Cyanoexosortase B is essential for motility, biofilm formation, and scytonemin production in a filamentous cyanobacterium

mSphere
Exosortases are involved in trafficking proteins containing PEP-CTERM domains to the exterior of gram-negative bacterial cells. The role of these proteins in cyanobacteria, where such homologs are common, has not been defined.

Beyond antimicrobials: Ecological nano‐strategies for rebalancing dysbiotic oral microbial homeostasis

BMEMat, EarlyView.
Oral microbial homeostasis, a dynamic host‐microbe balance, is vital in infectious diseases. Conventional antibiotics often disrupt this homeostasis, spurring interest in nanomaterials for oral microbial homeostasis rebalancing. This review outlines nanomaterial strategies across three ecological levels (population/community, ecosystem, and cross ...

Critical mineral removal from mining‐impacted waters using microalgal biomass

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract Rising demand for critical minerals has led to increased mining and mineral processing activities, resulting in the release of metal‐contaminated waters requiring treatment. Conventional treatment methods, such as lime neutralization, effectively precipitate metals; however, they are less effective at low metal concentrations and produce large
