Lipidomics of homeoviscous adaptation to low temperatures in Staphylococcus aureus utilizing exogenous straight-chain unsaturated fatty acids over biosynthesized endogenous branched-chain fatty acids

S. C. Barbarek, R. Shah, S. Paul, G. Alvarado, K. Appala, E. C. Henderson, E. T. Strandquist, A. Pokorny, V. K. Singh, C. Gatto, J.-U. Dahl, K. M. Hines, B. J. Wilkinson

This paper shows that Staphylococcus aureus uses exogenous unsaturated fatty acids to enhance growth at low temperatures through lipid remodeling and carotenoid production.

Lipidomic and Ultrastructural Characterization of Cell Envelope of Staphylococcus aureus Grown in the Presence of Human Serum

K. M. Hines, G. Alvarado, X. Chen, C. Gatto, A. Pokorny, F. Alonzo, B. J. Wilkinson, L. Xu

This study characterizes how human serum affects the lipid composition and cell envelope structure of Staphylococcus aureus, showing serum lipids associate with the cell surface but are not fully integrated into the membrane.

Prevalence of the fungal pathogen Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis in amphibians of Costa Rica predated first-known epizootic

V. T. Vredenburg, M. E. De Leon, H. Zumbado-Ulate, A. Garcia-Rodriguez, G. Alvarado, H. Sulaeman, F. Bolanos

This study finds that the fungal pathogen Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis was present in Costa Rican amphibians as early as 1964, with low prevalence before a 1980s epizootic.
