Bacteria‐Responsive Nanostructured Drug Delivery Systems for Targeted Antimicrobial Therapy

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Bacteria‐responsive nanocarriers are designed to release antimicrobials only in the presence of infection‐specific cues. This selective activation ensures drug release precisely at the site of infection, avoiding premature or indiscriminate release, and enhancing efficacy.

Biogeographic distribution patterns of bacteria in typical Chinese forest soils

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016
Microbes are widely distributed in soils and play a very important role in nutrient cycling and ecosystem services. To understand the biogeographic distribution of forest soil bacteria, we collected 115 soil samples in typical forest ecosystems across ...

Bacterial diversity and community structure in the rhizosphere of four Ferula species [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2018
AbstractThe medicinal value of the Ferula L. has been recognized for more than a thousand years. Wild stocks of Ferula have declined dramatically because high economic value has led to overharvesting. The objective of this study was to compare the rhizosphere microbial community of four Ferula species [F. syreitschikowii K.-Pol., F.

Salinity Effect on Soil Bacterial and Archaeal Diversity and Assembly in Phragmites australis Salt Marshes in the Qaidam Basin, China

Microorganisms
Extreme environments foster phylogenetically diverse microorganisms and unique community assembly patterns. Plateau saline marsh lakes represent understudied extreme habitats characterized by dual stressors of high salinity and low temperature.

Diversity and Functionality of Culturable Endophytic Bacterial Communities in Chickpea Plants [PDF]

Plants, 2019
The aims of this study were to isolate, identify and characterize culturable endophytic bacteria from chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) roots grown in different soils. In addition, the effects of rhizobial inoculation, soil and stress on the functionality of those culturable endophytic bacterial communities were also investigated.

Negotiating in a Foreign Land: Understanding the Curious Interactions Between Intracellular Mitochondria and Internalized Nanoparticles

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Therapeutic nano‐drug delivery systems interact with cellular mitochondria in a multitude of ways. While the complexity of such interactions disrupts the mitochondrial electron transport chain and increases reactive oxygen species production, thereby contributing to nanoparticle toxicity, they also present unique theranostic opportunities in diseases ...

Changes in the bacterial community structure and diversity during bamboo retting [PDF]

Biotechnology Journal, 2011
AbstractMicrobial retting is a critical step in obtaining fiber bundles from bamboo culm using indigenous microorganisms. A cultivation‐independent technique for monitoring the changes in bacteria community during bamboo retting was applied in this work. This technique involves genetic profiling of PCR‐amplified small‐subunit rRNA and the single‐strand
