Epidemiology of Staphylococcus aureus during space flight.

TL;DR: Staphylococcus aureus was isolated over 2 years from Space Shuttle mission crewmembers to determine dissemination and retention of bacteria as mentioned in this paper, and DNA fingerprinting of samples by digestion of DNA with SmaI restriction endonuclease followed by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis showed S. auresus from each crewmember had a unique fingerprint and usually only one strain was carried by an individual.
Journal ArticleDOI

Coverage theories for metagenomic DNA sequencing based on a generalization of Stevens’ theorem

TL;DR: An approach based upon a generalization of Stevens’ Theorem for randomly covering a domain is proposed, extending this result to account for the presence of multiple species, from which are derived useful probabilities for fully recovering a particular target microbe of interest and for average contig length.
Journal ArticleDOI

Increased production of colicin E1 in stationary phase.

TL;DR: The expression of cea-lacZ fusions was found to be stimulated when cells reached stationary phase and the data were consistent with this increase being independent of the SOS response, anaerobiosis, catabolite repression, and integration host factor as well as the stationary-phase regulators encoded by rpoS and lrp.
