Dynamics of active filaments in porous media
The motion of active polymers in a porous medium is shown to depend critically on flexibilty, activity and degree of polymerization. For given Peclet number, we observe a transition from localisation to diffusion as the stiffness of the chains is ...

Collective motion and nonequilibrium cluster formation in colonies of gliding bacteria [PDF]
We characterize cell motion in experiments and show that the transition to collective motion in colonies of gliding bacterial cells confined to a monolayer appears through the organization of cells into larger moving clusters.

We demonstrate that bacterial outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) can enhance antibiotic delivery into Gram‐negative bacteria by bypassing porin‐dependent uptake. Encapsulation of imipenem in OMVs significantly increased its effectiveness against multidrug‐resistant clinical isolates, highlighting OMVs as a promising platform for overcoming permeability ...

Are Myxobacteria intelligent? [PDF]
"Intelligence" is understood in different ways. Because humans are proud of their ability to speak, intelligence often includes the ability to communicate with others, to plan for the future, and to solve frequently encountered problems. Myxobacteria are among the most socially adept and ubiquitous of bacteria that live in the soil.

Strong violation of the competitive exclusion principle [PDF]
Bacteria and plants are able to form population waves as a result of their consumer behaviour and propagation. A soliton-like interpenetration of colliding population waves was assumed but not proved earlier. Here we show how and why colliding population

Homoterpene Biosynthesis in Fungi
The first homoterpene biosynthetic pathway in the fungal kingdom is reported. A methyltransferase–terpene cyclase pair produces a unique heptamethyl bicyclo[3.3.1]nonane homoterpene via presodorifen, demonstrating that homoterpene biosynthesis via the addition of a C1 unit to terpene diphosphate precursors prior to scaffold formation extends beyond the
