Prophage-marine diazotroph interplay shapes both biofilm structure and nitrogen release

This study shows that prophages in Vibrio diazotrophicus enhance biofilm formation and nitrogen release through phage-mediated lysis, revealing a viral role in marine nitrogen cycling.

Development and utilization of new O2-independent bioreporters

This paper develops O2-independent bioreporters using KOFP-7, demonstrating fluorescence in anaerobic conditions for bacteria like V. diazotrophicus.

An analog to digital converter controls bistable transfer competence of a widespread integrative and conjugative element

The paper identifies a regulatory cascade controlling bistable transfer competence in ICEclc, showing it acts as an analog-to-digital converter through a feedback loop.
