Novel nanoparticle‐mediated plasmid delivery in bacteria for difficult applications
Abstract BACKGROUND This study presents the development and application of magnetite/silver‐pDMAEMA‐PEG‐BUFII nanobioconjugates as an advanced plasmid delivery system in bacteria. These nanobioconjugates demonstrated superior efficiency compared to traditional methods in four challenging applications: (i) genomic editing in Gram‐positive bacteria; (ii)

Cassava is a lifeline for millions of people across the tropics, but its productivity is at risk from a disease called Cassava Bacterial Blight (CBB). In this study, we explore how the everyday practices of farmers exchanging cassava cuttings—a long‐standing tradition—can shape how the disease spreads and evolves in the Colombian Caribbean.
