This review aims to serve as an introduction to the solute carrier proteins (SLC) superfamily
of transporter proteins and their roles in human cells. The SLC superfamily currently …

Bacterial multidrug efflux pumps have come to prominence in human and veterinary
pathogenesis because they help bacteria protect themselves against the antimicrobials …

Metals have been used as antimicrobial agents since antiquity, but throughout most of
history their modes of action have remained unclear. Recent studies indicate that different …

A growing body of documents shows microbiota produce metabolites such as short-chain
fatty acids (SCFAs) as crucial executors of diet-based microbial influence the host and …

Heavy metal pollution is one of the major environmental concerns worldwide. Toxic heavy
metals when untreated get accumulated in environment and can pose severe threats to …

The soil microbial community fulfils various functions, such as nutrient cycling and carbon
