This paper identifies a wastewater Cladosporium halotolerans strain capable of aerobically degrading GenX, a PFAS, through a genomically expanded haloacid dehalogenase repertoire and a phased transcriptional program.

The paper develops GENIA, a machine learning framework for designing synthetic microbial communities that degrade multiple persistent pollutants more effectively than existing methods.

This study identifies and functionally characterizes FNP1, a non-ribosomal peptide synthetase gene in Fov4, showing its role in virulence, hyphal development, and stress responses in cotton wilt pathogenesis.

This study identifies two functional motifs in FvSYN1 that are critical for fungal development and virulence in F. verticillioides, with distinct roles in hyphal growth, stress response, and nutrient utilization.
