The lipid A moiety of lipopolysaccharide forms the outer monolayer of the outer membrane of
most gram-negative bacteria. Escherichia coli lipid A is synthesized on the cytoplasmic …

Francisella tularensis is the causative agent of the acute disease tularemia. Due to its
extreme infectivity and ability to cause disease upon inhalation, F. tularensis has been …

Bacteria in the 16S rRNA clade SAR86 are among the most abundant uncultivated
constituents of microbial assemblages in the surface ocean for which little genomic …

A discrete uncoupling process for finite spaces is introduced, called the Markov Cluster
Process or the MCL process. The process is the engine for the graph clustering algorithm …

MetaCyc (MetaCyc. org) is a universal database of metabolic pathways and enzymes from
all domains of life. The pathways in MetaCyc are curated from the primary scientific …

Bacterial pathogens such as Yersinia pestis, Francisella tularensis, and Bacillus anthracis
are classified into the highest rank of potential bioterrorism agents. Colorimetric lateral flow …

The BioCyc database collection is a set of 160 pathway/genome databases (PGDBs) for
most eukaryotic and prokaryotic species whose genomes have been completely sequenced …

Tularemia is a disease caused by several subspecies of Francisella tularensis, although the
severity of the disease varies greatly from subspecies to subspecies. Currently, there are …

Lipopolysaccharide or LPS is localized to the outer leaflet of the outer membrane and serves
as the major surface component of the bacterial cell envelope. This remarkable glycolipid is …

The ability of gram-negative bacteria to resist killing by antimicrobial agents and to avoid
detection by host immune systems often entails modification to the lipopolysaccharide (LPS) …
