The mycobacterial selenocysteine machinery: presence and expression

Phani Rama Krishna Behra, Malavika Ramesh, B. M. Fredrik Pettersson, Leif A. Kirsebom

The paper identifies the presence and expression of selenocysteine machinery genes in 40% of mycobacterial genomes and suggests regulatory roles for selC.

Loss of Mycobacterium marinum ESX-1 genes increase transcription of ESX-6 genes

Phani Rama Krishna Behra, Malavika Ramesh, B. M. Fredrik Pettersson, Leif A. Kirsebom

The paper shows that loss of ESX-1 genes in M. marinum strain 1218S increases transcription of ESX-6 and LOS genes, affecting colony morphology and biofilm formation.

Extensive genomic diversity among Mycobacterium marinum strains revealed by whole genome sequencing

Sarbashis Das, B. M. Fredrik Pettersson, Phani Rama Krishna Behra, Amrita Mallick, Martin N. Cheramie, Malavika Ramesh, Lisa Shirreff, Tanner J. DuCote, Santanu Dasgupta, Don G. Ennis, Leif A. Kirsebom

This study uses whole genome sequencing to reveal extensive genomic diversity among Mycobacterium marinum strains, suggesting they should be divided into two clusters.
