Engineering microbial consortia: uptake and leakage ratedifferentially shape community arrangement and composition

This study shows that amino acid uptake and leakage rates determine microbial community structure and composition in synthetic E. coli consortia.

Signal Antagonists Suppress Pseudomonas syringae Pathogenicity

This study designs and synthesizes leudiazen analogs that inhibit Pseudomonas syringae virulence without killing the bacteria, reducing resistance risk.

The large GTPase Sey1/atlastin mediates lipid droplet- and FadL-dependent intracellular fatty acid metabolism of Legionella pneumophila

This paper shows that Sey1 facilitates lipid droplet and FadL-dependent fatty acid metabolism in Legionella pneumophila by promoting interactions between the Legionella-containing vacuole and lipid droplets.

A central role of sibling sRNAs NgncR_162/163 in main metabolic pathways of Neisseria gonorrhoeae

This study identifies NgncR_162/163 as key regulators of central metabolic pathways in Neisseria gonorrhoeae through transcriptome and metabolome analysis.

Integration host factor regulates colonization factors in the bee gut symbiont Frischella perrara

This study identifies IHF as a regulator of colonization factors in the bee gut symbiont F. perrara, showing its role in metabolite production and gut colonization.

A novel highly potent inhibitor of TMPRSS2-like proteases blocks SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern and is broadly protective against infection and mortality in mice

This paper identifies N-0385 as a potent inhibitor of TMPRSS2 that blocks SARS-CoV-2 variants and protects mice from infection and mortality.

Shark movements in the Revillagigedo Archipelago and connectivity with the Eastern Tropical Pacific

The paper tracks shark movements between islands in the Revillagigedo Archipelago and the Eastern Tropical Pacific to assess connectivity and migration patterns.
