Solid‐State NMR Reveals Reorganization of the Aspergillus fumigatus Cell Wall Due to a Host‐Defence Peptide

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Understanding the mode of action is critical to develop new antifungal drugs. Solid‐state NMR was used to study the reorganization of the Aspergillus fumigatus cell wall by a host‐defence peptide. We identified specific polysaccharides and amino acids that are affected by the peptide.

Tailoring a Functional Synthetic Microbial Community Alleviates Fusobacterium nucleatum‐infected Colorectal Cancer via Ecological Control

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The bottom‐up strategy based on multiomics data is used for the SynCom design, and it successfully inhibited F. nucleatum growth and achieved stable colonization in vivo. In addition, it promoted tryptophan metabolism and secondary bile acid conversion, reduced lipid accumulation, relieved microbiome disorder, decreased inflammatory reaction, and ...

Polymorphic α‐Glucans as Structural Scaffolds in Cryptococcus Cell Walls for Chitin, Capsule, and Melanin: Insights From 13C and 1H Solid‐State NMR

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Cryptococcus neoformans cell wall α‐1,3‐glucans as dual anchors for melanin and capsule: Solid‐state NMR of intact C. neoformans cells reveals five forms of α‐1,3‐glucans that structurally bridge melanin and capsule layers. These polysaccharides interact with chitin, chitosan, and β‐glucans to create a molecular scaffold that underlies virulence and ...

Involvement of the spore coat in germination of Bacillus cereus T spores [PDF]

Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 1987
Bacillus cereus T spores were prepared on fortified nutrient agar, and the spore coat and outer membrane were extracted by 0.5% sodium dodecyl sulfate-100 mM dithiothreitol in 0.1 M sodium chloride (SDS-DTT) at pH 10.5 (coat-defective spores). Coat-defective spores in L-alanine plus adenosine germinated slowly and to a lesser extent than spores not ...

Natural Allelic Variations in IbCHYR1–IbZnFR Complex Regulate Fusarium Root Rot Resistance in Sweet Potato

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
FfRlpA2, a conserved Fusarium effector, functions as a protease inhibitor by hijacking the E3 ubiquitin ligase IbCHYR1 to degrade the resistance factor IbZnFR, thereby promoting Fusarium pathogenicity. Conversely, the high dosage Pro::IbZnFRHap2 allele was associated with resistance to root rot disease.

Abiotic Factors and Plant Communities Shape the Distribution of Soil Pathogenic Oomycetes in Chinese Grasslands

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The continental‐scale study reveals that soil phosphorus strongly predicts the richness of soil pathogenic oomycetes in Chinese grasslands, while precipitation and plant species richness drive their absolute abundance; modeling predicts ≈42% of grassland areas may face elevated oomycete disease risk under future climate scenarios, especially in typical

Fabrication of Dual Photodynamic Enhanced Antimicrobial CDs@ZIF‐8/Polycaprolactone/Ethyl Cellulose Nanofibrous Films for Fruit Preservation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Carbon dots (CDs) are incorporated into ZIF‐8 to synthesize CDs@ZIF‐8 nanocomposites, which exhibit dual photodynamic enhanced antimicrobial properties. This enhancement is due to the narrow bandgap of CDs@ZIF‐8, which facilitates interfacial electronic transfer, resulting in increased reactive oxygen species. Microfluidic blow spinning is then used to

Deep Learning‐Assisted Rapid Bacterial Classification Based on Raman Spectroscopy of Bacteria Lysed by Acoustically Driven Fiber‐Tip Vibration

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A novel acoustofluidic lysis technique based on a vibrating fiber‐tip is integrated with Raman spectroscopy and deep learning for rapid, label‐free bacterial classification. By exposing intracellular biomolecules, this method significantly enhances spectral resolution, enabling high‐accuracy classification with a 1D‐ResNet model.
