Impact of tidal dynamics and typhoon-induced inundation on saltwater intrusion in coastal farms.

The increase in storm surge events caused by climate change exacerbates adverse effects on seawater inundation in coastal areas. An accurate description of the water level curve is crucial for understanding the process of saltwater intrusion (SWI) resulting from storm surge. Most studies involving empirical surges as inputs to groundwater models, often simplify spatial and temporal seawater inundation processes, which may increase the uncertainty in vertical seawater intrusion.

Regulatory Effect of DNA Topoisomerase I on T3SS Activity, Antibiotic Susceptibility and Quorum- Sensing-Independent Pyocyanin Synthesis in .

Topoisomerases are required for alleviating supercoiling of DNA during transcription and replication. Recent evidence suggests that supercoiling of bacterial DNA can affect bacterial pathogenicity. To understand the potential regulatory role of a topoisomerase I (TopA) in we investigated a previously isolated mutation using genetic approaches.
