Most plastics are released to the environment in landfills and around 32% end up sea, inducing large ecological health impacts. The constitute a physical substrate potential carbon source for microorganisms. present study compares structures of bacterial communities from floating plastics, sediment-associated sediments Mediterranean Sea. 16S rRNA microbiome profiles surface sediment plastic-associated microbial biofilms same geographic location differ significantly, with omnipresence...
Abstract Transcriptional heterogeneity in isogenic bacterial populations can play various roles evolution, but its detection remains technically challenging. Here, we use microbial split-pool ligation transcriptomics to study the relationship between subpopulation formation and plasmid-host interactions at single-cell level. We find that transcript abundances are influenced by growth state plasmid carriage. Moreover, carriage constrains of subpopulations. Plasmid genes, including those with...
Anthropogenic metal contamination results in long-term environmental selective pressure with unclear impacts on bacterial communities, which comprise key players ecosystem functioning. Since poses serious toxicity and bioaccumulation issues, assessing their impact microbiomes is important to respond current health issues. Despite elevated concentrations, the river sedimentary microbiome near MetalEurop foundry (France) shows unexpected higher diversity compared upstream control site. In this...
Water-soluble π-conjugated polymers are increasingly envisioned in biosensors, which their unique optical and electronic properties permit a highly sensitive detection of biomolecular targets. In particular, cationic attractive for DNA sensing technologies, through the use fluorescence signals either physiological solutions or thin films. However, context enzymatic activity assays, fluorescence-based methods require covalently labeling with dye an antibody limited to short time scale due...
Plasmids carrying metal resistance genes (MRGs) have been suggested to be key ecological players in the adaptation of metal-impacted microbial communities, making them promising drivers bio-remediation processes. However, impact metals on plasmid-mediated spread MRGs through selection, plasmid loss, and transfer is far from being fully understood. In present study, we used two-member bacterial communities test lead dispersal IncP pKJK5 a Pseudomonas putida KT2440 donor two distinct...

<title>Abstract</title> Transcriptional heterogeneity is common within isogenic bacterial populations. Nonetheless, the interplay between conjugative plasmids and host subpopulation dynamics remains elusive. Here, efficacy of microbial split-pool ligation transcriptomics in unraveling plasmid-host interactions was demonstrated through generation high-quality single-cell transcriptomic data. We found that transcription impacted by growth state but also plasmid carriage at level, resulting a...
