N-acetyltalosaminuronic acid  n.

p. 45

The latter differs from the bacterial peptidoglycan bey having l- (rathen than d-) amino acids and being made of disaccharide units of N-acetylglucosamine and N-acetyltalosaminuronic acid (rather than N-acetylmuramic acid) bonded by xbetax-1,3 (rather than xbetax-1,4) linkages.


Nanoarcheum  [nom científic]

p. 63

The smallest corresponds to an archaeon aptly named Nanoarcheum, whose genome contains some 490,000 base pairs.


nanoDESI  n. (nanospray desorption electrospray ionization)

p. 538

The small molecules that are secreted in situ by a microbial community can be identified by another technique -one with a formidable name, nanospray desorption electrospray ionization (nanoDESI).


nanoscale secondary ion mass spectrometry  n. (NanoSIMS)

p. 528

Interactions among microbes can also be inferred using nanoscale secondary ion mass spectrometry (NanoSIMS).

nanospray desorption electrospray ionization  n. (nanoDESI)

p. 538

The small molecules that are secreted in situ by a microbial community can be identified by another technique -one with a formidable name, nanospray desorption electrospray ionization (nanoDESI).


natural resistance-associated macrophage protein 1  n. (NRAMP1)

p. 661

Macrophages pump ferrous iron (Fe2+) away from any microbial cargo in their phagosomes by using the so-called natural resistance-associated macrophage protein 1 (NRAMP1).


negative supercoil  n.

p. 66

But this does not happen because the second enzyme, topoisomerase I, counteracts gyrase by making single-strand breaks and relaxing the negative supercoils.


neonatal herpes infection  n.

p. 697

Using a neonatal herpes infection as a lens, we'll examine how this insidious virus exploits a host innate defense against foreign DNA to persist in a latent state under the radar of the innate immune system, only to reactivate, catch a ride on microtubules, trigger new blisters, and spread from one person to another.


Nile blue A  n.

p. 61

But when she stained the cells with the fluorescent dye Nile blue A and examined them with a fluorescence microscope, a large number of intracellular yellow granules were apparent.


Nitrosomas  [nom científic]

p. 566

In the first step of the process, ammonia-oxidizing Bacteria or Archaea (such as the bacterial genus Nitrosomas) oxidize ammonia to nitrite while reducing oxygen.


NLR  n. (NOD-like receptor)

p. 639

Another class of pattern-recognition receptors is the NOD-like receptors or NLRs.


NOD-like receptor  n. (NLR)

p. 639

Another class of pattern-recognition receptors is the NOD-like receptors or NLRs.


noncomposite transposon  n.

p. 277

The transposon can also carry extra genes (most often, antibiotic resistance genes) (noncomposite transposons) or even contain two IS elements flanking additional genes (composite transposons).


non-cyclic photosynthesis  n.

p. 153

In most phototrophs, however, the electrons do not return to the light-sensitive pigment but flow to NADP+ to make reducing power, a process of non-cyclic photosynthesis (Fig. 6.15).


NRAMP1  n. (natural resistance-associated macrophage protein 1 )

p. 661

Macrophages pump ferrous iron (Fe2+) away from any microbial cargo in their phagosomes by using the so-called natural resistance-associated macrophage protein 1 (NRAMP1).


nuclear occlusion  n.

p. 105

Thus, this nuclear occlusion model proposes that the zone of the cell occupied by the nucleoid is a forbidden zone for cell division.


nutritional immunity  n.

p. 661

Thus, by actively sequestering these metals, the host impedes bacterial respiration, DNA synthesis, and other key processes. This broad host strategy for restricting microbial growth is known as nutritional immunity.


nutritional symbiosis  n.

p. 594

Nutritional symbiosis between bacteria and insects. A particularly well-studied example of nutritional symbiotic association in that between aphids, small soft-bodied insects that are common pests of plants, and Gram-negative bacteria called Buchnera.
