Heat stock protein-mediated resistance to high hydrostatic pressure in Escherichia coli
Article Abstract:
A random library of Escherichia coli MG1655 genomic fragments fused to a promoterless green fluorescent protein (GFP) gene is constructed and screened by differential fluorescence induction for promoters that are induced after exposure to a sublethal high hydrostatic pressure stress. The findings suggest a causative relationship between the expression of heat shock proteins and pressure resistance in E.coli, emphasizing proteome alteration the primary target of inactivation by pressure.

Aerobic growth on nitroglycerin as the sole carbon, nitrogen, and energy source by a mixed bacterial culture
Article Abstract:
Research was conducted to determine whether aerobic growth on nitroglycerin (GTN) is the sole nitrogen, carbon and energy source by a mixed bacterial culture. Other objectives were to investigate whether bacterial cultures could mediate complete GTN denitration and to conduct a preliminary analysis of GTN denitration kinetics. Results indicate a reductive denitration mechanism as shown by the denitration of GTN that led to the release of primarily nitrite-N.

High diversity among environmental Escherichia coli isolates from a bovine feedlot
Article Abstract:
Escherichia coli is a consistent and predominant facultative inhabitant of the human gastrointestinal tract. An isolation and description of the strain diversity of an E. coli population retrieved from a long-term operating bovine feedlot by employing a whole-genome fingerprinting technique is done.
