Strategy for Structural Elucidation of Polysaccharides: Elucidation of a Maize Mucilage that Harbors Diazotrophic Bacteria.

Analytical Chemistry, 2019
The recruitment of a bacterial consortium by the host is a strategy not limited to animals but is also used in plants. A maize aerial root mucilage has been found that harbors nitrogen fixing bacteria that are attracted to the carbohydrate rich ...

Role of Polysaccharides in Diatom Thalassiosira pseudonana and its Associated Bacteria in Hydrocarbon Presence1[OPEN]

Plant Physiology, 2019
Polysaccharide synthesis in diatoms influences the surrounding bacterial community in the presence and absence of hydrocarbons. Diatoms secrete a significant amount of polysaccharides, which can serve as a critical organic carbon source for bacteria. The

Bacteria‐Responsive Nanostructured Drug Delivery Systems for Targeted Antimicrobial Therapy

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Bacteria‐responsive nanocarriers are designed to release antimicrobials only in the presence of infection‐specific cues. This selective activation ensures drug release precisely at the site of infection, avoiding premature or indiscriminate release, and enhancing efficacy.

Staphylococcus aureus aggregation in the plasma fraction of silkworm hemolymph.

PLoS ONE, 2019
Staphylococcus aureus formed bacterial aggregates in the plasma fraction of the hemolymph of silkworm, the larva of Bombyx mori, in a growth-dependent manner. The addition of arabinose or galactose inhibited the formation of S.
