This study identifies two novel dienelactone hydrolases from marine Flavobacteria that degrade PET, expanding the known enzymatic capacity for plastic biodegradation.

This study identifies three pharmaceuticals that inhibit Pseudomonas aeruginosa phospholipase A, showing they reduce bacterial growth and enhance antibiotic efficacy.

This study shows that PET degradation products BHET and TPA affect signaling pathways in Vibrio gazogenes, impacting biofilm formation and colony morphology.

This paper develops a chemo-enzymatic method to oxidize epoxy-based CFRPs, enabling fiber recovery and partial epoxy modification using bacterial laccases.

The paper examines microbial lifestyles on suspended and sinking particles in the Elbe estuary, finding distinct gene expression patterns linked to carbon cycling and methane production.

The paper examines community transitions in the Elbe River estuary, finding two distinct communities for plants and soil bacteria but not for aquatic microbes.

This study investigates how Pseudomonas aeruginosa phospholipase A (PlaF) affects biofilm formation and virulence by altering membrane phospholipid composition and regulating multiple pathways.

The paper analyzes global S. maltophilia strains to show genetic diversity and intra-hospital transmission.
