A number of bacteria, and some plants, produce large quantities of indole, which is
widespread in animal intestinal tracts and in the rhizosphere. Indole, as an interspecies and …

The conventional microbial cell analyses are mostly population-averaged methods that
conceal the characteristics of single-cell in the community. Single-cell analysis can provide …

Escherichia coli is a Gram-negative commensal bacterium of the normal microbiota of
humans and animals. However, several E. coli strains are opportunistic pathogens …

Persister and viable but non-culturable (VBNC) cells are two clonal subpopulations that can
survive multidrug exposure via a plethora of putative molecular mechanisms. Here, we …

Improved monitoring of potable water is essential if we are to achieve the UN Sustainable
