Enhancing Microrobot Swarm Stability and Adaptation by Autonomous Field‐of‐View Planning

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This work presents an adaptive cross‐field‐of‐view navigation strategy for microrobot swarms in large‐scale workspaces by integrating global path planning via A* and local replanning using optimized informed rapidly‐exploring random tree star . The hybrid approach ensures efficient and robust trajectory execution in dynamic environments, enhancing the ...

Recent progress in proteins regulating the germination of Bacillus subtilis spores

open access: yesJournal of Bacteriology
Bacterial spores can remain dormant for years, but they maintain the ability to recommence life through a process termed germination. Although spore germination has been reviewed many times, recent work has provided novel conceptual and molecular ...

Adaptive plant traits under anthropogenic burning regimes: A database for UK heath and mire plant species

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Humans have used fire to manage landscapes for millennia, but this use of fire is declining in many ecosystems. Understanding how plants respond to these changes is key to predicting ecosystem resilience and impacts on services such as biodiversity and carbon sequestration. However, many ecosystems lack data on plant fire responses.

Selection maintains floral color polymorphism in scarlet paintbrush, Castilleja coccinea, reflecting combined ecological factors

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Evolutionary theory predicts polymorphism should be rare; however, intraspecific variation in floral color is common and can be attributed to genetic drift, plasticity, or variable selection. Examining floral color polymorphism both within contact zones and across a species' range can reveal the mechanisms maintaining this variation ...

Coordinated Assembly of the Bacillus anthracis Coat and Exosporium during Bacterial Spore Outer Layer Formation

open access: yesmBio, 2018
Bacterial spores produced by the Bacillales are composed of concentric shells, each of which contributes to spore function. Spores from all species possess a cortex and coat, but spores from many species possess additional outer layers.

Development of a consolidated bioprocess for the production of citric acid using Aspergillus niger as biocatalyst

open access: yesBiofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract The industrial production of citric acid, an ingredient in beverages, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics, is based on microbial fermentation of glucose or sucrose. Given the elevated cost of these sugars, lignocellulosic biomass is emerging as a cost‐effective and environmentally friendly feedstock for sustainable bioprocesses.
