Tape measure (TM) proteins are essential for the formation of long-tailed phages. TM protein assembly into tails requires the action of tail assembly chaperones (TACs). TACs (e.g. gpG and gpT of E. coli phage lambda) are usually produced in a short (...
The enrichment of polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) accumulating bacteria (PAB) in mixed microbial cultures (MMC) is extremely difficult to be predicted and optimized. Here we demonstrate that mechanistic and deep learning models can be integrated innovati...

The resistance of urinary tract pathogenic bacteria to various antibiotics is increasing, which requires the rapid detection of infectious pathogens for accurate and timely antibiotic treatment. Here, we propose a rapid diagnosis strategy for the ant...
Bloodstream infections (BSI) are a main cause of infectious disease morbidity and mortality worldwide. Early prediction of BSI patients at high risk of poor outcomes is important for earlier decision making and effective patient stratification. We de...
Increasing occurrence of harmful algal blooms across the land-water interface poses significant risks to coastal ecosystem structure and human health. Defining significant drivers and their interactive impacts on blooms allows for more effective anal...

Multi-drug resistance (MDR) has become one of the greatest threats to human health worldwide, and novel treatment methods of infections caused by MDR bacteria are urgently needed. Phage therapy is a promising alternative to solve this problem, to whi...
Raman spectroscopy combined with artificial intelligence algorithms have been widely explored and focused on in recent years for food safety testing. It is still a challenge to overcome the cumbersome culture process of bacteria and the need for a la...
Early detection and identification of microbial contaminants is crucial in many sectors, including clinical diagnostics, food quality control and environmental monitoring. Biosensors have recently gained attention among other bacterial detection tech...
Delivery mode and perinatal antibiotics influence gut microbiome composition in children. Most microbiome studies have used the sequencing of the bacterial 16S marker gene but have not reported the metabolic function of the gut microbiome, which may ...
