[Abstract]  Biofilms are sessile communities of microbial cells embedded in a self-produced or host-derived exopolymeric matrix. Biofilms can both be beneficial or detrimental depending on the surface. Compared to their planktonic counterparts, biofilm cells display enhanced resistance to killing by environmental threats, chemicals, antimicrobials and host immune defenses. When in biofilms, the microbial cells interact with each other and with the surface to develop architecturally complex multi-dimensional structures. Numerous imaging techniques and tools are currently available for architectural analyses of biofilm communities. This allows examination of biofilm development through acquisition of three-dimensional images that can render structural features of the sessile community. A frequently ... [摘要]  生物膜是嵌入自生或宿主衍生的外聚合物基质中的微生物细胞的固着群落。根据表面,生物膜可以是有益的或有害的。与浮游生物相比,生物膜细胞表现出更强的抗环境威胁,化学物质,抗菌药物和宿主免疫防御能力。当处于生物膜中时,微生物细胞彼此相互作用并与表面相互作用以形成结构复杂的多维结构。目前,许多成像技术和工具可用于生物膜群落的建筑分析。这允许通过获取可以呈现无柄群落的结构特征的三维图像来检查生物膜的发展。经常使用的工具是共聚焦激光扫描显微镜。我们提出了一个详细的协议,以生长,观察和分析呼吸道人类病原体,百日咳博德特氏菌的生物膜在空间和时间。

【背景】百日咳博德特氏菌(Bordetella pertussis)是上呼吸道的专性人类病原体,引起百日咳或百日咳(Mooi,2010; Dorji et al。,2018)。 B的生物膜。百日咳在各种人造表面上以及静态,摇动和流体流动条件下形成(Mishra et al。,2005; Sloan et al。,2007 ; Serra et al。,2011)。对这些生物膜的显微评估表明,这种细菌产生不规则形状的微集落,由流体通道分隔,嵌入由细胞外DNA(eDNA),蛋白质和多糖组成的外聚合物基质中(Parise et al。,2007; Sloan et al。,2007; Serra et al。,2008; ...

[Abstract]  The advent of single cell genomics and the continued use of metagenomic profiling in diverse environments has exponentially increased the known diversity of life. The recovered and assembled genomes predict physiology, consortium interactions and gene function, but experimental validation of metabolisms and molecular pathways requires more directed approaches. Gene function–and the correlation between phenotype and genotype is most obviously studied with genetics, and it is therefore critical to develop techniques permitting rapid and facile strain construction. Many new and candidate archaeal lineages have recently been discovered, but experimental, genetic access to archaeal genomes is currently limited to a few model organisms. The results obtained from manipulating the genomes of ... [摘要]  单细胞基因组学的出现以及在不同环境中宏基因组分析的持续使用已经成倍地增加了已知的生命多样性。恢复和组装的基因组预测生理,财团相互作用和基因功能,但代谢和分子途径的实验验证需要更直接的方法。基因功能 - 表型和基因型之间的相关性用遗传学得到最明显的研究,因此开发允许快速和容易地构建应变的技术是至关重要的。最近已经发现了许多新的和候选的古细菌谱系,但是对古细菌基因组的实验性,遗传途径目前仅限于一些模式生物。操纵这些基因可获得的生物的基因组所获得的结果已经对我们对古菌生理和信息处理系统的理解产生了深远的影响,这些持续的研究也有助于解决生命树的系统发育重建。超嗜热,浮游,海洋异养古细菌Thermococcus kodakarensis已经成为理想的遗传系统,其具有一系列可用于增加或减少编码活性的技术或修饰基因在体内的表达 。我们在这里概述一些技术,可以快速,无标记地删除单个,或者重复删除几个连续的从 T的序列。 kodakarensis 基因组。我们的程序包括构建转化所必需的质粒DNA的细节,所述质粒DNA通过同源重组指导整合到基因组中,鉴定已经整合了质粒序列的菌株(称为中间菌株)和确认质粒切除,导致最终菌株中的目标基因。可以使用几乎相同的程序来修饰而不是删除基因组基因座。

【背景】古细菌常常在看起来荒凉和迅速变化的环境中繁衍生息。古菌基因组的分析揭示了大量的代谢策略,预测了复杂和高度相互依赖的基因表达的调控网络,并揭示了许多基因,其蛋白质和日益稳定的RNA产物缺乏确定的功能。通过遗传操作挑战现有的和定义新的途径的能力已经辅助了古细菌生理学和信息处理系统的去卷积,并且最近开放了古细菌物种到合成和系统级的方法来定义细胞内和细胞间网络。 ...
