The growing prevalence of infectious diseases and the increasing threat of bacterial resistance have drawn widespread attention to antimicrobial inorganic nanomaterials. However, the diversity, abundance, and complex mechanisms of these materials pre...
Can we understand and predict the evolutionary pathways by which bacteria acquire multi-drug resistance (MDR)? These questions have substantial potential impact in basic biology and in applied approaches to address the global health challenge of anti...
Predicting prokaryotic phenotypes-observable traits that govern functionality, adaptability, and interactions-holds significant potential for fields such as biotechnology, environmental sciences, and evolutionary biology. In this study, we leverage m...
Soil microorganisms are crucial to ecosystem health, and their composition and distribution are shaped by a range of environmental factors. However, the effects of accelerating climate change on soil microbiomes remain under-explored. This study exam...
Microplastic mitigation strategies that adapt to various actual aquatic environments require the ability to predict their microbial degradation potential. However, the sources and enrichment characteristics of the degrading bacteria in the plastisphe...
Alternating treatment with free ammonia (FA) and free nitrous acid (FNA) is an effective strategy to inhibit nitrite-oxidizing bacteria (NOB) in partial nitrification (PN) process. However, the current alternating treatment relies on manual assessmen...
Polyphenols are plant-derived secondary metabolites known for their antioxidants, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties, with flavonoids being the most structurally diverse and medically relevant subclass. Traditional plant extraction is li...
Application of machine learning-based methods to identify novel bacterial enzymes capable of degrading a wide range of xenobiotics offers enormous potential for bioremediation of toxic and carcinogenic recalcitrant xenobiotics such as pesticides, pla...
In many medical and pharmaceutical processes, continuous hygiene monitoring is crucial, often involving the manual detection of microorganisms in agar dishes by qualified personnel. Although deep learning methods hold promise for automating this task...
Advances in microrobotics and synthetic biology are paving the way for innovative solutions to long-standing challenges in drug delivery. Both fields have independently worked on engineering bacteria as a therapeutic system, focusing on enhancing pro...
