Tag-assisted protein purification is a method of choice for both academic researches and
large-scale industrial demands. Application of the purification tags in the protein production …

Engineered living materials have the potential for wide-ranging applications such as
biosensing and treatment of diseases. Programmable cells provide the functional basis for …

The mucus layer on epithelial cells is an essential barrier, as well as a nutrient-rich niche for
bacteria, forming a dynamic, functional and symbiotic ecosystem and first line of defense …

Many pathogenic Gram-negative bacteria use repeats-in-toxin adhesins for colonization and
biofilm formation. In the cholera agent Vibrio cholerae, flagellar-regulated hemagglutinin A …

Carbohydrate recognition by lectins governs critical host-microbe interactions. Mp PA14
(Marinomonas primoryensis PA14 domain) lectin is a domain of a 1.5-MDa adhesin …

RTX adhesins are long, multi-domain proteins present on the outer membrane of many
Gram-negative bacteria. From this vantage point, adhesins use their distal ligand-binding …

Bacterial adhesins attach their hosts to surfaces that the bacteria will colonize. This surface
adhesion occurs through specific ligand‐binding domains located towards the distal end of …

Infections typically begin with pathogens adhering to host cells. For bacteria, this adhesion
can occur through specific ligand-binding domains. We identify a 20-kDa peptide-binding …

Aims To investigate the efficacy of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid-normal saline (EDTA-
NS) in dispersing biofilms and reducing bacterial infections. Methods EDTA-NS solutions …

A Gram-stain-positive, strictly aerobic, creamy-white colored, endospore-forming and non-
motile rods strain, designated as strain 2205SS18-9T, was isolated from a marine sponge …
