Cyanobacteria newly isolated from marine volcanic seeps display rapid sinking and robust, high-density growth.

Unlabelled: Cyanobacteria are photosynthetic organisms that play important roles in carbon cycling and are promising bioproduction chassis. Here, we isolate two novel cyanobacteria with 4.6Mbp genomes, UTEX 3221 and UTEX 3222, from a unique marine environment with naturally elevated CO₂.

Alternative carbon sources for the production of plant cellular agriculture: a case study on acetate.

Plant cellular agriculture aims to disrupt the way plant derived products are produced. Plant cell cultures are typically grown with sucrose as the primary carbon and energy source, but alternative carbon sources may have advantages over sucrose including less strain on food systems, lower costs, and more sustainable sourcing. Here we review carbon and energy sources that may serve as alternatives to sucrose in the cultivation of plant cell cultures.

Quality control-driven deep ensemble for accountable automated segmentation of cardiac magnetic resonance LGE and VNE images.

Background: Late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging is the gold standard for non-invasive myocardial tissue characterisation. However, accurate segmentation of the left ventricular (LV) myocardium remains a challenge due to limited training data and lack of quality control. This study addresses these issues by leveraging generative adversarial networks (GAN)-generated virtual native enhancement (VNE) images to expand the training set and incorporating an automated quality control-driven (QCD) framework to improve segmentation reliability.
