Characterisation of glutamine fructose-6-phosphate amidotransferase (EC 2.6.1.16) and N-acetylglucosamine metabolism in Bifidobacterium (2007)
Journal Article
Aïssi, E., Foley, S., Stolarczyk, E., Mouni, F., Brassart, C., Vidal, O., Aissi, E., Bouquelet, S., & Krzewinski, F. (2008). Characterisation of glutamine fructose-6-phosphate amidotransferase (EC 2.6.1.16) and N-acetylglucosamine metabolism in Bifidobacterium. Archives of Microbiology, 189(2), 157-167. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00203-007-0307-9

Bifidobacterium bifidum, in contrast to other bifido-bacterial species, is auxotrophic for N-acetylglucosamine. Growth experiments revealed assimilation of radiolabelled N-acetylglucosamine in bacterial cell walls and in acetate, an end-product of ce...

DNA-Binding Activity of the Streptococcus thermophilus Phage Sfi21 Repressor (2002)
Journal Article
Bruttin, A., Foley, S., & Brüssow, H. (2002). DNA-Binding Activity of the Streptococcus thermophilus Phage Sfi21 Repressor. Virology, 303(1), 100-109. https://doi.org/10.1006/viro.2002.1574

The cloned Streptococcus thermophilus phage Sfi21 repressor open reading frame (orf) 127 gp protects a cell against superinfection with the homologous temperate, but not against virulent phages. As demonstrated by DNase protection assay and gel shift... Read More about DNA-Binding Activity of the Streptococcus thermophilus Phage Sfi21 Repressor.

Molecular Analysis of the Replication Origin of the Lactococcus lactis Plasmid pCI305 (1996)
Journal Article
Foley, S., Bron, S., Venema, G., Daly, C., & Fitzgerald, G. F. (1996). Molecular Analysis of the Replication Origin of the Lactococcus lactis Plasmid pCI305. Plasmid, 36(2), 125-141. https://doi.org/10.1006/plas.1996.0040

The replication origin region, ori, of the Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis plasmid pCI305
contains three-and-one-half directly repeated 22-bp sequences and two inverted repeat sequences,
IR1 and IR2. These inverted repeat sequences overlap the pro... Read More about Molecular Analysis of the Replication Origin of the Lactococcus lactis Plasmid pCI305.
