Prevalence and associations of tcpC, a gene encoding a Toll/Interleukin-1 receptor domain-containing protein, among pathogenic and commensal E. coli.

The prevalence of tcpC, encoding a new Toll/interteukin-1 receptor domain-containing protein involved in suppression of innate immunity was investigated among a collection of pathogenic E. coli strains and 90 commensal E. coli strains. Statistically significant associations were found between the presence of tcpC and the B2 phylogenetic group as well as virulence factors cnf1, hlyA, papGIII, sfaDE and usp.

Dynamics of microbial and viral communities in four aquatic environments

Investigation of the temporal dynamics of clonal lineages of Haloquadratum walsbyi in slaterns, revealed that the taxomic composition and metabolic capabilities of clonal lineages of H. walsbyi and their predators are relatively constant.
