SprF1, a type I RNA antitoxin, interacts with ribosomes via its 5′-end to reduce translation initiation, thus promoting persister cell formation in Staphylococcus aureus.
A combined geochemical and multi-omics analysis across a 4,600-km transect in the central Pacific Ocean reveals that dinoflagellates play a previously unrecognized role in ecosystem and biogeochemical processes.
BiofilmQ is an image cytometry software tool that enables the visualization, quantification and analysis of biofilm properties, providing insights into their structure and function.
A genetic screen using SorTn-seq—which combines transposon mutagenesis, cell sorting and deep sequencing—identifies multiple pathways that regulate CRISPR–Cas immunity in Serratia sp. ATCC 39006.
A combination of metagenomic analyses, thermodynamic modelling and in situ measurements of gas fluxes shows that a large fraction of soil bacteria can use inorganic energy sources, such as the trace gases hydrogen and carbon monoxide, for growth and persistence.
Using kefir as a natural model microbial ecosystem, the authors apply metabolomics, transcriptomics and large-scale mapping of inter-species interactions to study the drivers of stable coexistence of species in space and time.
