A VIRB4 ATPASE OF THE MOBILE ACCESSORY GENOME ORCHESTRATES CORE GENOME-ENCODED FEATURES OF PHYSIOLOGY, METABOLISM, AND VIRULENCE OF PSEUDOMONAS AERUGINOSA TBCF10839

A VirB4 ATPase of the mobile accessory genome orchestrates core genome-encoded features of physiology, metabolism, and virulence of Pseudomonas aeruginosa TBCF10839

Pseudomonas aeruginosa TBCF10839 is a highly virulent strain that can persist and replicate in human neutrophils.Screening of a signature-tagged mutagenesis (STM) TBCF10839 transposon library in phagocytosis tests identified a mutant that carried the transposon in the VirB4 homolog 5PG21 of an integrative and conjugative element (ICE)-associated ty

Retrodirective Antenna for Inter-Satellite Data Transmission

A new X-band retrodirective antenna based on superheterodyne mixer and phase conjugating technology is proposed for inter-satellite data transmission in this paper.The novel phase conjugating circuit, utilizing the reciprocity of the passive mixers, achieves high RF-IF and LO-IF isolations, high communication link gain, and a very compact low profi
