Response of soil bacteria to PUREX chemicals suggests biomarker utility and bioremediation potential

J. C. Podowski, S. Forrester, D. A. Antonopoulos, J. L. Steeb, A. D. Kent, J. J. Davis, D. S. Schabacker

This study investigates how soil bacteria respond to PUREX chemicals, identifying tributyl phosphate as a contaminant that significantly alters microbial communities and potentially enables bioremediation through phosphotriesterase genes.

Tissue specific dual RNA-seq defines host-parasite interplay in murine visceral leishmaniasis caused by Leishmania donovani and Leishmania infantum

S. Forrester, A. L. Goundry, B. T. Dias, T. Leal-Calvo, M. Moraes, P. Kaye, J. Mottram, A. P. C. A. Lima

This study uses dual RNA-seq to compare host and parasite gene expression in mouse models of Leishmania donovani and Leishmania infantum infections, identifying common and species-specific transcriptional responses.

Interrogation of genes controlling biofilm formation using CRISPR interference in Pseudomonas fluorescens

M.-F. Noirot-Gros, S. Forrester, G. Malato, P. Larsen, P. H. Noirot

This study uses CRISPR interference to systematically investigate genes controlling biofilm formation in Pseudomonas fluorescens, revealing novel phenotypes and confirming the utility of CRISPRi for studying complex bacterial traits.
