Journal ArticleDOI
The leader peptide is essential for the post-translational modification of the DNA-gyrase inhibitor microcin B17
TL;DR: Using a modification‐specific antibody rather than antimicrobial activity, it is shown that the 26‐amino‐acid N‐terminal leader of preMccB17 is essential for the conversion ofPreMcc B17 into MccB 17.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plasmid genes required for microcin B17 production
TL;DR: Results from these experiments indicate that at least four plasmid genes are required for microcin production.
Journal ArticleDOI
The maturation pathway of microcin B17, a peptide inhibitor of DNA gyrase.
TL;DR: The maturation pathway of microcin B17 (MccB17), a ribosomally synthesized peptide antibiotic which inhibits DNA gyrase, has been characterized and dramatic structural changes that result from the modifications are demonstrated and used to distinguish intermediates in the steps of maturation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biofilms in lab and nature: a molecular geneticist's voyage to microbial ecology.
TL;DR: This article reviews the latest findings on how extracellular signaling controls cell fate determination during the process of biofilm formation by Bacillus subtilis in the artificial setting of the laboratory and reveals a role not previously known for two molecules known for other activities.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microbial diversity under extreme euxinia: Mahoney Lake, Canada.

TL;DR: Distributions of 16S rRNA genes are profiled using gene clone libraries and PhyloChip microarrays to suggest zonation of sulfur cycle processes in this stratified system of Mahoney Lake.
