Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Biological soil crusts (biocrusts) are crucial components of dryland ecosystems; however, they are highly vulnerable to anthropogenic disturbances, particularly trampling caused by grazing. To evaluate the impacts of trampling on biocrust structure, microbial communities, and soil functions, we conducted a mesocosm‐based simulated disturbance ...

Boronic Acid Inhibitors of β‐Lactamases: A Promising Strategy Against Antimicrobial Resistance
Medicinal Research Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The rise of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a critical threat to global health, mostly due to the proliferation of β‐lactamases, a class of enzymes responsible for the inactivation of β‐lactam antibiotics. Among the most promising strategies to restore β‐lactam efficacy is the use of β‐lactamase inhibitors (BLIs), with boronic acid ...

Liquid Phase Backscattered Scanning Electron Microscopy of Bacillus subtilis Spores
Small Methods, EarlyView.Graphene encapsulation enables liquid‐phase BSE‐SEM to visualize subsurface architecture of whole, hydrated Bacillus subtilis spores without staining. This approach is applied to visualize dormant spores and subsequent structural changes during spore germination, while imaging across a range of beam energies and Monte Carlo simulations provide a ...
