The Bioinformatics group mostly focuses on building and maintaining new and unique biological databases. It maintains phiSITE, a database holding data on regulation of gene expression and general genomics of bacteriophages. Its integrated visualisation tool phiGENOME is optimised for visualising phage genomes, especially their gene regulatory elements. phiBIOTICS is phage-related database which collects information on representative enzybiotics and relevant research studies on their practical application in the field of phage therapy. The accompanying tool phiBiScan can reliably predict potential new enzybiotics based on their primary structure. viruSITE is a unique viral database which was developed to bring together high-value information on viruses compiled from various sources. The group also touches the field of theoretical biology. A mathematical model simulating the interaction between bacteriophages and their bacterial hosts was developed based on other known models describing these types of interactions, but enhanced by the ability to model the system when influenced by environmental factors such as pH and temperature.

The group also cooperates with a number of other research groups in Slovakia, mainly using its skills in DNA arrays and NGS data analysis. These include the study of the silkworm Bombyx mori neuroendocrine system (collaboration with the Insititute of Zoology SAS) and cancer research (collaboration with the Institute of Virology SAS, the Institute of Experimental Oncology SAS, and the National Institute of Oncology and Jessenius Faculty of Medicine in Martin). The group uses its broad knowledge of advanced analysis pipelines together with its available computing infrastructure to interpret the large data sets produced by these cutting edge technologies. In addition, the group is also involved in extensive international collaborations (running the national EMBnet node, participating in the preliminary phase of the ELIXIR consortium foundation, and participating in the COST ML4Microbiome project), teaching activities at Comenius University, and training Ph.D. students and young scientists (e.g. the DNA arrays and NGS data analysis workshop organised in 2015).

In natural habitats, bacteria are exposed to various stresses. Response to the stresses is mediated by stress-response sigma factors of RNA polymerase. For decades, we have been studying the role of sigma factors in Streptomyces. These soil bacteria undergo a remarkable process of morphological differentiation connected with the production of many antibiotics and other bioactive secondary metabolites. The genome of S. coelicolor contains genes for 65 sigma factors, including 9 close homologues of the Bacillus subtilis stress-response sigma factor SigB. It also has 45 RsbW-like anti-sigma factor genes, 17 RsbV-like anti-anti-sigma factor genes, and 44 activating RsbU/RsbP-like PP2C phosphatase genes. This indicates the complexity of the regulatory processes in Streptomyces in comparison to B. subtilis SigB system. The aim of the project is characterization of the complex regulation of these sigma factors by their regulators in response to stress and differentiation, and investigation of their promoter specificity.

Streptomyces are the main producers of biologically active secondary metabolites, including antibiotics. We have characterized a gene cluster for an angucycline antibiotic auricin. Its production is regulated by a complex regulation mechanism, involving both feed-forward and feed-back control by auricin intermediates through several transcriptional regulators. The aim of this project is investigation of biosynthesis and regulation of auricin. The other aim is to produce new biologically active compounds using the biosynthetic genes of auricin and other polyketide antibiotics by using synthetic biology approach. In the previous FP7 EU project STREPSYNTH, we modified the genome of the Streptomyces lividans strain in order to increase heterologous production of bioactive compounds and proteins. We are currentlz optimizing these strains for the production of clinically and commercially relevant substances and proteins.

In working group of Genomics we are focused on the study of bacteriophages and their genomes and  characterisation of essential phage proteins; particularly lytic, replication and structural. We use  methods of molecular biology, proteomics and bioinformatics. Our research models are the BFK20, a lytic phage isolated from Brevibacterium flavum CCM 251, industrial production strain of L-lysin and the phiBP phage isolated from Paenibacillus polymyxa, a polymyxin producer.Phage BFK20 is the first corynephage with entirely sequenced and analyzed genome (EMBL AJ278322). At present, we are mainly studying lytic proteins - endolysins of the BFK20 and phiBP that have potential of application in phage therapy to eliminate multi-resistant pathogenic bacteria and as an alternative to antibiotics. We also study replication proteins as a part of the BFK20 phage replication module, as well as their use for preparation of phage resistant strains.
