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 ...

Microbiome‐mediated chemical communication in insects: Implications for pest management

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Microbiome–semiochemical interactions involve the following processes: direct microbial synthesis, host gene regulation, precursor biotransformation, microbiome modulation and indirect ecological signaling. Abstract Insects rely on semiochemicals to regulate aggregation, mating, foraging, and host selection. This review synthesizes evidence that insect‐

Large‐Scale Structural Dynamics in the Tail Fiber Modulate the Infective Transition of the T7 Bacteriophage

Small, EarlyView.
During host recognition, the fibers of T7 bacteriophages transition from a capsid bound state to an extended conformation, which requires some level of fiber flexibility. By using high‐speed atomic force microscopy, we show that the fibers have an internal molecular hinge and a torsionally compliant coiled‐coil region.

DOM: Dual Optical Mapping Integrating Sequence‐Specific Barcodes and A/T Density Profiles

Small Methods, EarlyView.
Dual Optical Mapping (DOM) combines sequence‐specific barcodes and an A/T profile to generate complementary genomic signatures along single DNA molecules. The integration of sparse and dense mapping information enables accurate and confident genome mapping, facilitating reliable localization of long DNA molecules in complex genomes, including the ...

Mycobacterium intracellulare M.i.198—A Promising Strain for Studying Pathogenesis of Nontuberculous Mycobacterial Pulmonary Disease (NTM‐PD)

Microbiology and Immunology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In this review, we introduce a promising strain for studying pathogenesis of nontuberculous mycobacterial pulmonary disease (NTM‐PD), Mycobacterium intracellulare M.i.198. M.i.198 was isolated from a patient with progressive Mycobacterium avium‐intracellulare complex pulmonary disease (MAC‐PD) in whom surgical operation was required to ...

Genome Analysis of Corynebacterium ulcerans Isolates Chronologically Recovered From the Same Cat for Two Years: Circulation in a Cat Shelter

Microbiology and Immunology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Toxigenic Corynebacterium ulcerans, a zoonotic pathogen, was isolated repeatedly from a cat in an in‐house group in Japan. Although the cat was cured once by antibiotic treatment, clonal isolates of the original pathogenic strain were recovered repeatedly during a 2‐year course.

Ultraconserved bacteriophage genome sequence identified in 1300-year-old human palaeofaeces

Nature Communications
Bacteriophages are widely recognised as rapidly evolving biological entities. However, knowledge about ancient bacteriophages is limited. Here, we analyse DNA sequence datasets previously generated from ancient palaeofaeces and human gut-content samples,

Assessment of viral pathogen removal across wastewater treatment stages in a swine processing facility

Australian Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
A swine abattoir wastewater treatment system in Queensland, Australia, was monitored over 6 months to assess the effectiveness of a pond‐based treatment system for the removal of viruses prior to irrigation reuse. Four viruses were tracked through the facility, from points of entry to the final treated effluent, to identify major sources of viral ...
