Multiple processes acting from local to large geographical scales shape bacterial communities associated with Phormidium (cyanobacteria) biofilms in French and New Zealand rivers
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2018)
River biofilms dominated by Phormidium (cyanobacteria) are receiving increased attention worldwide because of a recent expansion in their distribution and their ability to produce neurotoxins leading to animal mortalities. ...
Core non-coding RNAs of Piscirickettsia salmonis
(PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE, 2018)
Piscirickettsia salmonis, a fastidious Gram-negative intracellular facultative bacterium, is the causative agent o Piscirickettsiosis. P. salmonis has broad host range with a nearly worldwide distribution, causing significant ...
Ankle perturbation generates bilateral alteration of knee muscle onset times after unilateral anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction
(PEERJ INC, 2018)
Background. The aim of this study was to compare muscle activation onset times of knee muscles between the involved and uninvolved knee of patients with unilateral anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR), and the ...
MLSTar: automatic multilocus sequence typing of bacterial genomes in R
(PEERJ INC, 2018)
Multilocus sequence typing (MLST) is a standard tool in population genetics and bacterial epidemiology that assesses the genetic variation present in a reduced number of housekeeping genes (typically seven) along the genome. ...
Knee sensorimotor control following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction: A comparison between reconstruction techniques
(PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE, 2018)
The sensorimotor system helps to maintain functional joint stability during movement. After anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury and reconstruction, several sensorimotor deficits may arise, including altered proprioception ...
Transcriptomics reveals a cross-modulatory effect between riboflavin and iron and outlines responses to riboflavin biosynthesis and uptake in Vibrio cholerae
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2018)
Vibrio cholerae, a pandemic diarrheagenic bacterium, is able to synthesize the essential vitamin riboflavin through the riboflavin biosynthetic pathway (RBP) and also to internalize it through the RibN importer. In bacteria, ...
RIP-MD: a tool to study residue interaction networks in protein molecular dynamics
(PEERJ INC, 2018)
Protein structure is not static; residues undergo conformational rearrangements and, in doing so, create, stabilize or break non-covalent interactions. Molecular dynamics (MD) is a technique used to simulate these movements ...
Phenology determines the robustness of plant-pollinator networks
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2018)
Plant-pollinator systems are essential for ecosystem functioning, which calls for an understanding of the determinants of their robustness to environmental threats. Previous studies considering such robustness have focused ...
Endoplasmic reticulum stress leads to accumulation of wild-type SOD1 aggregates associated with sporadic amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
(NATL ACAD SCIENCES, 2018)
Abnormal modifications to mutant superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) are linked to familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (fALS). Misfolding of wild-type SOD1 (SOD1(WT)) is also observed in postmortem tissue of a subset of ...
Ion implantation in nanodiamonds: size effect and energy dependence
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2018)
Nanoparticles are ubiquitous in nature and are increasingly important for technology. They are subject to bombardment by ionizing radiation in a diverse range of environments. In particular, nanodiamonds represent a variety ...
