Electron-bifurcation and fluoride efflux systems in Acetobacterium spp. drive defluorination of perfluorinated unsaturated carboxylic acids

This study identifies electron-bifurcation and fluoride efflux systems in Acetobacterium spp. that enable reductive defluorination of PFAS, supported by biochemical and structural evidence.

Pneumatic Nano-Sieve for CRISPR-based Detection of Drug-resistant Bacteria

This paper introduces a nano-sieve device for MRSA purification and detection using CRISPR, achieving a 15x concentration factor and 100 CFU/mL LOD.

Koisio Technology-Modulated Cell Culture Media can Significantly Increase the Antioxidant Capacity of Mouse Fibroblasts

This study shows that Koisio technology-modulated cell culture media enhance mouse fibroblasts' antioxidant capacity against H2O2-induced stress without adding external substances.

Differential Effects of Koisio Technology-Modulated Solutions on the Growth of Lung Fibroblast Cell Cultures and Lung Cancer Cell Cultures

This study shows Koisio technology-modulated solutions increase lung fibroblast growth by 20% and decrease lung cancer cell growth by 9%, with fibroblasts also showing 14% longer telomeres.

Koisio Technology-Modulated Cell Culture Media can Lead to Markedly Increased Intracellular ATP Levels of Fibroblast Cell Cultures

This study shows that Koisio-modulated cell culture media increases intracellular ATP levels in L929 fibroblasts without affecting mitochondrial membrane potential.

Specific phenotypic, genomic, and fitness evolutionary trajectories toward antibiotic resistance induced by pesticide co-stressors in Escherichia coli

This study shows that co-exposure to pesticides and streptomycin in E. coli leads to stronger antibiotic resistance with lower fitness costs and persistence after selective pressure removal.

Siderophores provoke extracellular superoxide production by carbon-starving Arthrobacter strains when carbon sources recover

The paper shows that siderophores trigger extracellular superoxide production in carbon-starved Arthrobacter strains when carbon sources recover, and highlights interference of DTPA in superoxide quantification.

Exposure to environmental level pesticides stimulates and diversifies evolution in Escherichia coli towards greater antibiotic resistance

This study shows that exposure to environmental-level pesticides with antibiotics increases antibiotic resistance in E. coli through synergistic effects and genetic diversification.
