An Analysis of the Tsr-LsrB Interaction During Autoinducer-2 Chemotaxis In Escherichia coli
(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 ... -
Influence of autoinducer 2 (ai-2) and ai-2-like inhibitors generated from ground beef on escherichia coli o157:h7 protein expression
(2009-05-15)Autoinducer 2 (AI-2) molecules produced by bacterial cells are thought to be involved in controlling a variety of bacterial cellular processes by coordinated gene and protein expression. Previous work in our laboratory has ... -
Inter-Kingdom Signaling Interactions in Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli Infections
(2011-10-21)The overall goal of this research was to understand the role of inter-kingdom signaling in enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) infections of the human gastro-intestinal (GI) tract from the perspective of both the ... -
Role of AI-2 in oral biofilm formation using microfluidic devices
(2009-05-15)Biofilms are highly organized bacterial structures that are attached to a surface. They are ubiquitous in nature and may be detrimental, causing numerous types of illnesses in living organisms. Biofilms in the human oral ...
