Article Synopsis
- Legionella pneumophila is a germ that can make people sick, especially those with weak immune systems, by living inside specific immune cells called macrophages.
- The germ uses special proteins to help it survive and replicate inside the cells, but some of these proteins can also boost the immune system to fight off the infection.
- One protein, called LegC4, helps the immune cells destroy the bacteria by improving how they handle stressed and damaged proteins, suggesting a new way to help the body defend against L. pneumophila.
Multispecies biofilms are a common limitation in membrane bioreactors, causing membrane clogging, degradation, and failure. There is a poor understanding of biological fouling mechanisms in these systems due to the limited number of experimental techniques useful for probing microbial interactions at the membrane interface. Here, we develop a new experimental method, termed polymer surface dissection (PSD), to investigate multispecies assembly processes over membrane surfaces.
