11. Dynamics of Microbial Genome Evolution
Sammanfattning : The success of microbial life on Earth can be attributed not only to environmental factors, but also to the surprising hardiness, adaptability and flexibility of the microbes themselves. They are able to quickly adapt to new niches or circumstances through gene evolution and also by sheer strength of numbers, where statistics favor otherwise rare events. LÄS MER
12. Amelioration of Horizontally Transferred Genes
Sammanfattning : The importance of Horizontal (Lateral) Gene Transfer has attracted much attention during the last few decades. It is a very important factor in bacterial evolution and ecology, and it has great implications on human life as well. LÄS MER
13. Genetic organization of encapsulated and non-encapsulated Haemophilus influenzae strains. Analysis of the glpTQ and 23S rRNA operons
Sammanfattning : Encapsulated Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) and non-encapsulated H. influenzae (NTHi) are important pathogens causing invasive and mucosal infections in children. A 42 kDa surface-exposed lipoprotein, protein D, has been found to be a potential virulence factor of NTHi. LÄS MER
14. Tales of the flying earth: The effect of host flyways on the phylogeny of shorebird lice (Phthiraptera: Ischnocera)
Sammanfattning : On the wings, bodies, and heads of most birds there are lice. These lice spend their whole lives on their host, with the exception of the few lice that get the opportunity to transfer from one host to another, typically when the hosts come into physical contact with each other.

15. Competence pilus biogenesis in Streptococcus pneumoniae
Sammanfattning : Horizontal gene transfer drives bacterial evolution and is crucial for the pathogenicity of many bacteria that can exchange genetic material through distinct mechanisms such as natural transformation. S. LÄS MER
