The paper develops a fully defined synthetic medium (2SMol) that mimics sugarcane molasses to improve reproducibility and enable component-specific studies in yeast biotechnology.

This study shows niclosamide is effective against SARS-CoV-2 and its variants in a human airway model, supporting its potential as a COVID-19 therapy.

This study identifies specific contaminant bacteria that reduce ethanol fermentation efficiency and shows how their removal could significantly lower industry emissions.

The paper identifies AcrIIA22 as an anti-CRISPR protein that inhibits SpyCas9 by relieving DNA torsion in plasmids.

This study uses adaptive laboratory evolution to identify chemical tolerance mechanisms in E. coli and shows how pre-tolerized strains can enhance biochemical production.

This study examines how antibiotic treatment affects the human gut resistome, showing increased resistance gene diversity and horizontal gene transfer potential.

This study couples cell fitness to thiamine diphosphate production in E. coli using a synthetic RNA biosensor to identify genetic targets affecting biosynthesis.
