Carbon Dioxide Controls Fungal Fitness and Skin Tropism of Candida auris

This study identifies a carbonic sensing pathway (CSP) in Candida auris that enhances drug resistance and skin colonization through mechanisms involving ROS response, cell wall remodeling, and energy metabolism.

Maize phytocytokines and microbial-patterns trigger antagonistic features in co-incidence with wounding and fungal pathogens

This study identifies three active maize phytocytokines that trigger immune responses similar to MAMPs but with distinct antagonistic features in plant defense against fungal pathogens and wounding.

Capacity of countries to reduce biological invasions

This study identifies socio-ecological predictors that explain country-level alien species richness and capacity to manage biological invasions, revealing historical influences of governance and trade.

A global perspective on microbial diversity in the terrestrial deep subsurface

This study analyzes microbial diversity in the terrestrial deep subsurface using 16S rRNA gene data, finding that aquifer lithology controls bacterial community diversity and identifying a core microbial consortium across different rock types.
