Bacillus anthracis produces membrane-derived vesicles containing biologically active toxins.
Extracellular vesicle production is a ubiquitous process in Gram-negative bacteria, but little is known about such process in Gram-positive bacteria. We report the isolation of extracellular vesicles from the supernatants of Bacillus anthracis, a Gram-positive bacillus that is a powerful agent for biological warfare. B. anthracis vesicles formed at the outer layer of the bacterial cell had doub...
متن کاملMechanisms of Active Transport in Isolated Bacterial Membrane Vesicles
Valinomycin-induced uptake of rubidium by membrane vesicles prepared from Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus QUreus, and Micrococcus denifrificans is analogous in nearly all respects to the transport of sugars or amino acids, or both, by these membrane vesicles. In E. coli membrane vesicles, concentrative rubidium uptake is stimulated maximally by D-lactate and by the artificial electron donor as...
متن کاملMolecular Characterization of a Fungus Producing Membrane Active Metabolite and Analysis of the Produced Secondary Metabolite
Background: The majority of studies on soil Aspergillus concern the isolation and characterization of the antimicrobial compounds produced by this organism. Our previous studies indicated an isolated Aspergillus strain soil to be of interest, and this subject is further investigated here. Method: Soil samples of various locations in Iran were collected. Extract from Aspergillus sp. culture was...
متن کاملMobile Robot Localisation using Active Visual Sensing
In autonomous navigation in intially unknown surroundings, localisation over extended periods requires the discovery and use of enduring landmarks which can be repeatedly referred to. Active vision is well-suited to (re-)finding such landmarks, its wide field of view permitting the same features to be viewed during large robot motions. This paper describes the implementation of a robot system, ...
متن کاملActive visual localisation for cooperating inspection robots
In the routine inspection of industrial or other areas , teams of robots with various sensors could operate together to great eeect, but require reliable, accurate and exible localisation capabilities to be able to move around safely. We demonstrate accurate localisation for an inspection team consisting of a robot with stereo active vision and its companion with an active lighting system, and ...
