Sentences with phrase «microbial host»

Using microbial genomes as a data source meant researchers could link newly identified virus sequences to the proper microbial host.

Finding a treasure trove of new virus genome sequences has opened the door to using those data to identify previously unknown microbial hosts, as well.

Lymphopenia is an abnormally low level of lymphocytes or white blood cells that manage microbial host defense.

From the outset, we designed our efforts with broad - host range applicability in mind so that we could readily apply the same tools to other microbial hosts of interest.

«E. coli remains the workhorse microbial host in synthetic biology, and in our study, using the ionic - liquid - tolerant E. coli strain, we can combine many earlier discoveries to create an advanced biofuel in a single pot.»

This approach, especially when coupled with no or low leakage inducible promoters (e.g., PBADT7, Figure 1B), may be particularly effective for identifying microbial hosts that are tolerant to target or pathway intermediate compounds that are toxic to model microbes such as E. coli.

On the other hand, microbial hosts with metabolic capabilities and growth conditions well suited for specific industrial applications (like R. eutropha, which can function as a chemolithoautotroph), but with limited genetic tools, are extremely challenging and time - consuming to metabolically engineer, and developing new genetic tools for specific microbes of interest can be entire research efforts in and of themselves [25].

The discovery of inexpensive ionic liquids that are compatible with, or improve the performance of, enzymes and biofuel and bioproduct microbial hosts and can be efficiently recycled

Building upon this vision, the toolbox could be exploited to screen metabolic pathway performance across multiple microbial hosts, through the direct transfer of constructs (e.g., pCM271TcalRBSHC) to microbes with overlapping functional expression systems.

But the genome sequences revealed in this study suggest that there are many more prophage - like viruses that are different in one important respect: Their genome remains separate from their microbial hosts» genome.

American scientists have now genetically engineered a microbial host for organofluorine metabolism, allowing it to produce a fluoridated intermediate known as a diketide.

They make a living by slipping inside their microbial hosts and hijacking their biochemistry to make many new copies of themselves.

Local - dominant communities consist of viruses that are influenced by environmental conditions, which affect their microbial hosts and indirectly alter the structure of the viral community.

Carl Batt, Cornell's Liberty Hyde Bailey Professor in Food Science, and colleagues Leonardo Damasceno, Ph.D.» 08, of the Hertape Animal Health group in Brazil, and Gerd Ritter, of the Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research, established and refined the production of the antigen Sm14, using a microbial host.

Metabolic engineering efforts often focus on a small set of microbial hosts, such as E. coli and Saccharomyces cerevisiae, simply because there are many established genetic and heterologous gene expression tools available for them.

The microbial host defense can be weakened by secondary or acquired diseases (injury, endocrinopathy, cancer or co-infection) or primary inherited disorders that affect the barriers that keep infection out or functions of white blood cells.
