Biomass DNA: An Emerging Building Block for Advanced Materials

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Biomass DNA is rapidly emerging from its traditional role as a genetic blueprint to serve as a versatile abundant, highly programmable polymeric building block. This review highlights the transformation of macroscopic bulk biomass DNA into next generation of functional materials, spanning from dynamic hydrogels, sustainable bioplastics, and high ...

Divergent assembly patterns of core and non-core microbial taxa under low environmental heterogeneity in the surface waters of the Xisha Islands

Microbiology Spectrum
Microbial communities play essential roles in marine biogeochemical cycling, yet the respective roles of environmental and spatial drivers of community assembly remain incompletely understood, particularly under low environmental heterogeneity and across

Region‐Specific Profiling of the Gut Microbiome and Metabolite Landscape in Response to Dietary Intervention Using Electronics‐Free Ingestible Smart Sampling Capsules

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Region‐specific profiling of the gut microbiome is achieved non‐invasively using electronics‐free ingestible sampling capsules that activate at defined intestinal sites through stimuli‐responsive coatings. Deployed in a porcine dietary intervention model, the capsules resolve spatially distinct, fiber‐driven shifts in microbial composition and short ...

The Transition From Stochastic to Deterministic Bacterial Community Assembly During Permafrost Thaw Succession

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020
The Northern high latitudes are warming twice as fast as the global average, and permafrost has become vulnerable to thaw. Changes to the environment during thaw leads to shifts in microbial communities and their associated functions, such as greenhouse ...

Biofilm‐Binding Phages Enhance Biofilm Eradication by Synergistic Photothermal and Photodynamic Therapy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Engineered phage‐based trifunctional nanofibers are developed for synergistic biofilm eradication. Biofilm‐binding phages, armed with AuNPs and TCPP, serve as both warheads and scaffolds, endowing the phototherapy agents with biofilm‐anchoring ability. Upon light irradiation, AuNPs induce photothermal therapy, while TCPP generates 1O2 for photodynamic ...

Comparison of assembly process and co-occurrence pattern between planktonic and benthic microbial communities in the Bohai Sea

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Unraveling the mechanisms structuring microbial community is a central goal in microbial ecology, but a detailed understanding of how community assembly processes relate to living habitats is still lacking. Here, via 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing, we
