To automate this process, we use a combination of image processing and deep learning approaches to determine the geometric properties. This is done via image segmentation of SEM images using deep convolutional
Archaea and Bacteria are distinct domains of life that are adapted to a variety of ecological niches. Several genome-based methods have been developed for their accurate classification, yet many aspects of the specific genomic features that determine the
Identifying and characterizing virulence proteins secreted by Gram-negative bacteria are fundamental for deciphering microbial pathogenicity as well as aiding the development of therapeutic strategies. Effector predictors utilizing pre-trained protein la
which plays important roles both in horizontal DNA transfer between different bacteria and in bacterial pathogenesis by translocating pathogenic substrates (DNA or protein) into host plant, animal or human cells [1,2]. A large number of T4SSs have been identified in a variety of bacterial ...
18, 19, 20 Naegleria, therefore, represents a unique test of the multi-tubulin hypothesis. The most well-studied spindles are those of animal cells, which contain functionally distinct populations of microtubules, including (1) kinetochore fiber microtubules that bind to kinetochores to connect each...

However, the increasing number of recently described Burkholderia species associated with plants or with the environment has highlighted the division of the genus into two main clusters, as suggested by phylogenetical analyses. The first cluster includes human, animal, and plant pathogens, such as ...
Soil is an important reservoir of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), but their potential risk in different ecosystems as well as response to anthropogenic land use change is unknown. We used a metagenomic approach and datasets with well-characterized me
In fact, the physicochemical characteristics of plant polysaccharides, including molecular weight, monosaccharide composition, glycosidic linkage patterns, and so on, have a profound impact on the biological activities of the polysaccharides themselves, such as antioxidant activity and digestive properties ...
