This paper identifies a novel surface motility mechanism in Salmonella and E. coli called 'swashing' that does not require flagellar propulsion and is driven by fermentation-induced osmotic gradients.

This paper engineers Escherichia coli to use hydrogen and formate as energy sources, improving mevalonate production by 57.6% through metabolic decoupling.

This study investigates the functional plasticity of HCO3- uptake and CO2 fixation in C. necator H16 by testing endogenous and heterologous genes, showing that DIC transporters can support autotrophic growth and higher cell densities.
