Understanding Multicellularity: The Functional Organization of the Intercellular Space [PDF]
The aim of this paper is to provide a theoretical framework to understand how multicellular systems realize functionally integrated physiological entities by organizing their intercellular space. From a perspective centered on physiology and integration,

In Silico Genome-Scale Reconstruction and Validation of the Staphylococcus aureus Metabolic Network [PDF]
A genome-scale metabolic model of the Gram-positive, facultative anaerobic opportunistic pathogen Staphylococcus aureus N315 was constructed based on current genomic data, literature, and physiological information.

Swarming colonies of the bacterium Proteus mirabilis are capable of self-recognition and territorial behavior. Swarms of independent P. mirabilis isolates can recognize each other as foreign and establish a visible boundary where they meet; in contrast ...

The microbiologist’s guide to membrane potential dynamics [PDF]
All cellular membranes have the functionality of generating and maintaining the gradients of electrical and electrochemical potentials. Such potentials were generally thought to be an essential but homeostatic contributor to complex bacterial behaviors ...

Listening to enteric bacteria from the perspective of antibiotic alternatives in animal husbandry
Antibiotic alternatives are urgently needed to combat the gut dysbiosis and antibiotic resistance due to the long-term use of antibiotics in farm animals and the slow growth of discovery of novel antibiotics.

Entropic tension in crowded membranes. [PDF]
Unlike their model membrane counterparts, biological membranes are richly decorated with a heterogeneous assembly of membrane proteins. These proteins are so tightly packed that their excluded area interactions can alter the free energy landscape ...

BackgroundCadmium (Cd) is a highly toxic heavy metal. Its emission is suspected to be further increased due to the dramatic application of ash to agricultural soils and newly reclaimed ones. Thereby, Cd stress encountered by plants will exacerbate. Acute

On the methodology of feeding ecology in fish [PDF]
Feeding ecology explains predator’s preference to some preys over others in their habitat and their competitions thereof. The subject, as a functional and applied biology, is highly neglected, and in case of fish, a uniform and consistent ...

N-Acyl-l-homoserine lactones (AHLs) are a large family of signaling molecules in "quorum sensing" communication. This mechanism is present in a number of bacterial physiological phenomena, including pathogenic phenomena.
