Adaptive laboratory evolution has proven highly effective for obtaining microorganisms with enhanced capabilities. Yet, this method is inherently restricted to the traits that are positively linked to cell fitness, such as nutrient utilization. Here, we introduce coevolution of obligatory mutuali...
Isobutanol production has been demonstrated in E. coli and Z. mobilis using heterologous pathways, with titers reaching up to 60% of the theoretical yield under optimized conditions. However, these results often depend on impractical setups, such as continuous product extraction, oxygenation, or ...
Energy metabolism is highly interdependent with adaptive cell migration in vivo. Mechanical confinement is a critical physical cue that induces switchable migration modes of the mesenchymal-to-amoeboid transition (MAT). However, the energy states in distinct migration modes, especially a...
Temperature is a critical environmental factor influencing fish physiology. Eleutheronema tetradactylum is an economically important warm-water species, but its response to long-term cold stress remains unclear. In this study, we exposed juvenile fish to 18 °C for 7 and 14 days and investigated h...
In cancer, metabolic changes and uncontrolled tumor growth alter nutrient availability, impacting antitumor immune responses. Regulatory T (Treg) cells are a subset of T cells with immunosuppressive properties that has been found to additionally possess the ability to control tissue homeostasis a...
The phycosphere is an important ecological niche for bacteria and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs). However, whether and how the interaction between microalgae and bacteria changed, and its further effect on the transmission of ARGs under pollutant stress remains enigmatic. Here, Auxenochlorell...
