We demonstrate a strong enhancement of the antimicrobial action of chlorhexidine which is attributed to the electrostatic adhesion of the cationic nanocarriers on the microbial cell walls which leads to their accumulation and local delivery of chlorhexidine directly on to the microbial cell membrane.

We demonstrate a strong enhancement of the antimicrobial action of berberine encapsulated in shellac nanoparticles with dual surface functionality. This is attributed to the electrostatic adhesion of the cationic nanocarriers to the microbial cell walls which leads to their accumulation and local delivery of berberine.

Microbial Turnover

AbstractGlobal warming increases soil temperatures and promotes faster growth and turnover of soil microbial communities. As microbial cell walls contain a high proportion of organic nitrogen, a higher turnover rate of microbes should also be reflected in an accelerated organic nitrogen cycling in soil. We used a metatranscriptomics and metagenomics approach to demonstrate that the relative transcription level of genes encoding enzymes involved in the extracellular depolymerization of high-molecular-weight organic nitrogen was higher in medium-term (8 years) and long-term (>50 years) warmed soils than in ambient soils. This was mainly driven by increased levels of transcripts coding for enzymes involved in the degradation of microbial cell walls and proteins. Additionally, higher transcription levels for chitin, nucleic acid, and peptidoglycan degrading enzymes were found in long-term warmed soils. We conclude that an acceleration in microbial turnover under warming is coupled to higher investments in N acquisition enzymes, particularly those involved in the breakdown and recycling of microbial residues, in comparison with ambient conditions.

This manuscript investigates cytokinesis in fission yeast spheroplasts and reports that the extracellular matrix inhibits division site ingression and that new septum synthesis relieves this inhibition. The work also shows the importance of the actomyosin ring and membrane secretion in spheroplast division.
