Flagellar and twitching motility are necessary for <i>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</i> biofilm development

George A. O’Toole, Roberto Kolter · 1 Oct 1998

The formation of complex bacterial communities known as biofilms begins with the interaction of planktonic cells with a surface in response to appropriate environmental signals. We report the isolation and characterization of mutants of Pseudomonas aeruginosa PA14 defective in the initiation of biofilm formation on an abiotic surface, polyvinylchloride (PVC) plastic. These mutants are designated…

Genes required for mycobacterial growth defined by high density mutagenesis

Christopher M. Sassetti, Dana Boyd, Eric J. Rubin · 25 Mar 2003

Despite over a century of research, tuberculosis remains a leading cause of infectious death worldwide. Faced with increasing rates of drug resistance, the identification of genes that are required for the growth of this organism should provide new targets for the design of antimycobacterial agents. Here, we describe the use of transposon site hybridization (TraSH)…

Initiation of biofilm formation in <i>Pseudomonas fluorescens</i> WCS365 proceeds via multiple, convergent signalling pathways: a genetic analysis

George A. O’Toole, Roberto Kolter · 1 Apr 1998

Populations of surface-attached microorganisms comprising either single or multiple species are commonly referred to as biofilms. Using a simple assay for the initiation of biofilm formation (e.g. attachment to an abiotic surface) by Pseudomonas fluorescens strain WCS365, we have shown that: (i) P. fluorescens can form biofilms on an abiotic surface when grown on a…

Sex and virulence in <i>Escherichia coli</i>: an evolutionary perspective

Thierry Wirth, Daniel Falush, Ruiting Lan et al. · 4 May 2006

Pathogenic Escherichia coli cause over 160 million cases of dysentery and one million deaths per year, whereas non-pathogenic E. coli constitute part of the normal intestinal flora of healthy mammals and birds. The evolutionary pathways underlying this dichotomy in bacterial lifestyle were investigated by multilocus sequence typing of a global collection of isolates. Specific pathogen…

Identification of genes that are associated with DNA repeats in prokaryotes

Ruud Jansen, Jan D. A. van Embden, Wim Gaastra et al. · 1 Mar 2002

Using in silico analysis we studied a novel family of repetitive DNA sequences that is present among both domains of the prokaryotes (Archaea and Bacteria), but absent from eukaryotes or viruses. This family is characterized by direct repeats, varying in size from 21 to 37 bp, interspaced by similarly sized non-repetitive sequences. To appreciate their…

Molecular Microbiology template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Molecular Microbiology format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Molecular Microbiology template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official Wiley format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Molecular Microbiology use?
Molecular Microbiology uses Author–year (Chicago) references, shown as author–year markers such as (Smith, 2023) in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: Smith, Ada, Ben Jones, and Cara Lee. 2023. "A Representative Article Title." Molecular Microbiology 12 (3): 45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Molecular Microbiology?
No. DocuGuru generates the USG LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a Wiley-ready Molecular Microbiology document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Molecular Microbiology template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Molecular Microbiology format with correct headings, figures, tables, and author–year citations.
Who publishes Molecular Microbiology?
Molecular Microbiology is a multidisciplinary journal published by Wiley. DocuGuru's Molecular Microbiology template matches Wiley's official submission format.
Can I export a submission-ready Molecular Microbiology PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Molecular Microbiology template (the USG class) that is ready to submit to Wiley, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the Molecular Microbiology template cost?
You can start writing in the Molecular Microbiology template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready Molecular Microbiology PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
