Iron phosphate mediated magnetite synthesis: a bioinspired approach

The biomineralization of intracellular magnetite in magnetotactic bacteria (MTB) is an area of active investigation. Previous work has provided evidence that magnetite biomineralization begins with the formation of an amorphous phosphate-rich ferric hydrox ...

Maturing Mycobacterium smegmatis peptidoglycan requires non-canonical crosslinks to maintain shape

Georg Fantner, John McKinney, Haig Alexander Eskandarian

In most well-studied rod-shaped bacteria, peptidoglycan is primarily crosslinked by penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs). However, in mycobacteria, crosslinks formed by L,D-transpeptidases (LDTs) are highly abundant. To elucidate the role of these unusual cr ...

Bacteria inactivation during the drying of struvite fertilizers produced from stored urine

Tamar Kohn, Loïc Decrey, Simon Schindelholz, Manfred Schoger, Kai Udert

Human urine can be processed into market-attractive fertilizers like struvite; however, concerns regarding the microbial safety of such products remain. The present study evaluated the inactivation of in situ heterotrophs, total bacteria as observed by flo ...

Rapid detection of bacterial resistance to antibiotics using AFM cantilevers as nanomechanical sensors

Giovanni Dietler, Sandor Kasas, Giovanni Longo, Livan Bladimir Alonso Sarduy, Justin Terence Notz Pekkanen, Laura Rio Marques

The widespread misuse of drugs has increased the number of multiresistant bacteria1, and this means that tools that can rapidly detect and characterize bacterial response to antibiotics are much needed in the management of infections. Various techniques, s ...
