Lin M, Ke W, Liu C, Yang M
Sci Rep . 2016 Apr; 6:25233. PMID: 27125382
Staphylococcus aureus is known to spread rapidly and form giant colonies on the surface of soft agar and animal tissues by a process called colony spreading. So far, the mechanisms...

J Microbiol Immunol Infect . 2016 Feb; 50(6):755-762. PMID: 26857334
Background: Fengycin is a lipopeptide antibiotic synthesized nonribosomally by five fengycin synthetases. These enzymes are linked in a specific order to form the complex. This study investigates how these enzymes...

Hsueh Y, Lin K, Ke W, Hsieh C, Chiang C, Tzou D, et al.
PLoS One . 2015 Dec; 10(12):e0144306. PMID: 26669836
The superior antimicrobial properties of silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) are well-documented, but the exact mechanisms underlying Ag-NP microbial toxicity remain the subject of intense debate. Here, we show that Ag-NP...

Front Microbiol . 2015 Nov; 6:1017. PMID: 26557106
Many Bacillus subtilis strains swarm, often forming colonies with tendrils on agar medium. It is known that B. subtilis swarming requires flagella and a biosurfactant, surfactin. In this study, we...
