  1. 1. Genetic diversity of the heat labile (LT) and heat stable (ST) toxins of human enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC): New insights into polymorphism, regulation, and gene transcription

    Författare :Enrique Joffre; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; ETEC; diversity; bacterial enterotoxins; polymorphism; gene regulation; gene transcription; Diarrhoeal disease; bacterial infection;

    Sammanfattning : Infection with enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) is a leading cause of diarrhea in children in developing countries and travelers to endemic regions. ETEC is a diverse pathogen, with a wide range of virulence factors including enterotoxins and more than 25 identified colonization factors (CFs). LÄS MER

  3. 2. Diversity and Ecosystem Functioning : Redundancy and Resilience in Freshwater Bacterial Communities

    Författare :Hannes Peter; Lars J. Tranvik; Eva S. Lindström; Silke Langenheder; Nelson G. Hairston; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; biodiversity; ecosystem functioning; bacteria; fresh water; biofilms; multifunctionality; ecological networks; perturbation; fragility; Biologi med inriktning mot limnologi; Biology with specialization in Limnology;

    Sammanfattning : Bacteria are immensely diverse and hold key-positions in essentially all biogeochemical cycles. In freshwater ecosystems, bacteria degrade and mineralize organic compounds, linking the pool of dissolved organic matter to higher trophic levels. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Assembly Mechanisms in Aquatic Bacterial Communities : The Role of Disturbances, Dispersal and History

    Författare :Mercè Berga Quintana; Silke Langenheder; Eva Lindström; Örjan Östman; Mathew Leibold; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; diversity; community composition; metacommunity;

    Sammanfattning : Environmental conditions, biotic interactions, dispersal and history have been suggested to be important processes influencing the spatial distribution of organisms and thus to affect community assembly. Understanding how these processes influence community assembly is important, particularly because community diversity and composition are suggested to be relevant for ecosystem functioning. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Significance and Diversity of Lake Bacteriophages

    Författare :David Lymer; Eva Lindström; Lars Tranvik; Ruth-Anne Sandaa; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; viral ecology; lake; bacteriophage; diversity; phosphorus; Freshwater ecology; Limnisk ekologi;

    Sammanfattning : Viruses has a relatively recently been discovered in high abundances in aquatic systems. Their possible importance has therefore been largely overlooked. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Hidden Diversity Revealed : Genomic, Transcriptomic and Functional Studies of Diplomonads

    Sammanfattning : The diplomonads are a diverse group of eukaryotic microbes found in oxygen limited environments such as the intestine of animals were they may cause severe disease. Among them, the prominent human parasite Giardia intestinalis non-invasively colonizes the small intestine of humans and animals where it induces the gastrointestinal disease giardiasis. LÄS MER
