Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis has been instrumental in the birth and developments
of proteomics, although it is no longer the exclusive separation tool used in the field of …

Software-based image analysis is a crucial step in the biological interpretation of two-
dimensional gel electrophoresis experiments. Recent significant advances in image …

Short antimicrobial peptides rich in arginine (R) and tryptophan (W) interact with
membranes. To learn how this interaction leads to bacterial death, we characterized the …

Temperature influences the structural and functional properties of cellular components,
necessitating stress responses to restore homeostasis following temperature shift. Whereas …

Marine seaweeds increasingly grow into extensive algal blooms, which are detrimental to
coastal ecosystems, tourism and aquaculture. However, algal biomass is also emerging as a …

In this report, a genome-scale reconstruction of Bacillus subtilis metabolism and its iterative
development based on the combination of genomic, biochemical, and physiological …

An investigation of gene expression in Staphylococcus aureus after a switch from aerobic to
anaerobic growth was initiated by using the proteomic and transcriptomic approaches. In the …

Members of the phylum Bacteroidetes are abundant in many marine ecosystems and are
known to have a pivotal role in the mineralization of complex organic substrates such as …

Biofilm formation by Staphylococcus aureus involves the formation of an extracellular matrix,
but the composition of this matrix has been uncertain. Here we report that the matrix is …

Correct protein compartmentalization is a key step for molecular function and cell viability,
and this is especially true for membrane and externalized proteins of bacteria. Recent …
