This study shows Microcystis aeruginosa releases thiamin antivitamins to inhibit competitors like Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, aiding its dominance in low-thiamin environments.

This study uses a computational model to show that fluid-like tumor spheroids cause more ECM remodeling than solid-like spheroids due to shape fluctuations and cellular motility.

This paper introduces a microfluidic rheometer to measure tumor spheroid mechanics and invasiveness in a physiologically relevant setting, finding that tumor stiffness and viscoelastic properties correlate with invasiveness.

The paper screens a genome-scale knockout collection of Gluconobacter oxydans B58 to identify genes important for bioleaching neodymium, finding 89 genes, 68 novel to this process, and validating strain-specific effects on bioleaching efficiency.

This paper improves REE bioleaching by engineering Gluconobacter oxydans through genetic modifications that enhance acid production and metabolic efficiency.

This study identifies genes in Shewanella oneidensis that affect rare earth element biosorption, offering targets for genetic engineering to improve REE separation.

The paper identifies genetic factors in Gluconobacter oxydans that enhance rare earth element bioleaching, finding 304 genes affecting acid production and bioleaching efficiency.
