Microfluidic Platform to Study Electric Field Based Root Targeting by Pathogenic Zoospores
(IEEE, 2022)This paper reports the fabrication and application of a microfluidic Lab-on-a-Chip platform to study the electrotactic movements of pathogenic microorganisms. The movement of the pathogens in response to electric fields ... -
Biomechanical responses of encysted zoospores of the oomycete Achlya bisexualis to hyperosmotic stress are consistent with an ability to turgor regulate
(2022)Zoospores are motile, asexual reproductive propagules that enable oomycete pathogens to locate and infect new host tissue. While motile, they have no cell wall and maintain tonicity with their external media using water ... -
Field Effect Transistor-Like Control of Capillaric Flow Using Off-Valves
(IEEE, 2022)An important application area of microfluidics is point-of-care devices. Capillaric circuits are a promising technology to realize such devices. Recently, we introduced a capillary action off-valve which adds preprogrammed ... -
Three sites and you are out: Ternary synergistic allostery controls aromatic amino acid biosynthesis in Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
(University of Canterbury. Biomolecular Interaction Centre, 2013)3-Deoxy-D-arabino-heptulosonate 7-phosphate synthase (DAH7PS) catalyzes the first step in the shikimate pathway, the pathway responsible for the biosynthesis of the aromatic amino acids Trp, Phe, and Tyr. Unlike many ...
