Responses of a bacterial pathogen to phosphorus limitation of its aquatic invertebrate host [PDF]
, 2008 Host nutrition is thought to affect the establishment, persistence, and severity of pathogenic infections. Nutrient-deficient foods possibly benefit pathogens by constraining host immune function or benefit hosts by limiting parasite growth and ...

Robotic Materials With Bioinspired Microstructures for High Sensitivity and Fast Actuation
Advanced Science, EarlyView.In the review paper, design rationale and approaches for bioinspired sensors and actuators in robotics applications are presented. These bioinspired microstructure strategies implemented in both can improve the performance in several ways. Also, recent ideas and innovations that embed robotic materials with logic and computation with it are part of the

Hygienic safety of alcohol-based hand disinfectants and skin antiseptics
GMS Hygiene and Infection Control, 2013 [english] Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the overall risk of hand disinfectants and skin antiseptics to become contaminated with bacterial spores throughout the production process and the subsequent in-use period, hence posing a public ...

Lyophilized spore dispenser [PDF]
, 1973 A lyophilized spore dispenser is provided which produces a finely divided, monoparticulate cloud of bacterial spores. The spores are contained within a tightly sealed chamber, and a turbulator orifice connected to an air supply source provides a jet of ...

Two Novel S‐methyltransferases Confer Dimethylsulfide Production in Actinomycetota
Advanced Science, EarlyView.This study identifies two novel S‐adenosine‐methionine‐dependent methyltransferases, MddM1 and MddM2, in actinomycetes from the Mariana Trench. These enzymes can convert toxic hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and methanethiol (MeSH) into dimethylsulfide (DMS), serving as a cellular detoxification and oxidative stress response.

Proton dynamics in bacterial spores, a neutron scattering investigation
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2015 Results from first neutron scattering experiments on bacterial spores are reported. The elastic intensities and mean square displacements have a non-linear behaviour as function of temperature, which is in agreement with a model presenting more ...

Enhanced self-healing capacity in cementitious materials by use of encapsulated carbonate precipitating bacteria : from proof-of-concept to reality [PDF]
, 2013 In this study, two bacteria-based self-healing systems were developed for the proof-of-concept and approach to a realistic self-healing. A self-healing system with glass capillaries and silica sol gel carried bacterial cells was first built.

Principles for Rigorous Design and Application of Synthetic Microbial Communities
Advanced Science, EarlyView.SynComs are artificially designed to enable inter‐species metabolic interactions, metabolic division of labor, and ecological interactions that can elicit phenotypes like colonization stability and environmental adaptation. This systematic review explores the processes used to construct SynComs, the assessment of the mechanisms of metabolic interaction
