Risk assessment of waterborne virus in Lake Geneva: the present and the future

The presence of waterborne enteric viruses in lake recreational water sites is not desired, as they may have a negative impact on human health. However, their concentrations, fate and transport in lakes remain poor understood. To date, the health risks pos ...

Susceptibility of enveloped and non-enveloped viruses to ultraviolet light-emitting diode (UV-LED) irradiation and implications for virus inactivation mechanisms

Shotaro Torii

Ultraviolet (UV) light-emitting diodes (UV-LEDs), a disinfection technology, efficiently inactivate pathogens in water. However, the assessment of UV-LED treatment and the mechanisms of UV inactivation on viruses (especially enveloped viruses) are limited. ...

Aerosol pH is an overlooked driver of airborne influenza and coronavirus inactivation

Tamar Kohn

The current pandemic has added to the growing evidence that respiratory viruses can be transmitted by the airborne route. Non-pharmaceutical interventions, such as mask wearing or ventilation, aim to reduce the public health burden of respiratory diseases ...

Interactions between pili affect the outcome of bacterial competition driven by the type VI secretion system

Melanie Blokesch, Anne-Florence Raphaëlle Bitbol, Alexandre Lemopoulos, Richard Marie Servajean, Simon Bernhard Otto

The bacterial type VI secretion system (T6SS) is a widespread, kin-discriminatory weapon capable of shaping microbial communities. Due to the system's dependency on contact, cellular interactions can lead to either competition or kin protection. Cell-to-ce ...

Archaeal type IV pili stabilize Haloferax volcanii biofilms in flow

Alexandre Louis André Persat, Lorenzo Anton-Louis Talà, Pascal Damian Odermatt

Multicellular communities of contiguous cells attached to solid surfaces called biofilms represent a common microbial strategy to improve resilience in adverse environments.1-3 While bacterial biofilms have been under intense investigation, whether archaea ...

Assessing the value of kinetic results from biochemical methane potential tests: Reproducibility from a large inter-laboratory study

Christof Holliger

Kinetic information extracted from biochemical methane potential (BMP) tests is often reported but its value is unclear. Inter-laboratory reproducibility provides a useful indication of its value. Here we extracted estimates of the first-order rate constan ...

T-RECS: a Transformer-based Recommender Generating Textual Explanations and Integrating Unsupervised Language-based Critiquing

Boi Faltings, Claudiu-Cristian Musat, Diego Matteo Antognini

Supporting recommendations with personalized and relevant explanations increases trust and perceived quality, and helps users make better decisions. Prior work attempted to generate a synthetic review or review segment as an explanation, but they were not ...

Structure and Function of the T4 Spackle Protein Gp61.3

Petr Leiman, Alec Fraser

The bacteriophage T4 genome contains two genes that code for proteins with lysozyme activity-e and 5. Gene e encodes the well-known T4 lysozyme (commonly called T4L) that functions to break the peptidoglycan layer late in the infection cycle, which is requ ...

Structure and transformation of bacteriophage A511 baseplate and tail upon infection of Listeria cells

Sergey Nazarov, Petr Leiman, Ricardo Cesar Guerrero Ferreira

Contractile injection systems (bacteriophage tails, type VI secretions system, R-type pyocins, etc.) utilize a rigid tube/contractile sheath assembly for breaching the envelope of bacterial and eukaryotic cells. Among contractile injection systems, bacteri ...

Structure and Function of the Branched Receptor-Binding Complex of Bacteriophage CBA120

Sergey Nazarov, Petr Leiman, Sergii Buth, Nikolai Prokhorov, Michel Plattner

Bacteriophages recognize their host cells with the help of tail fiber and tailspike proteins that bind, cleave, or modify certain structures on the cell surface. The spectrum of ligands to which the tail fibers and tailspikes can bind is the primary determ ...
