Genetic Transformation of Crops for Insect Resistance: Potential and Limitations (2004, background): “The Bt δ-endotoxins are now known to constitute a family of related proteins for which 140 genes have been described ( Crickmore et al. , 1998 ), with specificities for Lepidoptera, Coleoptera, and Diptera.”
Size doesn’t matter: towards a more inclusive philosophy of biology (2007, background): “Biofilms enable close intercellular contact that involves the exchange of many different molecules and allows greater metabolic diversity, as in the multistage digestive processes carried out by prokaryotes in the bovine rumen, as well as genetic transmission between cells and the rapid acquisition ”
Understanding the Mechanism of Bacterial Biofilms Resistance to Antimicrobial Agents (2017, background): “The active cells in bacterial growth influenced by the glycocalyx matrix and degradative enzymes that regulate signaling molecule production such as S-adenosyl methionine and acyl-carrier proteins [51].”
Structure of the insecticidal bacterial δ-endotoxin Cry3Bb1 of Bacillus thuringiensis (2001, background): “The currently known B. thuringiensis -endotoxins have been grouped into 22 classes based on sequence homology (Crickmore et al., 1998; Schnepf, 1995).”
Another View on Bt Proteins - How Specific are They and What Else Might They Do? (2006, background): “Crickmore et al. (1998) introduced a new nomenclature based on relationships in the amino acid sequences of the toxins.”
The effects of ferulic and salicylic acids on Bacillus cereus and Pseudomonas fluorescens single- and dual-species biofilms (2014, background): “Microbial adhesion to surfaces and consequent biofilm formation is a survival strategy that has been studied and documented in recent decades (Watnick and Kolter, 2000).”
Bacillus thuringiensis: a century of research, development and commercial applications. (2011, background): “The toxins can be described in terms of their amino acid sequences, protein structures and modes of activity (Crickmore et al., 1998).”
Partial characterization of cotton plants expressing two toxin proteins from Bacillus thuringiensis: relative toxin contribution, toxin interaction, and resistance management (2003, background): “A comparison of amino acid sequences reveals that Cry1Ac and Cry2Ab share <30% identity (Crickmore et al., 1998).”
How Staphylococcus aureus biofilms develop their characteristic structure (2012, background): “The creation of a viable biofilm requires channels through which nutrients can penetrate into deeper biofilm layers and thus, additional factors that disrupt cell–cell interactions (3).”
Mode of action of Bacillus thuringiensis Cry and Cyt toxins and their potential for insect control. (2007, background): “Among these, are binarylike toxins and Mtx-like toxins related to B. sphaericus toxins, and parasporins produced by B. thuringiensis (Crickmore et al., 1998).”
Persistence and biological activity in soil of the insecticidal proteins from Bacillus thuringiensis, especially from transgenic plants (2005, methodology): “edu flagellar H-antigens of the bacteria that produce them (Höfte and Whiteley, 1989; Crickmore et al., 1998).”
Untapped potential: exploiting fungi in bioremediation of hazardous chemicals (2011, background): “Aromatic nitroreductases ( Table 1 ) are widespread among fungi and reduce TNT to hydroxylamino- and amino-dinitrotoluenes, which are excreted and may undergo various further enzymatic and non-enzymatic reaction”
