Fate Mapping Escherichia Coli Tissue Development
نویسنده
چکیده
Cell lineage tracing is a fundamental digital image processing tool for developmental biologists to probe the roles of cell differentiation, cell adhesion, and cell movement among other biophysical principles, in developmental programs. In this project I create an extension of cell lineage tracingtissue fate mapping or tissue lineage tracing. Tissue lineage tracing is useful for observing biophysical and geometric parameters of a developing tissue. I first evaluate different tissue abstraction algorithms and then characterize roundness and fractal dimension of the resulting tissues to demonstrate the utility of this approach. Keywords—Lineage tracing; Morphological Image Processing; Fractal Dimension; Roundness

Development of 16S rRNA targeted PCR methods for the detection of Escherichia coli in Rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss)
Objectives: The presence of E.coli in fish intended for human consumption may constitute a potential danger, not only in causing disease, but also because of the possible transfer of antibiotic resistance from aquatic bacteria to those infecting humans. The objective of this study was to develop an improved PCR method based on species – specific 16 S rRNA gene primers (FES,...
متن کاملInvestigation of adherent-invasive E. coli in patients with Crohn\'s disease
Background: Crohn's disease and Ulcerative colitis are known as inflammatory bowel disease with high morbidity which are as a result of increasing immune responses to intestinal microbiota in genetically susceptible individuals. The association of adherent invasive Escherichia coli with Crohn's disease in human has been discussed for decades. The principal aim of this study was to assess the re...
متن کاملMorphogen-defined patterning of Escherichia coli enabled by an externally tunable band-pass filter
BACKGROUND Gradients of morphogens pattern cell fate - a phenomenon that is especially important during development. A simple model system for studying how morphogens pattern cell behavior would overcome difficulties inherent in the study of natural morphogens in vivo. A synthetic biology approach to building such a system is attractive. RESULTS Using an externally-tunable band-pass filter pa...
متن کاملEnterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli O157:H7 survival in an in vitro model of the human large intestine and interactions with probiotic yeasts and resident microbiota.
This is the first report on the fate of enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli O157:H7 in simulated human colonic conditions. The pathogen was progressively eliminated from the bioreactor and did not modify the major populations of resident microbiota. The coadministration of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae CNCM I-3856 probiotic strain led to a significant increase in acetate production but did not re...
متن کاملGenetic transformation in freshwater: Escherichia coli is able to develop natural competence.
Until now, Escherichia coli was thought to be unable to develop natural competence, i.e., genetic transformation could be achieved only artificially with the aid of nonphysiological concentrations of calcium ions or by other treatments. We have tested the competence development of E. coli through transformation under natural conditions in river water, springwater, and mineral water which contai...
