Genome sequence of enterohaemorrhagic Escherichia coli O157:H7
- Nicole T. Perna, Guy Plunkett, +25 authors F. Blattner
- Biology, Medicine
- Nature
- 25 January 2001
The bacterium Escherichia coli O157:H7 is a worldwide threat to public health and has been implicated in many outbreaks of haemorrhagic colitis, some of which included fatalities caused by haemolytic… Expand
A molecular timeline for the origin of photosynthetic eukaryotes.
- H. Yoon, J. Hackett, C. Ciniglia, Gabriele Pinto, D. Bhattacharya
- Biology, Medicine
- Molecular biology and evolution
- 1 May 2004
The appearance of photosynthetic eukaryotes (algae and plants) dramatically altered the Earth's ecosystem, making possible all vertebrate life on land, including humans. Dating algal origin is,… Expand
Phylogenomic analysis supports the monophyly of cryptophytes and haptophytes and the association of rhizaria with chromalveolates.
- J. Hackett, H. Yoon, Shenglan Li, Adrián Reyes-Prieto, Susanne E Rümmele, D. Bhattacharya
- Biology, Medicine
- Molecular biology and evolution
- 1 August 2007
Here we use phylogenomics with expressed sequence tag (EST) data from the ecologically important coccolithophore-forming alga Emiliania huxleyi and the plastid-lacking cryptophyte Goniomonas cf.… Expand
A single origin of the peridinin- and fucoxanthin-containing plastids in dinoflagellates through tertiary endosymbiosis
- H. Yoon, J. Hackett, D. Bhattacharya
- Biology, Medicine
- Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences…
- 9 August 2002
The most widely distributed dinoflagellate plastid contains chlorophyll c2 and peridinin as the major carotenoid. A second plastid type, found in taxa such as Karlodinium micrum and Karenia spp.,… Expand
Dinoflagellates: a remarkable evolutionary experiment.
- J. Hackett, D. M. Anderson, D. Erdner, D. Bhattacharya
- Biology, Medicine
- American journal of botany
- 1 October 2004
In this paper, we focus on dinoflagellate ecology, toxin production, fossil record, and a molecular phylogenetic analysis of hosts and plastids. Of ecological interest are the swimming and feeding… Expand
Photosynthetic eukaryotes unite: endosymbiosis connects the dots.
- D. Bhattacharya, H. Yoon, J. Hackett
- Biology, Medicine
- BioEssays : news and reviews in molecular…
- 2004
The photosynthetic organelle of algae and plants (the plastid) traces its origin to a primary endosymbiotic event in which a previously non-photosynthetic protist engulfed and enslaved a… Expand
Insights into a dinoflagellate genome through expressed sequence tag analysis
- J. Hackett, T. Scheetz, +4 authors D. Bhattacharya
- Medicine, Biology
- BMC Genomics
- 29 May 2005
BackgroundDinoflagellates are important marine primary producers and grazers and cause toxic "red tides". These taxa are characterized by many unique features such as immense genomes, the absence of… Expand
Evolution of saxitoxin synthesis in cyanobacteria and dinoflagellates.
- J. Hackett, Jennifer H. Wisecaver, +5 authors D. Erdner
- Biology, Medicine
- Molecular biology and evolution
- 2013
Dinoflagellates produce a variety of toxic secondary metabolites that have a significant impact on marine ecosystems and fisheries. Saxitoxin (STX), the cause of paralytic shellfish poisoning, is… Expand
The Single, Ancient Origin of Chromist Plastids
- H. Yoon, J. Hackett, Gabriele Pinto, D. Bhattacharya
- Biology
- 1 June 2002
Algae include a diverse array of photosynthetic eukaryotes exclud-ing land plants. Explaining the origin of algal plastids continues tobe a major challenge in evolutionary biology. Current… Expand
Origin of Saxitoxin Biosynthetic Genes in Cyanobacteria
- Ahmed Moustafa, J. E. Loram, J. Hackett, D. M. Anderson, F. Plumley, D. Bhattacharya
- Biology, Medicine
- PloS one
- 1 June 2009
Background Paralytic shellfish poisoning (PSP) is a potentially fatal syndrome associated with the consumption of shellfish that have accumulated saxitoxin (STX). STX is produced by microscopic… Expand
