This study shows the type VI secretion system (T6SS) in Bacteroides acidifaciens helps maintain its presence in a wild mouse gut microbiome by antagonizing other Bacteroidales, but its effect depends on ecological context.

This paper designs synthetic phosphosignaling circuits in bacteria using two histidine kinases and a shared response regulator to enable multi-input signal integration and logic gate behaviors.

This paper introduces a method to create overlapping genes by inserting an inner gene into an outer gene, demonstrating functionality and applications in synthetic biology.
