A global atlas of the dominant bacteria found in soil
A global map of soil bacteria Soil bacteria play key roles in regulating terrestrial carbon dynamics, nutrient cycles, and plant productivity. However, the natural histories and distributions of these organisms remain largely undocumented.

A Novel, Time-effective Approach for Capturing Bacteria from Contaminated Urine Samples [PDF]
A fundamental step in the race to design a rapid diagnostic test for antimicrobial resistance is the separation of bacteria from their matrix. Many recent studies have been focused on the development of systems capable of separating and capturing bacteria from different liquid environments. Herein, we introduce a new approach to this issue by using the

Bacteriophages as an Up-and-Coming Alternative to the Use of Sulfur Dioxide in Winemaking [PDF]
Certain acetic and lactic acid bacteria are major causes of quality defects in musts and wines, giving rise to defects such as a "vinegary," "sharp, like nail polish-remover" taste or preventing alcoholic and/or malolactic fermentation. Sulfur dioxide is

Effect of motility on the transport of bacteria populations through a porous medium [PDF]
The role of activity on the hydrodynamic dispersion of bacteria in a model porous medium is studied by tracking thousands of bacteria in a microfluidic chip containing randomly placed pillars. We first evaluate the spreading dynamics of two populations of motile and non-motile bacteria injected at different flow rates.

Bacteria colonies modify their shear and compressive mechanical properties in response to different growth substrates [PDF]
Bacteria build multicellular communities termed biofilms, which are often encased in a self-secreted extracellular matrix that gives the community mechanical strength and protection against harsh chemicals. How bacteria assemble distinct multicellular structures in response to different environmental conditions remains incompletely understood. Here, we

Protein Complexes in Bacteria [PDF]
Large-scale analyses of protein complexes have recently become available for Escherichia coli and Mycoplasma pneumoniae, yielding 443 and 116 heteromultimeric soluble protein complexes, respectively.

In this issue, Bushell and colleagues report the structure of Escherichia coli Wzi, an outer membrane protein, and provide evidence that it functions as a lectin for K30 capsule polysaccharide, thereby anchoring it to the cell surface.

The Influence of Motility on Bacterial Accumulation in a Microporous Channel [PDF]
We study the transport of bacteria in a porous media modeled by a square channel containing one cylindrical obstacle via molecular dynamics simulations coupled to a lattice Boltzmann fluid. Our bacteria model is a rod-shaped rigid body which is propelled by a force-free mechanism.

The role of the motility of Methylobacterium in bacterial interactions in drinking water [PDF]
Bacterial motility is one important factor that affects biofilm formation. In drinking water there are key bacteria in aggregation, whose biology acts to enhance the formation of biofilms. However, it is unclear whether the motility of these key bacteria
