The Fine Tuned Physiology of Microaerophilic Gastric Spirilla

微需氧胃螺菌的微调生理。该项目的目的是了解弯曲杆菌属和螺杆菌属的肠胃螺旋细菌生理学基本特性的分子基础。这些专性microaerophiles，将被调查的特点是他们的好氧呼吸链，特殊的代谢产物和酶参与硫醇-二硫化物氧化还原平衡，和他们的二氧化碳的基本要求。微需氧菌包括一些细菌、古生菌和原生动物。认识到微需氧菌的广泛栖息地和重要性，最近导致了对了解其生理学的浓厚兴趣。微需氧菌的基本特性在环境微生物学、农业、工业微生物学、兽医学和医学等领域具有潜在的应用价值。

The Fine Tuned Physiology of Microaerophilic Gastric Spirilla. The aim of the project is to understand the molecular basis of fundamental properties of the physiology of enterogastric spiral bacteria of the genera Campylobacter and Helicobacter. The characteristics of these obligate microaerophiles which will be investigated are their aerobic respiratory chains, the special metabolites and enzymes involved in thiol-disulphide redox balance, and their essential requirement for carbon dioxide. Microaerobes include some bacteria, archea and protozoa. Realisation of the widespread habitats and importance of microaerophiles, has led recently to a vigorous interest in understanding their physiology. Knowledge of the basic properties of microaerophily has potential applications to Environmental Microbiology, Agriculture, Industrial Microbiology, Veterinary Science and Medicine.
