Despite its simple structure and low degree of electronic correlation, SrTiO_{3} (STO) features collective phenomena linked to charge transport and, ultimately, superconductivity, that are not yet fully explained. Thus, a better insight into the nature of the quasiparticles shaping the electronic and conduction properties of STO is needed. We studied the low-energy excitations of bulk STO and of the LaAlO_{3}/SrTiO_{3} two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) by Ti L_{3} edge resonant inelastic x-ray scattering. In all samples, we find the hallmark of polarons in the form of intense dd+phonon excitations, and a decrease of the LO3-mode electron-phonon coupling when going from insulating to highly conducting STO single crystals and heterostructures. Both results are attributed to the dynamic screening of the large polaron self-induced polarization, showing that the low-temperature physics of STO and STO-based 2DEGs is dominated by large polaron quasiparticles.

During methylotrophic growth of Komagataella phaffii, a large amount of carbon is lost as CO. In this study, we aimed to construct a recovery system for carbon atoms, which emit as CO along the methanol dissimilation pathway in the form of formate when using strain fdh1Δ, the deletion mutant of formate dehydrogenase gene (FDH1). Strain fdh1Δ showed a severe growth defect when using methanol as the sole carbon source.

The formation of large polarons resulting from the Fröhlich coupling of photogenerated carriers with the polarized crystal lattice is considered crucial in shaping the outstanding optoelectronic properties in hybrid organic-inorganic perovskite crystals. Until now, the initial polaron dynamics after photoexcitation have remained elusive in the hybrid perovskite system. Here, based on the terahertz time-domain spectroscopy and optical-pump terahertz probe, we access the nature of interplay between photoexcited unbound charge carriers and optical phonons in MAPbBr within the initial 5 ps after excitation and have demonstrated the simultaneous existence of both electron- and hole-polarons, together with the photogenerated carrier dynamic process.

We demonstrate an early mechanistic role of mitochondria in initiating neoplasticity by performing quantitative analyses of structure-function of single mitochondrial components coupled with single cell transcriptomics. We demonstrate that the large Hyperfused-Mitochondrial-Networks (HMNs) of keratinocytes promptly get converted to the heterogenous Small-Mitochondrial-Networks (SMNs) as the stem cell enriching dose of the model carcinogen, TCDD, depolarizes mitochondria.

serovar Mbandaka, a prevalent foodborne pathogen, poses a threat to public health but remains poorly understood. We have determined the phylogenomic tree, genetic diversity, virulence, and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) profiles on a large genomic scale to elucidate the evolutionary dynamics within the Mbandaka pan-genome. The polyphyletic nature of this serovar is characterized by two distinct phylogenetic groups and inter-serovar recombination boundaries, that potentially arising from recombination events at the H2-antigen loci.
