A recent study by Chinese scientists has revealed the intricate molecular machinery driving energy exchange within ...

The MacAB-TolC complex, known as a multidrug efflux pump, spans the cell’s inner and outer membranes, as well as the periplasm that connects them. Each protein occupies a different location ...

They also have a sophisticated plumbing system in the form of a three-part protein complex – MacAB-TolC – that spans the cell's inner and outer membranes, as well as the periplasm that ...

The bulk of bacteria transiently evading appropriate antibiotic regimes and recovered from non-resolutive infections are commonly refer to as persisters. In this mini-review, we discuss how antibiotic ...

Fe-driven biological nitrogen removal (FeBNR) has become one of the main technologies in water pollution remediation due to its economy, safety and mild reaction conditions. This paper systematically ...

This important study describes how a single effector of the Type Six Secretion System (T6SS) has two distinct functions, which may contribute to bacterial survival and the development of novel ...

During the peer-review process the editor and reviewers write an eLife assessment that summarises the significance of the findings reported in the article (on a scale ranging from landmark to useful) ...
