Antibiotic Resistant Bacterium Uses Sonar-like Strategy to “See?Enemies or Prey

For the first time, scientists have foundthat bacteria can use a Sonar-like system to spot other cells (eithernormal body cells or other bacteria) and target them for destruction.Reported in the December 24 issue of Science, this finding explains howsome bacteria know when to produce a toxin that makes infection moresevere. It may lead to the design of new toxin inhibitors. “Blocking orinte...

A bacterial genome reveals new targets to combat infectious disease

More than a billion people are at risk for infection with filarial nematodes, parasites that cause elephantiasis, African river blindness, and other debilitating diseases in more than 150 million people worldwide. The nematodes themselves play host to bacteria that live within their cells, but in this case, the relationship is classic mutualism, with each benefiting from the other. Indeed, the Wo...

Solution to Pollution: New Bacteria Eats Toxic Waste

Utah State University researchers recently discovered a new bacteria that is a natural cleanser for contaminated soil. The bacteria, now being used around the world, is an inexpensive and highly effective solution to pollution. “This project shows mother nature’s capability to be a master engineer,?said Ron Sims, biological and irrigation engineering department head. “Past disposal practi...

Hydrogen Peroxide / Peroxidase Fluorometric (resorufin) Assay Kit, Fluoro H2O2 from BACHEM

Description:This quick (10 min) assay can detect H2O2 or peroxidase activity utilizing a non-fluorescent substrate, 10-acetyl-3,7-dihydroxyphenoxazine (ADHP). H2O2 oxidizes ADHP in a 1:1 stoichiometry to produce a fluorescent product resorufin (excitation at 530-571 nm, emission at 590-600 nm). This reaction is catalyzed by peroxidase in a one-step, homogeneous, no wash assay system. ADHP can be utilized to...
