Bacterial Community Associated with Healthy and Diseased Pacific White Shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) Larvae and Rearing Water across Different Growth Stages

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2017
Bacterial communities are called another “organ” for aquatic animals and their important influence on the health of host has drawn increasing attention.

Characterization of sediment bacterial communities in plain lakes with different trophic statuses

MicrobiologyOpen, 2017
Sediment microbial communities play an important role in lake trophic status. This study determined millions of Illumina reads (16S rRNA gene amplicons) to compare the bacterial communities in moderately eutrophic, lightly eutrophic, and moderately ...

Host‐Directed Biomaterials for Combatting Bloodstream Infections: From Macrocyclic Peptides to Immune‐Activating Cell Backpacks

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Bloodstream infections (BSI) are one of the leading causes of mortality and morbidity in both civilian and military populations. This paper summarizes recent progress in novel treatment strategies to manage BSI arising from both bacterial and fungal pathogens using molecules, particles, and materials to elicit host‐directed immunity.

Variations in the physicochemical properties of soil, enzyme activities, and the characteristics of bacterial communities within algal biocrusts and subsoils across different plant communities

Global Ecology and Conservation
Algal biological soil crusts (ABSCs) as ecological engineers inhabiting the soil-atmosphere boundary in dryland. Bacteria living at this boundary drive the diversity of ecosystem functions and services. However, it is still unknown whether differences in

Autogenic succession and deterministic recovery following disturbance in soil bacterial communities

Scientific Reports, 2017
The response of bacterial communities to environmental change may affect local to global nutrient cycles. However the dynamics of these communities following disturbance are poorly understood, given that they are often evaluated over macro-ecological ...

Functional Materials for Environmental Energy Harvesting in Smart Agriculture via Triboelectric Nanogenerators

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This review explores functional and responsive materials for triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) in sustainable smart agriculture. It examines how particulate contamination and dirt affect charge transfer and efficiency. Environmental challenges and strategies to enhance durability and responsiveness are outlined, including active functional layers ...

Bacterial communication through membrane vesicles [PDF]

Bioscience, Biotechnology, and Biochemistry, 2019
ABSTRACT Bacteria can communicate through diffusible signaling molecules that are perceived by cognate receptors. It is now well established that bacterial communication regulates hundreds of genes. Hydrophobic molecules which do not diffuse in aqueous environments alone have been identified in bacterial communication, that raised the ...

Microneedle‐Based Biofertilizer Delivery Improves Plant Growth Through Microbiome Engineering

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This figure shows how microneedles are used to deliver biofertilizers to enhance plant growth through microbial migration, metabolic reprogramming, and changes in plant endogenous microbiome. Abstract This study presents a microneedle‐based system for the delivery of rhizospheric biofertilizers into plant tissues to enhance growth.

Community acquired infections and bacterial resistance

BMJ, 1998
In this paper we review the problems of antibiotic resistance in community acquired infections. We discuss pathogens that have a large impact on morbidity and mortality in the community such as Streptococcus pneumoniae , Streptococcus pyogenes , Neisseria meningitidis , the enteric pathogens Salmonella spp and Campylobacter spp, and the urinary tract ...
