It appears that Hfq acts by controlling the expression of many virulence- and stress-associated genes, probably in conjunction with small noncoding RNAs, as a key regulator involved in Y. pestis stress resistance, intracellular survival and pathogenesis.

The notion that in addition to the reduced in vivo growth phenotype, the defect of pla expression in the crp mutant will greatly contribute to the huge loss of virulence of this mutant strain in subcutaneous infection is supported.

This study demonstrates the feasibility of increasing succinic acid production through the cytosolic reductive pathway by genetic engineering in A. saccharolyticus.
Involvement of multiple influx and efflux transporters in the accumulation of cationic fluorescent dyes by Escherichia coli

High-throughput flow cytometry is used to assess the ability of individual gene knockout strains of E coli to take up two membrane-permeable, cationic fluorescent dyes, namely the carbocyanine diS-C3(5) and the DNA dye SYBR Green, concluding that the uptake of these dyes may be catalysed by a great many transporters of putatively broad and presently unknown specificity.

It is shown that multivalent biologics, engineered using carbohydrate-binding modules specific for sialic acid, mask the cell-surface receptor recognized by the influenza virus and protect mice from a lethal challenge with 2009 pandemic H1N1 influenza virus.
