Correlated Phenotypic Transitions to Competence in Bacterial Colonies
Genetic competence is a phenotypic state of a bacterial cell in which it is capable of importing DNA, presumably to hasten its exploration of alternate genes in its quest for survival under stress.

A mechanically driven nanofluidic generator (MNG) featuring gradient charge‐modified, wood‐derived nanochannels is developed for efficient energy harvesting. The optimized GNCM‐MNG delivers a peak output voltage of 10.58 ± 1.29 V and an extended discharge time of 675.80 ± 112.08 s, demonstrating a sustainable and high‐performance strategy for next ...

The future of dispute resolution in international trade
Abstract Given ongoing dysfunction of the World Trade Organization's Appellate Body, the focus of this article is on the future of trade dispute resolution, with evaluation of two questions: (i) What is the current status of WTO dispute resolution as compared to that conducted through existing preferential trade agreements (PTAs)? and (ii) What are the

Directed evolution of Vibrio fischeri LuxR for increased sensitivity to a broad spectrum of acyl-homoserine lactones [PDF]
LuxR-type transcriptional regulators play key roles in quorum-sensing systems that employ acyl-homoserine lactones (acyl-HSLs) as signal molecules.

I know that the accumulation of certain molecules called ‘‘quorum-sensing factors’’ in bacteria, as cultures grow dense, can control group behavior and that these include virulence traits and the formation of drug-resistant microbial biofilms. I am familiar with some of the molecules that mediate the sensing of organism density such as homoserine ...

This research explores the use of γ‐valerolactone (γ‐VL), a sustainable and low‐toxic solvent, as an alternative for dye‐sensitized solar cell electrolytes. Results indicate that while γ‐VL is less suitable for outdoor applications, it significantly outperforms traditional solvents like acetonitrile and 3‐methoxypropionitrile under indoor lighting ...
