Currently, we are working on a peper on soil microbiota. We observed a similar shift in underground water and in soil. Thank you for your question

Pirin, a redox-sensitive modulator of beta-oxidation, generates hydroxyl radicals and interacts with CatR, the transcriptional repressor of the major vegetative catalase gene in Streptomyces Pirins are iron-containing proteins conserved throughout evolution, which have been implicated in diverse cellular processes, mostly associated with s…

We found that Pirin, a redox-sensitive modulator of β-oxidation in Streptomyces, generates radicals as a signal to activate antioxidant systems and interacts with CatR, the repressor of catalase

Evolutionary conservation of redox crosstalk?🔬✨

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) as environmental drivers of antimicrobial resistance: insights from genome sequences of Klebsiella grimontii and Citrobacter braakii isolated from contaminat... Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are man-made chemicals widely used for industrial applications since the 1940s. PFAS are extremely persistent in the environment, to the extent that they hav...

🌱 PFOA alters soil microbial communities, boosting K. grimontii and C. braakii, both carrying antibiotic resistance genes and virulence factors.
📈 PFOA increases resistance gene transcription, raising concerns about soil as a reservoir for AMR pathogens.

1/46 Hey folks, we have a new paper out on the MuLTEE. Strap in and I’ll tell you the story of how this “little paper on polyploidy” turned into the most data rich paper our lab has produced, largely thanks to the leadership and work ethic of @kaitong25.bsky.social.
