Thermomechanical and Photophysical Properties of Crystal-Violet-Dye/H2O Based Dissolutions via the Pulsed Laser Photoacoustic Technique by Vicente Torres-Zúñiga, Rosalba Castañeda-Guzmán, Santiago J. Pérez-Ruiz, Omar G. Morales-Saavedra

“…An appropriate processing of the photoacoustic signals allows an adequate data analysis of the generated waves within the system, providing an accurate determination of the speed of sound as function of the dye-concentration. The acoustic attenuation was calculated based on the distance of the two PZT-microphones to an acoustic-source point and performing linear-fitting of the experimental data (RMS-amplitudes) as function of the dye-concentration. …”

Lipoprotein N-terminal modification in Bacillus: a new paradigm for extracellular acetylation and species-dependent Toll-like receptor 2 immunomodulation by Gloria Komazin, Rachel M. Wigmore, Aditi M. Ranade, Amena A. Rizk, John H. Gardiner, Timothy C. Meredith

“…While Ac-LP biosynthetic pathway genes appear to be universally conserved in all Bacillus spp., those associated with pathogenic lineages have often lost function. In B. anthracis strains, LhaT has been inactivated by insertion of poly-tyrosine runs of variable length that favors chemotype conversion to lyso-LP and evasion of TLR2 detection. …”
