Intercellular Nanotubes Mediate Bacterial Communication
Bacteria are known to communicate primarily via secreted extracellular factors. Here we identify a previously uncharacterized type of bacterial communication mediated by nanotubes that bridge neighboring cells. Using Bacillus subtilis as a model organism, we visualized transfer of cytoplasmic fluorescent molecules between adjacent cells. Additionally, by coculturing strains harboring different ...
متن کاملPeriodic chirality transformations propagating on bacterial flagella.
When a helical bacterial flagellum, clamped at one end, is placed in an external flow, it has been observed that regions of the flagellum transform to the opposite chirality, and travel as pulses down the length of the filament, the process repeating periodically [H. Hotani, J. Mol. Biol. 156, 791 (1982)]]. We propose a theory for this phenomenon based on a treatment of the flagellum as an elas...
متن کاملBacterial growth on aminoalkylphosphonic acids.
Harkness, Donald R. (University of Miami School of Medicine, Miami, Fla.). Bacterial growth on aminoalkylphosphonic acids. J. Bacteriol. 92:623-627. 1966.-Of 10 bacterial strains tested, 9 were found to be able to utilize the phosphorus of at least one of eight different aminoalkylphosphonic acids for growth, indicating that the ability to catabolize the carbon-phosphorus (C-P) bond is widespre...
متن کاملBacterial Nanofluidic Structures for Medicine and Engineering Bacterial nanotubes Bacterial Nanofluidic Structures for Medicine and Engineering
2010 Wil re microscopic, single-celled organisms that utilize a variety of nanofluidic structures. One of the best known and widely used nanofluidic structures that are derived from bacteria is the a-hemolysin pore. This pore, which self-assembles in lipid bilayers, has been used for a wide variety of sensing applications, most notably, DNA sensing. Synthetic pores drilled in a wide variety of ...
متن کاملPredicting bacterial growth conditions from bacterial physiology
Bacterial physiology reflects the environmental conditions of growth. A widely studied problem in systems biology is to predict bacterial phenotype from growth conditions, using mechanistic models such as flux balance analysis (FBA). However, the inverse prediction of growth conditions from phenotype is rarely considered. Here we develop a computational framework to carry out this inverse predi...
