Bacterial biofilm formation in low moisture food processing (LMF) plants is related to matters
of food safety, production efficiency, economic loss, and reduced consumer trust. Dry …

Living cells are exquisitely tuned to sense and respond to changes in their environment.
Repurposing these systems to create engineered biosensors has seen growing interest in …

Bacteria employ diverse gene regulatory networks to survive stress, but deciphering the
underlying logic of these complex networks has proved challenging. Here, we use time …

The ability to respond to acidic environments is crucial for neutralophilic bacteria.
Escherichia coli has a well-characterized regulatory network that triggers a multitude of …

Stress response helps microorganisms survive extreme environmental conditions and host
immunity, making them more virulent or drug resistant. Although both reductionist …

Pathogenic bacteria and viruses in medical environments can lead to treatment
complications and hospital-acquired infections. Current disinfection protocols do not …

Microorganisms in large‐scale bioreactors are exposed to heterogeneous environmental
conditions due to physical mixing constraints. Nutritional gradients can lead to transient …

Bacterial transcription has been studied extensively in vitro, which has provided detailed
molecular mechanisms of transcription. The in vivo cellular environment, however, may …
