The initial inoculation ratio regulates bacterial coculture interactions and metabolic capacity

Different methods of bacterial inoculation on the yield of chamomile blossoms and essential oil

Chamomile is one of the most wide spread medicinal plant cultivated in Egypt. This work aimed at enhancement of blossoms and oil production of chamomile plants via biofertilization with PGPRs under organic farming system. In this study, 6 bacterial strains were applied using two different inoculation techniques. The first application method was throughout soaking the roots of seedlings in the b...

Competitive and cooperative metabolic interactions in bacterial communities.

Revealing the ecological principles that shape communities is a major challenge of the post-genomic era. To date, a systematic approach for describing inter-species interactions has been lacking. Here we independently predict the competitive and cooperative potential between 6,903 bacterial pairs derived from a collection of 118 species' metabolic models. We chart an intricate association betwe...

Osteoblast and chondrocyte interactions during coculture on scaffolds.

The Effects of Neisserial Surface Molecules and Initial Bacterial Dose on Interactions with Human Mononuclear Phagocytes

Title of Document: THE EFFECTS OF NEISSERIAL SURFACE MOLECULES AND INITIAL BACTERIAL DOSE ON INTERACTIONS WITH HUMAN MONONUCLEAR PHAGOCYTES Julia Beth Patrone, Ph.D., 2006 Directed By: Professor, Daniel C. Stein, CBMG Neisseria gonorrhoeae is an important human pathogen which causes significant worldwide morbidity. The effects of two important neisserial surface molecules, LOS and H.8, as well ...

gm-csf differentially regulates eosinophil and neutrophil adhesive interactions with vascular endothelium in vivo

allergic airway inflammation is characterized by elaboration of cytokines and chemokines leading to recruitment of inflammatory leukocytes, predominantly eosinophils, to the airways. granulocyte macrophage colony stimulating factor (gm-csf) is generated in the lungs of human subjects with asthma in response to allergen challenge and is necessary for the development of allergen-induced bronchial...
