Prokaryotes encode adaptive immune systems, called CRISPR-Cas (clustered regularly
interspaced short palindromic repeats–CRISPR associated), to provide resistance against …

Tuberculosis remains one of the deadliest diseases. Emergence of drug-resistant and
multidrug-resistant M. tuberculosis strains makes treating tuberculosis increasingly challenging. In …

Abstract Systems-level metabolic network reconstructions and the derived constraint-based (CB)
mathematical models are efficient tools to explore bacterial metabolism. Approximately …

Despite various efforts to develop tools to detect and compare the catabolic potential and
activity for pollutant degradation in environmental samples, there is still a need for an open‐…

The composition and activity of the microbiota in the human gastrointestinal tract are primarily
shaped by nutrients derived from either food or the host. Bacteria colonizing the mucus …

Titania (TiO 2 )-based nanocomposites subjected to light excitation are remarkably effective
in eliciting microbial death. However, the mechanism by which these materials induce …

Prokaryotes use a mechanism called priming to update their CRISPR immunological memory
to rapidly counter revisiting, mutated viruses, and plasmids. Here we have determined how …

Mucinolytic bacteria modulate host–microbiota symbiosis and dysbiosis through their ability
to degrade mucin O-glycans. However, how and to what extent bacterial enzymes are …

Background The human pathogen Mycobacterium tuberculosis has the capacity to escape
eradication by professional phagocytes. During infection, M. tuberculosis resists the harsh …

Gastrointestinal (GI) microbiota composition differs between breastfed and formula-fed
infants. Today’s infant formulas are often fortified with prebiotics to better mimic properties of …
