Three Vibrio isolates from the coral Pachyseris speciosa as draft genome resources

ABSTRACT Vibrio coralliilyticus SCP4, Vibrio harveyi SCP5, and Vibrio sp. SCP2 were isolated from the coral Pachyseris speciosa in Singapore, adding to reports of Vibrio in tropical corals. Their draft genomes variably encode types II, III, and VI secretion systems, toxR , and vc...

Plant‐Inspired Symbiotic Atmospheric Water Sorption–Evaporation for High Efficiency Adaptive Passive Cooling

ABSTRACT Atmospheric water sorption–evaporation passive cooling couples two antagonistic processes, moisture harvesting and evaporative heat dissipation, whose intrinsic trade‐off hinders integrated system‐level design and limits stable operation under high heat fluxes. Inspired...

Growth-dependent tRNA reprogramming and codon bias link translation to metabolic state in Enterococcus faecalis

ABSTRACT Enterococcus faecalis is a gram-positive commensal bacterium of the human gut microbiome and an opportunistic pathogen responsible for many hospital-acquired infections. Despite the clinical importance of E. faecalis , how gene and protein expression are coordinated with...

Labyrinthula merlionensis sp. nov.: A Novel Labyrinthulid Infecting Marine Diatoms

Labyrinthulomycetes are a class of fungus-like heterotrophic protists from the Stramenopiles lineage, recognized for their ecological role as decomposers and contributors to nutrient cycling. They colonize various substrates, from seaweed to terrestrial environments, utilizing ec...
