Comparative genomic analysis for nucleotide, codon, and amino acid usage patterns of mycoplasmas
The evolutionary factors in influencing the genetic characteristics of nucleotide, synonymous codon, and amino acid usage of 18 mycoplasma species were analyzed. The nucleotide usage at the 1st and 2nd codon position which determines amino acid composition of proteins has a significant correlation with the total nucleotide composition of gene population of these mycoplasma species, however, the nucleotide usage at the 3rd codon position which affects synonymous codon usage patterns has a slight correlation with either the total nucleotide composition or the nucleotide usage at the 1st and 2nd codon position. Other evolutio...

Changes in morphology and metabolism enable Mn ‐oxidizing bacteria from mid‐oceanic ridge environment to counter metal‐induced stress
Mn‐oxidizing potential of two metal‐tolerant bacterial strains – Halomonas meridiana and Marinobacter algicola isolated from the South West Indian Ridge waters were compared at varying concentrations of Mn (II), i.e., 1, 10, and 100 μmol and mmol L−1. Accompanying changes in their morphology and metabolism were also determined. At concentrations >1 mmol L−1 Mn (II), Mn‐oxidizing potential of M. algicola was 2–7 times greater than that of H. meridiana. Scanning electron microscopy revealed that exposure to elevated metal content prompted bacterial cells especially those of M. algicola to been envel...

WxcX is involved in bacterial attachment and virulence in Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris
In this study, it was indicated that mutation of wxcX resulted in enhanced bacterial attachment, reduced virulence on the host cabbage, and increased sensitivity to sodium dodecyl sulfate. The affected phenotypes of the wxcX mutant could be complemented to wild‐type levels by the intact wxcX gene. Site‐directed mutagenesis revealed that E408 and E411 are critical amino acid residues for WxcX function in bacterial attachment. Taken together, our results demonstrate the roles of wxcX in attachment, virulence, and tolerance to sodium dodecyl sulfate in Xanthomonas for the first time. (Source: Journal of Basic Microbiology)
