Surface Hydrophilicity Promotes Bacterial Twitching Motility

M. T. O'Hara, T. Shimozono, K. J. Dye, D. Harris, Z. Yang

This paper shows that bile salts and detergents enhance bacterial twitching motility by altering surface hydrophilicity, not by causing physiological stress.

The Origins of ATP Dependence in Biological Nitrogen Fixation

D. Harris, H. Rucker, A. Garcia, Z.-Y. Yang, S. Chang, H. Feinsilber, B. Kacar, L. Seefeldt

This study experimentally reconstructs an ancestral nitrogenase enzyme and shows it strictly requires ATP hydrolysis for N2 reduction, decoupling cofactor selection from environmental availability.

Nitrogenase resurrection and the evolution of a singular enzymatic mechanism

A. K. Garcia, D. Harris, A. Rivier, B. Carruthers, A. P. Barros, L. Seefeldt, B. Kacar

This study resurrects ancient nitrogenase enzymes and shows their in vivo functionality and reversible dinitrogen reduction mechanism, suggesting evolutionary constraints in catalyzing this reaction.

Immunological and pathological outcomes of SARS-CoV-2 challenge after formalin-inactivated vaccine immunisation of ferrets and rhesus macaques

K. R. Bewley, K. E. R. Gooch, K. M. Thomas, S. R. Longet, N. Wiblin, L. Hunter, K. Chan, P. Brown, R. A. Russell, C. Ho, G. Slack, H. E. Humphries, L. Alden, L. Allen, M. Aram, , M. Carroll

This study evaluates vaccine-enhanced disease in ferrets and rhesus macaques after formalin-inactivated SARS-CoV-2 vaccination, finding mild transient lung pathology but no significant enhancement.
