Environmental thresholds of semiaquatic bugs (Heteroptera, Gerromorpha) as an indicator of environmental change in Amazon streams.

Environ Monit Assess

Freshwater ecosystems under the influence of human activities are subject to multiple environmental stressors that lead to biodiversity loss and habitat modification. In recent years, various organisms have been used as bioindicators to detect environmental changes by their ability to perceive changes in community attributes. A good example is the semiaquatic bugs (Hemiptera, infra order Gerromorpha) that act as predators and are sensitive to subtle changes in environmental conditions.

The streptothricin antibiotics were among the first antibiotics to be discovered from the environment and remain some of the most recovered antimicrobials in natural product screens. Increasing rates of antibiotic resistance and recognition that streptothricin antibiotics may play a role in countering so-called super-bugs has led to the re-evaluation of their clinical potential. Here we will review the current state of knowledge of streptothricins and their resistance in bacteria, with a focus on the potential for new resistance mechanisms and determinants to emerge in the context of potential widespread clinical adoption of this antibiotic class.

Construction and iterative redesign of synXVI a 903 kb synthetic Saccharomyces cerevisiae chromosome.

Nat Commun

January 2025

School of Natural Sciences, and ARC Centre of Excellence in Synthetic Biology, Macquarie University, Sydney, Australia.

The Sc2.0 global consortium to design and construct a synthetic genome based on the Saccharomyces cerevisiae genome commenced in 2006, comprising 16 synthetic chromosomes and a new-to-nature tRNA neochromosome. In this paper we describe assembly and debugging of the 902,994-bp synthetic Saccharomyces cerevisiae chromosome synXVI of the Sc2.

When developing general-purpose robot software components, we often lack complete knowledge of the specific contexts in which they will be executed. This limits our ability to make predictions, including our ability to detect program bugs statically. Since running a robot is an expensive task, finding errors at runtime can prolong the debugging loop or even cause safety hazards.
