Diverse Uses of Lantibiotics: Exploring New Approaches to Combat Antibiotic Resistance

Medicine Advances, EarlyView.
This review illustrates lantibiotics as an alternative therapeutic approach to combat antibiotic resistance, highlighting their diverse sources, including plants, insects, animals, and microorganisms. It further emphasizes their broad therapeutic potential, including antibacterial, antifungal, antiparasitic, antiviral, and anticancer activities (GA ...

Biosurfactant production by Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolated from mining waste: From genomic analysis to development of a polymeric composite for removal of hexavalent chromium

Polymer International, EarlyView.
Biosurfactant was produced by Pseudomonas aeruginosa using andiroba waste from Amazonia. A biosurfactant–alginate composite (Alg/BioS) was successfully synthesized via ionotropic gelation, and achieved up to 70% Cr6+ removal from water. Abstract Environmental contamination by heavy metals represents a significant challenge due to their persistence in ...

Time‐Resolved Effects of Cold Atmospheric Plasma on E. coli GW‐AmxH19 Transcriptome and Proteome in an Emulated Wastewater Environment

PROTEOMICS, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) is effective against a variety of microorganisms. Here, we described effects on an Escherichia coli strain isolated from hospital wastewater caused by treatment with physical plasma. E. coli GW‐AmxH19 was incubated in artificial wastewater and treated for 15 min with CAP.

Geometric Intuition Enables Resource‐Efficient Screening for β‐Barrel‐Like Folds in Viral Structural Dark Matter

Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Predicted protein structures now enable fold discovery beyond the reach of sequence homology, but scalable and interpretable methods remain limited. We present Cooper‐Beta, a resource‐efficient, chain‐resolved framework for detecting β‐barrel‐like folds from strand connectivity.

Strain‐specific monitoring of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens AH2 in strawberry fields using a specific molecular marker

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
A novel strain‐specific TaqMan quantitative polymerase chain reaction assay targeting the hsdM gene was developed to monitor Bacillus amyloliquefaciens AH2 in strawberries, providing a foundational tool to optimize biocontrol management. Abstract BACKGROUND The biocontrol agent Bacillus amyloliquefaciens AH2 is effective against Botrytis cinerea in ...
