Coupling to metal nanoparticles can increase the fluorescence intensity and photostability of fluorescent probes, this plasmon-enhanced is particularly promising for dimmer proteins common in biological imaging. Here, we measure distribution single Cy3.5 dye molecules mCherry one at a time as they adsorb on conformal surface 4.8–61.0 nm thick over gold nanorod (NR). The emission intensities both types fluorophores depend nonmonotonically spacer thickness, an optimal thickness ∼10 observed...
Microplastics (MPs) are 1-5 mm plastic particles that serious global contaminants distributed throughout marine ecosystems. However, their impact on intertidal sediment microbial communities is poorly understood. In this study, we conducted a 30-day laboratory tidal microcosm experiment to investigate the effects of MPs communities. Specifically, used biodegradable polymers polylactic acid (PLA) and polybutylene succinate (PBS), as well conventional polyethylene terephthalate (PET),...
Multidrug efflux pumps confer not only antibiotic resistance to bacteria but also cell proliferation. In gram-negative bacteria, the ATP-binding cassette (ABC)-family transporter MacB, adaptor protein MacA, and outer membrane TolC form MacA6:MacB2:TolC3 assembly extrude antibiotics virulence factors. Here, using quantitative single-molecule single-cell imaging, we uncover that, in E. coli cells, there is a large excess of MacB (and TolC) driving limiting MacA mostly into MacAB-TolC assembly....
Integrating the optoelectronic properties of quantum dots (QDs) with biological enzymatic systems to form microbe-semiconductor biohybrids offers promising prospects for both solar-to-chemical conversion and light-modulated biochemical processes. Developing these nano–bio hybrid necessitates a deep understanding charge-transfer dynamics at interface. Photoexcited carrier transfer from QDs microbes is driven by complex interactions, emerging insights into relevant thermodynamic kinetic...
Urbanization carries essential influences to ecosystem of soil bacteria in coastal cities. Comprehending the patterns and drivers bacterial diversity are understanding how ecosystems respond environmental change. This study aimed explore community (SBC) response distinct urbanization cities on composition, assembly process potential function Guangdong province, south China. 72 samples from 24 sample sites within 3 were included study. Soil chemical properties analyzed, investigated by...
Plasmonic nanoparticles (NPs) enhance the radiative decay rate of adjacent dyes and can significantly increase fluorescence intensity for improved spectroscopy. However, NP nanoantenna complicates super-resolution imaging by introducing a mislocalization between emitter position its super-resolved emission position. The magnitude depends strongly on dye/NP coupling geometry. It is therefore crucial to quantify recover actual in coupled system. Here, we super-resolve two three dimensions...
Significance The field of mechanobiology examines how physical forces modulate cell physiology and has traditionally focused on eukaryotic organisms. Here we show that in bacteria, mechanical stresses can interrupt the structure function a molecular assembly used by Gram-negative bacteria to survive grow presence toxins. This work provides evidence like mammalian cells, respond through complexes at surface ways are relevant growth. Our observations further suggest may be synergistically with...
Heat stress has received growing concerns regarding the impact on seafood quality. However, effects of heat sensory properties remain unknown. In this study, fresh oyster (Crassostrea ariakensis) treated with chronic (30 °C) for 8 weeks were characterized using electronic nose, tongue, evaluation, HS–SPME–GC–MS, LC–MS and transcriptomics. Overall, reduced overall oysters. The metabolic network constructed. based enrichment results 423 differential metabolites 166 differentially expressed...
Metal detoxification is essential for bacteria’s survival in adverse environments and their pathogenesis hosts. Understanding the underlying mechanisms crucial devising antibacterial treatments. In Gram-negative bacterium Escherichia coli , membrane-bound sensor CusS its response regulator CusR together regulate transcription of cus operon that plays important roles cells’ resistance to copper/silver, they belong two-component systems (TCSs) are ubiquitous across various organisms diverse...
Understanding the metabolic and transcription basis of pumpkin seed oil (PSO) intervention on disease (MD) is essential to daily nutrition health.This study analyzed liver variations Wistar rats fed normal diet (CON), high-fat (HFD) plus PSO establish relationship between metabolite composition/transcript profile effects MD. By using proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy together with multivariate data analysis, it was found that, compared CON rats, HFD showed clear dysfunctions...
Summary Microbial phylogenetic diversity and species interactions in natural ecosystems have been investigated extensively, but our knowledge about their ecological roles, community dynamics succession patterns is far from complete. This essential to understand the complicated of microorganisms ecosystems. Here, an artificial ecosystem model was constructed oil‐well products cultivated a chemostat investigate pattern alkane‐degrading bacteria, functional population oil reservoirs. Their...
A new insulin-like growth factor (Igf) subtype 3 (igf3) has recently been found in the bony fish orange-spotted grouper (Epinephelus coioides). However, role of igf3 maturation ovary and sex differentiation E. coioides is currently unknown. We examined ovarian localization receptor binding novel ortholog Igf3 using qRT-PCR, Western blotting, combined with situ hybridization immunohistochemistry methods. Results demonstrated presence mRNA protein mature oocytes. Furthermore, expression was...
