Design and strain selection criteria for bacterial communication networks

Design and strain selection criteria for bacterial communication networks

In this paper, we discuss data and methodological challenges for building bacterial communication networks using two examples: E. coli as a flagellate bacterium and G. sulfurreducens as a biofilm forming bacterium. We first highlight the link between the bacterial network communication designwith respect tometabolic information processing design. The potentialities of designing routing network ...

Molecular Methods for Bacterial Strain Typing

ABSTRACT        Typing of bacteria is an important part of epidemiological studies on nosocomial infections. Bacterial identification methods have dramatically improved in recent years, which is mainly due to advancements in the field of molecular biotechnology. In many cases, molecular techniques have replaced phenotypic typing methods. Currently, a wide r...

Design and Selection Criteria for a National Web Archive

Web archives and Digital Libraries are conceptually similar, as they both store and provide access to digital contents. The process of loading documents into a Digital Library usually requires a strong intervention from human experts. However, large collections of documents gathered from the web must be loaded without human intervention. This paper analyzes strategies to select contents for a n...
