Performance of Bacterial Concrete with Agro-Waste Capsules
Applied Sciences (Switzerland)This study investigates the effects of agro-waste-based capsules made from grape seeds and cherry pits on the physical, mechanical, thermal and self-healing properties of concrete. Capsule-containing mixtures were compared with a reference concrete after

Nanoparticle-Stabilized Capsules for the Treatment of Bacterial Biofilms [PDF]
ACS Nano, 2015 Bacterial biofilms are widely associated with persistent infections. High resistance to conventional antibiotics and prevalent virulence makes eliminating these bacterial communities challenging therapeutic targets. We describe here the fabrication of a nanoparticle-stabilized capsule with a multicomponent core for the treatment of biofilms.

Long-Term Green Tea Supplementation Does Not Change the Human Gut Microbiota. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 BACKGROUND:Green tea catechins may play a role in body weight regulation through interactions with the gut microbiota. AIM:We examined whether green tea supplementation for 12 weeks induces changes in composition of the human gut microbiota.

Hybrid Living Capsules Autonomously Produced by Engineered Bacteria
Advanced Science, 2021 Bacterial cellulose (BC) has excellent material properties and can be produced sustainably through simple bacterial culture, but BC‐producing bacteria lack the extensive genetic toolkits of model organisms such as Escherichia coli (E. coli).

The bacterial capsule is a gatekeeper for mobile DNA
PLOS Biology, 2021 The horizontal transfer of mobile DNA is one of the signature moves of bacterial evolution, but the specific rules that govern this transfer remain elusive. In this PLOS Biology issue, Haudiquet and colleagues revealed that the interactions between mobile genetic elements and the bacterial capsule shape the horizontal flow of DNA in an important ...

Bacterial capsules: no barrier against Bdellovibrio [PDF]
Microbiology, 1997 Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus 109J attached to both capsulated and noncapsulated Escherichia coli K29 cells. Electron microscopy revealed penetration of the thick polysaccharide capsule without any major disintegration of the neighbouring capsular matrix.

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2018 Encapsulated Haemophilus influenzae strains belong to type-specific genetic lineages. Reliable capsule typing requires PCR, but a more efficient method would be useful. We evaluated capsule typing by using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-
