (2012-07-16)Chrysomya rufifacies and Cochliomyia macellaria are two medically and forensically important necrophagous flies that dominate ephemeral resources in the southern US. Since its introduction in 1981, Ch. rufifacies has become ...

Silva, David (2012-12-11)Cilia and flagella are sensory organelles, found in the majority of eukaryotic organisms that play a vital role in the general physiology, health and early development of humans. Intraflagellar transport (IFT) is tasked ...
-
Agbo, Hillary (2012-10-19)Azinomycins A and B are antitumor compounds isolated from soil bacteria, Streptomyces sahachiroi. The azinomycin structure contains an unusual aziridine [1,2a] pyrrolidine ring and an epoxyvaline moiety which are used in ...
-
Mukherjee, Keya (2018-10-24)Scientists are slowly gaining a better understanding of the composition of the gut microbiota and the role it plays in maintaining metabolic homeostasis in the host. Metagenomic sequencing of various gut microbial species ...
-
Pratt, Robert James (2009-05-15)Meiosis, the core engine of sexual reproduction, is a complex process that results in the production of recombinant haploid genomes. In the meioses of Neurospora, worms and mice, gene expression from DNA that lacks a ...

Winkler, James (2014-04-16)Adaptive laboratory evolution (ALE) is a powerful tool for strain improvement, and has been applied successfully to improve a range of desirable phenotypes in model organisms through continuous cultivation under a selective ...
-
Rodriguez Rodriguez, Mauricio (Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)This manuscript presents a thorough investigation and description of metabolic control dynamics in vivo and in silico using as a model de novo pyrimidine biosynthesis. Metabolic networks have been studied intensely for ...
