Bionanotechnology has now become firmly established in its own right as one of the
principle and focused subdisciplines within nanotechnology.(1-10) Bionanotechnology can …

Bacterial genomes are remarkably stable from one generation to the next but are plastic on
an evolutionary time scale, substantially shaped by horizontal gene transfer, genome …

Despite the availability of Cas9 variants with varied protospacer-adjacent motif (PAM)
compatibilities, some genomic loci—especially those with pyrimidine-rich PAM sequences …

James A. Shapiro proposes an important new paradigm for understanding biological
evolution, the core organizing principle of biology. Shapiro introduces crucial new molecular …

To what extent is the tree of life the best representation of the evolutionary history of
microorganisms? Recent work has shown that, among sets of prokaryotic genomes in which …

Interest in developing diverse nanoparticle (NP)-biological composite materials continues to
grow almost unabated. This is motivated primarily by the desire to simultaneously exploit the …

Regulation of protein function through thiol-based redox switches plays an important role in
the response and adaptation to local and global changes in the cellular levels of reactive …

As major consumers of heterotrophic bacteria and phytoplankton, microzooplankton are a
critical link in aquatic foodwebs. Here, we show that a major marine microflagellate grazer is …

Mycobacteriophages are viruses that infect mycobacterial hosts. Expansion of a collection of
sequenced phage genomes to a total of 60—all infecting a common bacterial host …

Bacterial Physiology and Metabolism focuses on research on bacteria, as well as
metabolism of carbohydrates, fermentation, and oxidation of acids. The book first offers …
