Genetic Adaptation of a Mevalonate Pathway Deficient Mutant in Staphylococcus aureus

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018
In this study we addressed the question how a mevalonate (MVA)-auxotrophic Staphylococcus aureusΔmvaS mutant can revert to prototrophy. This mutant couldn’t grow in the absence of MVA.

From Circuits to Symphonies: A Systems‐Engineering Blueprint for Multimicrobial Synthetic Biology

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 49, 3 September 2026.
Engineering synthetic microbial consortia requires moving beyond intracellular genetic circuits toward coordinated multicellular design. A modular systems‐engineering framework is presented that integrates communication, temporal coordination, ecological structuring, and predictive modeling to guide application‐dependent consortium design ...

Unlocking Lactonase Enzymes as Biocatalysts for the Deracemisation of Chiral γ-Thiolactones. [PDF]

Angew Chem Int Ed Engl
Lactonases, a class of metalloenzymes that exhibit catalytic promiscuity, have been extensively studied from a biological perspective, yet their application as biocatalysts remains underexplored.

Regenerative Microbiology: Harnessing Bacterial Antagonism and Spatiotemporal Signaling for Diabetic Wound Repair

Smart Medicine, Volume 5, Issue 4, August 2026.
This review introduces “Regenerative Microbiology,” a framework that uses bacterial antagonism and phage therapy to address diabetic wound dysbiosis. By activating the p40/EGFR/PI3K axis and providing a vascular‐stratified precision roadmap, this approach shifts the paradigm from antimicrobial suppression to intelligent, microbe‐driven tissue ...

Multiple Quorum Quenching Enzymes Are Active in the Nosocomial Pathogen Acinetobacter baumannii ATCC17978

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2018
Acinetobacter baumannii presents a typical luxI/luxR quorum sensing (QS) system (abaI/abaR) but the acyl-homoserine lactone (AHL) signal profile and factors controlling the production of QS signals in this species have not been determined yet.

Three Decades of Soil N2O Research—Insights and Gaps

Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 8, August 2026.
Progress in N2O Research and Key Breakthroughs and Transitions from 1990 to 2025 across three domains: (A) process understanding, (B) microbial ecology, and (C) modelling of soil N2O emissions. ABSTRACT Nitrous oxide (N2O) is a potent greenhouse gas (GHG) whose atmospheric concentration continues to rise, largely driven by nitrogen (N) inputs to ...
