With the continued increase of genomic information and computational analyses during the
recent years, the number of newly discovered calcium binding proteins (CaBPs) in …

Current production of traditional concrete requires enormous energy investment that
accounts for approximately 5 to 8% of the world's annual CO2 production. Biocement is a …

Lag phase represents the earliest and most poorly understood stage of the bacterial growth
cycle. We developed a reproducible experimental system and conducted functional genomic …

The dissemination of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), especially via the plasmid-
mediated conjugation, is becoming a pervasive global health threat. This study reported that …

Cation transport is a critical process in all organisms and is essential for mineral nutrition,
ion stress tolerance, and signal transduction. Transporters that are members of the …

Abstract Calcium (Ca 2+) is a universal signaling ion, whose major informational role
shaped the evolution of signaling pathways, enabling cellular communications and …

Lactose and food intolerance cause a wide range of gut and systemic symptoms, including
gas, gut pain, diarrhoea or constipation, severe headaches, severe fatigue, loss of cognitive …

Whole-cell, genetically modified bioreporters are designed to emit detectable signals in
response to a target analyte or related group of analytes. When integrated with a transducer …

Surface layers (S-layers) are proteinaceous crystalline coats that constitute the outermost
component of most prokaryotic cell envelopes. In this study, we have investigated the role of …

Membrane intrinsic transport systems play an important role in maintaining ion and pH
homeostasis and forming the proton motive force in the cytoplasm and cell organelles. In …
