Phages are uniquely suited for bacterial detection due to their low cost and ability to recognize live bacteria. Herein, our work establishes the proof-of-concept detection of Salmonella in orange juice based on a phage-mediated portable magnetic relaxation switching (MRS) biosensor. The limit of quantification (LOQ) could reach 5 CFU/mL (95 % confidence interval [CI]: 4-7, N = 4) with a linear range of 10-10 CFU/mL, which has improved 10-fold than that without bioorthogonal signal amplification. The recovery rate of the phage-based MRS biosensor was 95.0 % (95 % confidence interval [CI]: 89.0 %-100.9 %, N = 6). The specificity of the phage-based MRS biosensor was 100 % without false-positive results. In addition, this sensor was able to detect <10 CFU per 25 mL of Salmonella in orange juice with 4-h pre-enrichment. The result from the phage-based MRS biosensor is consistent with that from the standard plate count method. This sensor provides a reliable and ultrasensitive detection platform for pathogens.

The synthesis, structures and magnetic properties of an η5-silole complex and an η5-stannole complex of erbium are reported. The sandwich complex anions [(η5-CpSi)Er(η8-COT)]- and [(η5-CpSn)Er(η8-COT)]-, where CpSi is [SiC4-2,5-(SiMe3)2-3,4-Ph2]2- (1Si), CpSn is [SnC4-2,5-(SiMe3)2-3,4-Me2]2- (1Sn) and COT = cyclo-octatetraenyl, were obtained as their [K(2.2.

Tendon disease ranks among the leading reasons patients consult their general practitioners, comprising approximately one-third of musculoskeletal appointments. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is regarded as the gold standard for assessing tendons. Due to their short transverse relaxation time (T2), Tendons show up as a signal void in conventional MRI scans, which employ sequences with echo times (TEs) around several milliseconds.

We investigated the extracellular and intracellular digestion of bivalves employing magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Ruditapes philippinarum clams and Mytilus galloprovincialis mussels were incubated in seawater containing a contrast reagent (GdDTPA) at 20°C. The digestive systems, from the esophagus to the rectum, were visualized at a high signal intensity by the T1-weighted MRI.

Loz1 is a zinc-responsive transcription factor in fission yeast that maintains cellular zinc homeostasis by repressing the expression of genes required for zinc uptake in high zinc conditions. Previous deletion analysis of Loz1 found a region containing two tandem CH zinc-fingers and an upstream "accessory domain" rich in histidine, lysine, and arginine residues to be sufficient for zinc-dependent DNA binding and gene repression. Here we report unexpected biophysical properties of this pair of seemingly classical CH zinc fingers.
