Extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) are known to crucially affect the properties and
performance of activated sludge, but the detailed influential mechanisms and the pertinence …

Microbial biofilms can be both cause and cure to a range of emerging societal problems
including antimicrobial tolerance, water sanitation, water scarcity and pollution. The …

Bacteria possess an extraordinary repertoire of cell envelope glycans that have critical
physiological functions. Pathogenic bacteria have glycans that are essential for growth and …

The bacterial division apparatus catalyses the synthesis and remodelling of septal
peptidoglycan (sPG) to build the cell wall layer that fortifies the daughter cell poles …

The peptidoglycan (PG) cell wall is an extra-cytoplasmic glycopeptide polymeric structure
that protects bacteria from osmotic lysis and determines cellular shape. Since the cell wall …

As a typical bioorthogonal reaction, the copper‐catalyzed azide–alkyne cycloaddition
(CuAAC) has been used for drug design and synthesis. However, for localized drug …

Humans and bacteria have always been closely related. However, pathogenic bacteria and
drug‐resistant bacteria pose a certain threat to human life and health. On the other hand …

The surging development of bioorthogonal chemistry has profoundly transformed chemical
biology over the last two decades. Involving chemical partners that specifically react together …

Bacteria exhibit a myriad of different morphologies, through the synthesis and modification of
their essential peptidoglycan (PG) cell wall. Our discovery of af luorescent da mino a cid …
