Microbial transport and dispersion in heterogeneous flows created by pillar arrays [PDF]
, 2021 Swimming microbes, such as bacteria and algae, live in diverse habitats including soil, ocean and human body which are characterized by structural boundaries and heterogeneous fluid flows. Although much progress has been made in understanding the Brownian ratchet motions of microbes and their hydrodynamic interactions with the wall over the last ...

Using Multiscale Molecular Dynamics Simulations to Obtain Insights into Pore Forming Toxin Mechanisms [PDF]
Methods in Enzymology (Chapter Sixteen), 2021, 2020 Pore forming toxins (PFTs) are virulent proteins released by several species, including many strains of bacteria, to attack and kill host cells. In this article, we focus on the utility of molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and the molecular insights gleaned from these techniques on the pore forming pathways of PFTs.

A family of anti-Bacteroidales peptide toxins wide-spread in the human gut microbiota
Nature Communications, 2019 Bacteria often produce antimicrobial toxins to compete in microbial communities. Here, the authors identify a family of peptide toxins that are produced by, and target, Bacteroidetes species, some of which are widespread in the human gut microbiota.

Environmental toxicity influences disease spread in consumer population [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 The study of infectious disease has been of interest to ecologists since long. The initiation of epidemic and the long term disease dynamics are largely influenced by the nature of the underlying consumer (host)-resource dynamics. Ecological traits of such systems may be often modulated by toxins released in the environment due to ongoing anthropogenic
