This paper designs a synthetic microbial community for lignin degradation by integrating ecological and trait-based selection, showing enhanced lignin conversion through functional partitioning.

GreenLeafVI is a FIJI plugin that enables high-throughput leaf chlorophyll content measurement using image-based colorimetric analysis, showing accuracy comparable to traditional methods.

This paper identifies essential structural domains of DivIVA in Actinomycetota by analyzing truncated variants and chimeric proteins, showing that polar growth depends on Actinomycetota-specific amino acid motifs.

This study shows that E. coli lacking a cell wall compensates by increasing extracellular matrix production, enhancing survival under stress.

The paper identifies and analyzes three variants of lipase A from Streptomyces that show PET-degrading activity, with S2LipA demonstrating efficient degradation of BHET and PET films.

This paper identifies Gbn, a novel GATC-binding NAP in Streptomyces, showing its impact on development and gene expression through chromatin binding and transcriptomic analysis.

The paper shows that mutations in SsgB, a protein that recruits FtsZ, cause longitudinal cell division in Streptomyces by altering septum placement.
