The paper identifies water-contact residues in GerAB that are critical for germinosome stability in Bacillus subtilis spores, based on MD simulations and functional assays.

The paper develops a mathematical model to explain memory in Bacillus subtilis spore germination, showing that GR states and SpoVA channel dynamics are crucial for memory.

This study uses a synthetic gut microbiota community to predict invasion success and community stability by modeling interactions between species.

The paper identifies three key residues in GerAB that affect water passage and germinosome stability through mutagenesis and molecular dynamics simulations.

This study shows that co-culturing Candida albicans and Staphylococcus aureus increases secretion of virulence factors from both species, with C. albicans Als1p/Als3p playing a key role in this effect.

This study shows that ampC gene amplification drives beta-lactam resistance in E. coli, with resistance gene location affecting amplification targets but not the mechanism.

This study investigates de novo antibiotic resistance acquisition in six bacterial species, finding diverse mutational patterns leading to similar resistance outcomes.

This paper introduces a new sample preparation method, SPEED, which improves proteomic analysis of Bacillus subtilis spores by identifying more proteins and enabling differentiation between spore and vegetative cell proteins.

The paper develops a framework to integrate metabolic gene expression and nutrient availability into genome-scale metabolic models to study osteosarcoma metabolism under different glucose and glutamine conditions.
