The paper identifies bacterial chemoreceptors for short-chain carboxylic acids using a pooled screening assay and structural analysis.

This study expresses carbonic anhydrase in Acinetobacter sp. Tol 5 to enhance CO2 conversion as a whole-cell biocatalyst, finding that periplasmic expression significantly improves activity.

The paper constructs predictive models to determine if genes respond to AoXlnR expression changes using DNA shape features around binding motifs.

This paper develops a fast feature extraction method for SARS-CoV-2 spike sequences using amino acid physicochemical properties, achieving accurate clustering with reduced runtime compared to conventional methods.
