David Rudner and his team (Gao et al.) predict a pentameric structure for the GerA alanine-responsive germination receptor of Bacillus subtilis and demonstrate that it behaves as a nutrient-gated ion channel, finally establishing a function...
Abortive infection antiphage defense systems: separating mechanism and phenotype [0.03%]

Bacteria have evolved a wide array of mechanisms that allow them to eliminate phage infection. 'Abortive infection' (abi) systems are an expanding category of such mechanisms, defined as those which induce programmed cell death (or dormancy...

The N2-fixing cyanobacterium Trichodesmium is an important player in the oceanic nitrogen and carbon cycles. Trichodesmium occurs both as single trichomes and as colonies containing hundreds of trichomes. In this review, we explore the bene...
Viable but nonculturable (VBNC) state, an underestimated and controversial microbial survival strategy [0.03%]
可培养但非增殖(VBNC)状态，一种被低估且具有争议性的微生物存活策略

As a unique microbial response to adverse circumstances, the viable but nonculturable (VBNC) state is characterized by the loss of culturability of microbial cells on/in nutrient media that normally support their growth, while maintaining m...

Historically, a primary aim of bioaerosol research has been to understand and prevent 'unhealthy' human exposures to pathogens and allergens. However, there has been a recent paradigm shift in thinking about bioaerosols. Exposure to a diver...

Hundreds of trillions of diverse bacteriophages (phages) peacefully thrive within and on the human body. However, whether and how phages influence their mammalian hosts is poorly understood. In this review, we explore current knowledge and ...
