Giant number fluctuations in microbial ecologies

, 2012
Statistical fluctuations in population sizes of microbes may be quite large depending on the nature of their underlying stochastic dynamics. For example, the variance of the population size of a microbe undergoing a pure birth process with unlimited ...

High‐throughput generic single‐entity sequencing using droplet microfluidics

iMeta, Volume 4, Issue 6, December 2025.
We present Generic Single Entity Sequencing (GSE‐Seq), a droplet‐based workflow that generates monoclonal barcodes by one‐step PCR, performs dissolvable hydrogel‐enabled reactions for genome processing, and attaches barcodes during in‐droplet library preparation. Barcoded fragments are pooled and sequenced with PacBio long‐read sequencing. Barcodes are

Exploring nucleo-cytoplasmic large DNA viruses in Tara Oceans microbial metagenomes [PDF]

, 2013
Nucleo-cytoplasmic large DNA viruses (NCLDVs) constitute a group of eukaryotic viruses that can have crucial ecological roles in the sea by accelerating the turnover of their unicellular hosts or by causing diseases in animals. To better characterize the

Phenotypical and Genomic Characterization of the Mollusk Pathogen Francisella halioticida

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 14, Issue 6, December 2025.
Phenotypic and genetic characterization of French isolates of Francisella halioticida and comparison with Canadian and Japanese strains. The study revealed similarities between FR22s and previous isolates but distinct differences with FR21. A major finding is the absence of the Francisella pathogenicity island in the less virulent isolate, FR22b ...

Advancing Tuberculosis Chemotherapy: Targeted Nanomedicines for the Mycobacterium TB Granuloma

Small, Volume 21, Issue 49, December 10, 2025.
This graphical abstract illustrates nanosystems used for targeted drug delivery into tuberculosis granulomas. It shows how targeting is influenced by size, pH, redox sensitivity, and surface charge. Various nanoparticles are incorporated with drugs to enhance penetration, stability, and release.

Filamentous phages as building blocks for reconfigurable and hierarchical self-assembly

, 2017
Filamentous bacteriophages such as fd-like viruses are monodisperse rod-like colloids that have well defined properties: diameter, length, rigidity, charge and chirality. Engineering those viruses leads to a library of colloidal rods which can be used as

Antimicrobial prescribing guidelines for horses in Australia

Australian Veterinary Journal, Volume 103, Issue 12, Page 781-889, December 2025.
The growing problem of antimicrobial resistance also affects equine veterinarians with increasing frequency. Antimicrobial stewardship and responsible prescribing are essential for a future in which effective antimicrobials are available, as it is unlikely that new antimicrobials will become available for use in horses.
