Lipid taphonomy in the Proterozoic and the effect of microbial mats on biomarker preservation

The pre-Ediacaran biomarker record has several characteristic features that distinguish it from its Phanerozoic counterpart, including high concentrations of unresolved complex mixture (UCM), low concentrations or absence of eukaryotic steranes, and a ...

Autologous transplant: microbial contamination of hematopoietic stem cell products

Brazilian Journal of Infectious Diseases
Hematopoietic progenitor cells from peripheral blood (HPCPB) are commonly used for autologous and allogenic transplants in patients with most various onco-hematological diseases, and despite the utilization of sterile techniques during collection and ...

Adsorption of Forever Chemical Pollutants: The Physical Chemistry of PFAS Near Surfaces

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Current adsorption‐based remediation techniques for removing per‐ and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) from water are limited by knowledge gaps on PFAS behavior near solid surfaces. This review provides a state of the art on theoretical and experimental aspects of PFAS adsorption.

Molecular Engineering Mediated Interfacial Assembly as an Artificial Extracellular Matrix Remolds Bacteria With Enhanced Abiotic Resilience

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A biomimetic artificial extracellular matrix is assembled directly on Pseudomonas fluorescens by co‐assembling amyloid‐like lysozyme and alginate at the cell surface. This conformal nanocoating acts as both a hydration buffer and a physiological priming layer, markedly enhancing desiccation tolerance, seed adhesion, storage stability, and biocontrol ...

Responses of soil microbes to antimony stress and coupled nutrient cycling in karst mining areas of Southwest China

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety
Persistent and poorly mobile heavy metals in soil present a widespread environmental challenge. Among these, antimony (Sb) is a contaminant of emerging concern whose transformation and migration in soil require further investigation to inform effective ...

Closed‐Loop Radiative Cooling Mulch Upcycled From Agricultural Residues for Efficient Soil Heat–Water Stress Mitigation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Conventional passive radiative cooling films rely on costly feedstocks and energy‐intensive fabrication, with poor end‐of‐life compatibility in agriculture. To address this challenge, a sustainable radiative cooling mulch (SRCM) is developed from waste maize leaves via spontaneous hydrogen‐bond self‐assembly.

Discriminator‐Guided Inverse Folding for Multi‐Property Protein Design

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Discriminator‐Guided Inverse Folding (DGIF) integrates multiple property predictors trained from single‐property datasets to guide protein sequence generation from a backbone structure. DGIF enables simultaneous improvement of thermostability and solubility without requiring multi‐property annotated datasets and generates designs that move toward the ...

Computation‐Guided Control of Excited‐State Deactivation through Modulation of Conical‐Intersection Accessibility by Donor–Acceptor Asymmetry in Bridged Stilbene AIE Luminogens

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Donor–acceptor asymmetry modulates conical‐intersection accessibility and topology in bridged stilbenes, providing mechanistic insight into excited‐state deactivation and aggregation‐induced emission (AIE). ABSTRACT A computation‐guided investigation of asymmetric donor–acceptor bridged stilbenes reveals structure–property relationships governing ...

The Microbial Contamination of Mobile Communication Devices

Journal of Microbiology & Biology Education, 2012
This tip describes a simple laboratory exercise to assess the microbial contamination of mobile phones, and suggests extension work that enables additional exploration of the topic. At its most basic, it is suitable for the school classroom; more advanced development of the suggested activities are suitable for undergraduate project work.
