Antibacterial Activity of Greek and Cypriot Honeys Against Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa in Comparison to Manuka Honey
(2013)The antibacterial activity of 31 Greek and Cypriot honeys against Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa was initially screened using an agar-well diffusion assay in comparison with manuka honey. The minimum ... -
Bioactive compounds synthesized by non-ribosomal peptide synthetases and type-I polyketide synthases discovered through genome-mining and metagenomics
(2012)Non-ribosomal peptide synthetases (NRPS) and type-I polyketide synthases (PKS-I) are multimodular enzymes involved in biosynthesis of oligopeptide and polyketide secondary metabolites produced by microorganisms such as ... -
Correlation of total polyphenolic content with antioxidant and antibacterial activity of 24 extracts from Greek domestic Lamiaceae species
(2012)Lamiaceae family species are considered important because of their use in folk medicine, culinary and flavouring throughout the world. Their interesting bioactivities are attributed mainly to essential oils, polyphenols ... -
Cyanogenesis by the entomopathogenic bacterium Pseudomonas entomophila
(2009)Aims: To investigate whether the entomopathogenic bacterium Pseudomonas entomophila can synthesize hydrogen cyanide (HCN). Methods and Results: Cyanide production was assayed for during the growth of P. entomophila in ... -
Detection of a phylogenetically distinct IMP-type metallo-beta-lactamase, IMP-35, in a CC235 Pseudomonas aeruginosa from the Dutch-German border region (Euregio)
(2013)To characterize a highly divergent IMP-type metallo--lactamase (MBL) variant detected in a multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa clinical isolate. P. aeruginosa isolate 1876 was recovered from an anal swab of an ... -
Evolution and taxonomic distribution of nonribosomal peptide and polyketide synthases
(2008)The majority of nonribosomal peptide synthases and type I polyketide synthases are multimodular megasynthases of oligopeptide and polyketide secondary metabolites, respectively. Owing to their multimodular architecture, ... -
Functional characterization of TtgABC efflux pump of the RND family in the entomopathogenic bacterium Pseudomonas entomophila
(2015)Pseudomonas entomophila is a recently characterized entomopathogenic bacterium that can infect and kill Drosophila melanogaster upon ingestion. Although it is an environmental strain, it exhibits intrinsic resistance towards ... -
Molecular detection of the entomopathogenic bacterium Pseudomonas entomophila using PCR
(2010)Aims: To develop a specific, fast and simple molecular method useful to detect the entomopathogenic bacterium Pseudomonas entomophila. Methods and Results: The use of bioinformatics tools allowed the identification of ... -
Pepino mosaic virus triple gene block protein 1 (TGBp1) interacts with and increases tomato catalase 1 activity to enhance virus accumulation
(2013)Various plant factors are co-opted by virus elements (RNA, proteins) and have been shown to act in pathways affecting virus accumulation and plant defence. Here, an interaction between Pepino mosaic virus (PepMV) triple ... -
Posttranslational regulation impacts the fate of duplicated genes
(2010)Gene and genome duplications create novel genetic material on which evolution can work and have therefore been recognized as a major source of innovation for many eukaryotic lineages. Following duplication, the most likely ... -
Role of siderophores in cystic fibrosis pathogenesis: Foes or friends?
(2009)Cystic fibrosis (CF) is one of the most common genetic disorders among Caucasians. CF patients are susceptible to chronic lung infections caused by diverse microorganisms, therefore CF should be regarded as a polymicrobial ... -
Siderophores in fluorescent pseudomonads: new tricks from an old dog
(2007)Iron is an essential nutrient for almost all bacteria; however, at neutral pH its bioavailability, is limited. Siderophores are iron-binding compounds of low molecular weight that enable the microorganisms that produce ... -
Synthesis and characterization of poly(3-sulfopropylmethacrylate) brushes for potential antibacterial applications
(2007)This article describes the aqueous atom transfer radical polymerization synthesis of poly(3-sulfopropylmethacrylate) brushes onto gold and Si/SiO2 surfaces in a controlled manner. The effect of Cu(I)/Cu(II) ratio was ... -
Temperature-responsive sensing regulates biocontrol factor expression in Pseudomonas fluorescens CHA0
(2009)In the plant-beneficial, root-colonizing strain Pseudomonas fluorescens CHA0, the Gac/Rsm signal transduction pathway positively regulates the synthesis of biocontrol factors (mostly antifungal secondary metabolites) and ... -
Wet chemical silver treatment of endotracheal tubes to produce antibacterial surfaces
(2007)Mechanically ventilated patients in hospitals are subjected to an increased risk of acquiring nosocomial pneumonia that sometimes has a lethal outcome. One way to minimize the risk could be to make the surfaces on endotracheal ...
