The article discusses the study which examines the connecting parts and processes of the pathway annotation for Bacillus subtilis through the genetic integration of SubtiWiki and SubtiPathways. It notes that the Bacillus subtilis is the model organism for the Gram-positive bacteria called Firmicutes. It implies that the SubtiWiki and SubtiPathways provide an integrated view of the gene expression and activity for B. subtilis.

The article presents a study on the identification of virulence factors of Candida albicans in mice disease. The fundamental purpose of the study is to apply isogenic mutants for the multifunctional signal-modulating 14-3-3 protein (Bmh1p) pathways. The study reveals that insufficiencies in pathways do not associate with virulence in mouse model infection. In conclusion, the bmhl mutant pathway has a key role to perform in virulence in the mouse model. The study further concludes that bmhl mutants determine significant cellular pathways which involve fundamental action with the host.

The article presents a study that demonstrates the development of pneumococcal capsule serotype 6X1 in serogroup 6 of Streptococcus pneumoniae by replacing the galactosyltransferase of the 6B capsule gene locus with the glucosyltransferase of 6C. It cites that serogroup 6 contains three serotype called 6A, 6B, and 6C with highly homologous capsule gene loci. It produced a TIGR6X1 strain by inserting wciN[6C] into 6B capsule gene locus to produce serotype 6X1, and shows that the new strain produces a capsular polysaccharide (PS) with predicted structure, serological display similar with 6B and can grow well as other member of serogroup 6.

The article cites a study of the chromosomal deletion of salmonella typhimurium gene flhE. It investigates that flhE has transcribed as part of flhBAE flagellar operon under the control of the flagellar master regulator. It highlights that it did not affect swimming motility, but abolished swarming motility across solid agar.
