The formation of lateral microdomains is emerging as a central organizing principle in
bacterial membranes. These microdomains are targets of antibiotic development and have …

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), some of the most widespread organic
contaminants, are highly toxic to soil microorganisms. Whether long-term polluted soils can …

The bacterial domain produces numerous types of sphingolipids with various physiological
functions. In the human microbiome, commensal and pathogenic bacteria use these lipids to …

Polybrominated diphenyl ether contamination in sediments poses serious threats to human
health and ecological safety. Despite the broad application of submerged macrophytes for …

Background Microbiomes contribute to multiple ecosystem services by transforming organic
matter in the soil. Extreme shifts in the environment, such as drying-rewetting cycles during …

The microbiota of the built environment is linked to usage, materials and, perhaps most
importantly, human health. Many studies have attempted to identify ways of modulating …

Approximately one-third of the human colonic microbiome is formed by bacteria from the
genus Bacteroides. These bacteria produce a large amount of uniformly sized outer …

Outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) are a primary means of communication for Gram-negative
bacteria. The specific role of vesicle components in cellular communication and how …

In the fight against antibiotic resistance, drugs that target resistance mechanisms in bacteria
can be used to restore the therapeutic effectiveness of antibiotics. The multidrug resistance …

Aims Gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) constitutes the primary growth substrate for
Porphyromonas gingivalis in vivo. The goal of this work was to evaluate the growth of …
