Air quality and transport behaviour: sensors, field, and survey data from Warsaw, Poland.

The present study describes the data sets produced in Warsaw, Poland with the aim of developing tools and methods for the implementation of human-centred and data-driven solutions to the enhancement of sustainable mobility transition. This study focuses on school commutes and alternatives to private cars for children drop off and pick up from primary schools. The dataset enables the complex analysis of interactions between determinants of transport mode choice, revealed choices, and air quality impact.

gen. nov., sp. nov., a novel representative of fam. nov. within the order isolated from a grassland soil.

The order is a deep-branching lineage within the phylum . Most representatives have been isolated from terrestrial environments. A strain isolated from a grassland soil was found to be affiliated with this order and therefore characterized by a polyphasic approach.

Changes in Envelope Structure and Cell-Cell Communication during Akinete Differentiation and Germination in Filamentous Cyanobacterium ATCC 29413.

Planktonic freshwater filamentous cyanobacterium ATCC 29413 (previously known as ) can differentiate heterocysts and akinetes to survive under different stress conditions. Whilst heterocysts enable diazotrophic growth, akinetes are spore-like resting cells that make the survival of the species possible under adverse growth conditions. Under suitable environmental conditions, they germinate to produce new vegetative filaments.

gen. nov., sp. nov. and sp. nov., novel members of fam. nov. within the order isolated from soil.

Members of the metabolically diverse order inhabit a wide range of environments. Two strains affiliated with this order were isolated from soils in Germany and characterized by a polyphasic approach. Cells of strains 0125_3 and Swamp67 are Gram-negative rods, non-motile, non-spore-forming, non-capsulated and divide by binary fission.

FIB-SEM-based analysis of intracellular processing by human macrophages.

is the causative agent of Lyme disease, a multisystemic disorder affecting primarily skin, joints and nervous system. Successful internalization and intracellular processing of borreliae by immune cells, like macrophages, is decisive for the outcome of a respective infection. Here, we use, for the first time, focused ion beam scanning electron microscopy tomography (FIB-SEM tomography) to visualize the interaction of borreliae with primary human macrophages with high resolution.
