BugBase predicts organism-level microbiome phenotypes
Tonya Ward,Larson J,Meulemans J,Benjamin Hillmann,Josh Lynch,Dimitri Sidiropoulos,Caporaso G,Ran Blekhman,Rob Knight,Ryan C. Fink,Dan Knights +10 more
TL;DR: BugBase is presented, an algorithm that predicts organism-level coverage of functional pathways as well as biologically interpretable phenotypes such as oxygen tolerance, Gram staining and pathogenic potential, within complex microbiomes using either whole-genome shotgun or marker gene sequencing data.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular evolution and structure--function relationships of the superoxide dismutase gene families in angiosperms and their relationship to other eukaryotic and prokaryotic superoxide dismutases.
Ryan C. Fink,John G. Scandalios +1 more
TL;DR: The findings suggest that the 5' region of these genes played a pivotal role in the evolution of function of these enzymes, and it is critical to understand the physiological differences between the SODs in response to different stresses in order to compare their functions and evolutionary history.
Journal ArticleDOI
Elderberry flavonoids bind to and prevent H1N1 infection in vitro
TL;DR: The Direct Binding Assay established that flavonoids from the elderberry extract bind to H1N1 virions and, when bound, block the ability of the viruses to infect host cells.
Journal ArticleDOI
FNR Is a Global Regulator of Virulence and Anaerobic Metabolism in Salmonella enterica Serovar Typhimurium (ATCC 14028s)
Ryan C. Fink,Matthew R. Evans,Steffen Porwollik,Andrés Vázquez-Torres,Jessica Jones-Carson,Bryan Troxell,Stephen J. Libby,Michael McClelland,Hosni M. Hassan +8 more
TL;DR: The role of FNR as a positive regulator of motility, flagellar biosynthesis, and pathogenesis was confirmed by showing that the isogenic fnr mutant is nonmotile, lacks flagella, is attenuated in mice, and does not survive inside macrophages.
Journal ArticleDOI
Transcriptional responses of Escherichia coli K-12 and O157: H7 associated with lettuce leaves
Ryan C. Fink,Elaine P. Black,Zhe Hou,Masayuki Sugawara,Michael J. Sadowsky,Francisco Diez-Gonzalez +5 more
TL;DR: The data suggested that the interaction of E. coli K-12 and O157:H7 with undamaged lettuce leaves likely is initiated via attachment to the leaf surface using curli fibers, a downward shift in their metabolism, and the suppression of biofilm formation.
