Bacterial implant-associated infections predominantly contribute to the failure of prosthesis implantation. The local biofilm microenvironment (BME), characterized by its hyperacidic condition and high hydrogen peroxide (HO) level, inhibits the host's immune response, thereby facilitating recurrent infections. Here, a Janus PEGylated CuS nanoparticle (CuPen) armed engineered Lactobacillus casei (L.

Ixodid ticks serve as hosts and transmission vectors for several obligate intracellular bacteria, including members of the spotted fever group (SFG) of . Although ticks generate an immune response to bacterial insults, many of the signaling molecules associated with the response and how they may contribute to vector competence for are undefined. In this study, we isolated a full-length transcript from , which encoded a Relish-type NF-κB.

This study developed antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) from quinoa with high antibacterial activity and stability by mixed-bacteria fermentation. Furthermore, among 9 peptide fractions purified by membrane separation and chromatography, F1 could effectively inhibit the growth and propagation of bacterial microorganisms in apple juice. Subsequently, F1 identified LC-MS/MS as 95 peptides, molecular weights 494.

Coordinated actions of cells in microbial communities and multicellular organisms enable them to perform complex tasks otherwise difficult for single cells. This has inspired biological engineers to build cellular consortia for larger circuits with improved functionalities while implementing communication systems for coordination among cells. Here, we investigate the signalling dynamics of a phage-mediated synthetic DNA messaging system and couple it with CRISPR interference to build distributed circuits that perform logic gate operations in multicellular bacterial consortia.

Background: Ribosome engineering is a semi-empirical technique used to select antibiotic-resistant mutants that exhibit altered secondary metabolism. This method has been demonstrated to effectively select mutants with enhanced synthesis of natural products in many bacterial species, including actinomycetes. Myxobacteria are recognized as fascinating producers of natural active products.
