Plasmidome, resistome, and virulence-associated gene characterization of Acinetobacter johnsonii in NASA cleanrooms and a clinical setting

Microbiology Spectrum
Evidence suggests the persistence of non-spore-forming Acinetobacter johnsonii in high-stakes controlled and nutrient-limited environments. Here, we investigated the mechanisms underlying this adaptability through a comprehensive genomic analysis of 22 ...

Streptavidins Coordinate Biotin Sequestration and Self‐Resistance Within a Biotin‐Pathway Antibiotic Network

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A conserved genomic region between two streptavidin genes in Streptomyces packages biosynthetic gene clusters for diverse biotin‐pathway antibiotics: acidomycin, stravidin, the new non‐proteinogenic amino acid ANDA, and the new BioA inhibitor α‐methyl‐KAPA.

How Beautiful We Were: A Resistance Narrative Uncovering Political Ecology in Postcolonial Eco- Fiction

Journal of Contemporary Poetics
This paper explores the intersection of political ecology and resistance narrative in Imbolo Mbue’s novel How Beautiful We Were (2021). I argue that political ecology is shaped by neoliberal policies such as slow violence and oil politics.

Polychip‐A High‐Throughput Droplet Microfluidics Platform for Interrogating Microbial Interactions

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Polychip, a fully integrated droplet microfluidics platform, enables high‐throughput, single‐cell resolution screening of polymicrobial interactions. By seamlessly combining six automated microfluidics operations on a single chip, the system accelerates antimicrobial discovery by 11 to 14 times compared to traditional robotic methods.

Investigating the cost of adaptation in Amaranthus tuberculatus populations with evolved resistance to glyphosate [PDF]

Amaranthus tuberculatus (Common Waterhemp) is a prevalent, problematic weed in Midwestern USA, where genetically-modified crops are widely grown, resulting in multiple annual applications of glyphosate.

The evolutionary ecology of antibiotic resistance and antibiotic resistance plasmids in Escherichia coli [PDF]

, 2015
Antibiotic resistance is ‘as big a risk as terrorism’ according to H.M. Government Chief Medical Officer in March 2013. New insights into the ecology and evolution of resistance are, therefore, a research priority if we are to avert this crisis ...

A Triple‐Nanoparticle System for Controlled Graphene Nanosheet Stacking: Enabling K/Na‐Ion Battery Anodes with Ultra‐Fast Charging Exceeding Petroleum Vehicle Refueling

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Large‐ion (K, Na) battery systems mitigate uneven global lithium distribution, while their ability to attain recharge time shorter than refueling would remove the final barrier for secondary batteries to replace petroleum vehicles. However, their large‐ion chemistry makes ultra‐fast charging an even significant challenge.

Engineering Microbial Particles for Next‐Generation Biomedical Platforms

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Microbe‐derived particles (MDPs), which include extracellular vesicles, outer membrane vesicles, inclusion bodies, polysaccharide particles, and virus‐like particles, represent a rapidly expanding category of bioinspired nanomaterials. With their natural origin, intrinsic biocompatibility, and highly programmable functionality, MDPs serve as a ...
