A GENOME-WIDE ANALYSIS OF ADHESION IN CAULOBACTER CRESCENTUS IDENTIFIES NEW REGULATORY AND BIOSYNTHETIC COMPONENTS FOR HOLDFAST ASSEMBLY

A Genome-Wide Analysis of Adhesion in Caulobacter crescentus Identifies New Regulatory and Biosynthetic Components for Holdfast Assembly

ABSTRACT Due to their intimate physical interactions with the environment, surface polysaccharides are critical determinants of fitness for bacteria.Caulobacter crescentus produces a specialized structure at one of its cell poles called the holdfast that enables attachment to surfaces.Previous studies have shown that the holdfast is composed of car

Mapping of mitral regurgitant defects by cardiovascular magnetic resonance in moderate or severe mitral regurgitation secondary to mitral valve prolapse

Abstract Purpose In mitral valve prolapse, determining whether the valve is suitable for surgical repair depends on the location and mechanism of regurgitation.We assessed whether cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) could accurately identify prolapsing or flail mitral valve leaflets and regurgitant jet direction in patients with known moderate
