PhD Project - PectoCAZy: mining plant pathogens for industrially-relevant enzyme mixtures at University of Strathclyde, listed on FindAPhD.com

Typhoid toxin, a genotoxin secreted by typhoidal Salmonella serovars, has been implicated in diverse host responses ranging from DNA damage to cellular senescence. In this Research Highlight, we disc...

The ability of Salmonella Typhimurium to exploit macrophages as a niche for survival, replication, and dissemination is central to its pathogenesis. T…

The Bikard lab at Institut Pasteur in Paris is seeking to hire postdoctoral researchers. We are investigating bacteria / bacteriophages interactions, and the genetic innovation that happens at this in...

Author summary Viruses that infect bacteria, known as phages, are part of microbial communities and influence the abundance, diversity, and traits of their hosts. In an agriculture-related context, th...

Prophages, phage genomes integrated into bacterial chromosomes, are widespread, yet, the extent to which these resident parasites contribute to host fitness and shape evolutionary trajectories, partic...

Viruses are omnipresent and the most abundant biological entities on the planet. They play a critical role in shaping the ecology and evolution of all life forms. This chapter provides methods to perf...

Temperate phages integrate multiple information sources to regulate lysis-lysogeny transitions. SPBeta-like phages use arbitrium signalling and DNA damage to control repressor activity during lytic in...

PhD Project - MRC DiMeN Doctoral Training Partnership: Resistant zombies: how drug-resistance plasmids manipulate the behaviour of the opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa at University of Li...

Intracellular Salmonella enterica uses a type III secretion system to secrete more than 30 effector proteins into host cells. Here, Newson et al. generate six mutant strains deficient in different set...

In this study, the authors show that Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium co-opts the host mitochondrial citrate carrier (CIC) to regulate the redox state of its vacuole, facilitating intracellular...

Sabnis et al. explain why non-conjugative plasmids move at a low rate in nature. While increased mobility can easily evolve by incorporating phage DNA into plasmids, this is disadvantageous because it...
