Investigation of microbial community dynamics in soil during variable hydrological forcing

Climate change is expected to alter the temporal distribution of precipitation events, leading to prolonged drought periods and an increased frequency of extreme precipitation events. Changes in precipitation pattern will directly affect soil moisture dyna ...

Pseudomonas aeruginosa type IV pili actively induce mucus contraction to form biofilms in tissue-engineered human airways

Bart Deplancke, Alexandre Louis André Persat, Lorenzo Anton-Louis Talà, Jörn Pezoldt, Tamara Rossy, Lucas Andrade Meirelles, Tania Distler

The opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa causes antibiotic-recalcitrant pneumonia by forming biofilms in the respiratory tract. Despite extensive in vitro experimentation, how P. aeruginosa forms biofilms at the airway mucosa is unresolved. To inv ...

Measurements of aerosol microphysical and chemical properties in the central Arctic atmosphere during MOSAiC

Julia Schmale, Ivo Fabio Beck, Hélène Paule Angot, Lubna Dada, Benjamin Jérémy Laurent Heutte, Nora Bergner

The Arctic environment is transforming rapidly due to climate change. Aerosols’ abundance and physicochemical characteristics play a crucial, yet uncertain, role in these changes due to their influence on the surface energy budget through direct interactio ...

Meta-omics-aided isolation of an elusive anaerobic arsenic-methylating soil bacterium

Rizlan Bernier-Latmani, Karin Lederballe Meibom, Karen Elda Viacava Romo, Nicolas Louis Maurice Jacquemin, Matthew Charles Reid, Jiangtao Qiao

Soil microbiomes harbor unparalleled functional and phylogenetic diversity and are sources of novel metabolisms. However, extracting isolates with a targeted function from complex microbiomes is not straightforward, particularly if the associated phenotype ...

Integrating environmental variability to broaden the research on coral responses to future ocean conditions

Cristina Martin Olmos, Nils Rädecker

Our understanding of the response of reef-building corals to changes in their physical environment is largely based on laboratory experiments, analysis of long-term field data, and model projections. Experimental data provide unique insights into how organ ...

Biotechnology Applications of Nanocarbons in Plant and Algal Systems

Ardemis Anoush Boghossian, Alice Judith Gillen, Alessandra Antonucci

The unique combination of structural, optical, and electronic properties of nanocarbons (NCs) has made these materials particularly attractive for various applications in biotechnology and biomedicine, ranging from sensing, gene-delivery, bioimaging and th ...

Insights into flagellar function and mechanism from the squid-vibrio symbiosis

Stéphanie Kéren Cohen

Flagella are essential and multifunctional nanomachines that not only move symbionts towards their tissue colonization site, but also play multiple roles in communicating with the host. Thus, untangling the activities of flagella in reaching, interacting, ...

Subordinate plant species moderate drought effects on earthworm communities in grasslands

Alexandre Buttler, Claire Guenat, Pierre Rémi Mariotte

Loss of plant diversity resulting from forecasted drought events is likely to alter soil functioning and affect earthworm communities. Plant-soil interactions are expected to play an important role in mediating climate change effects on soil decomposers. I ...

Responses of soil properties and crop yields to different inorganic and organic amendments in a Swiss conventional farming system

Luca Bragazza, Konstantin Svetlozarov Gavazov

In agro-ecosystems, fertilization practices are crucial for sustaining crop productivity. Here, based on a 50-year long-term experiment, we studied the influence of fertilization practices (inorganic and/or organic) and nitrogen (N) application rates on (i ...

The vulnerability of Swiss Alpine tourism to climate change. An analysis of its causes, its magnitude, and its spatial heterogeneity

Cecilia Matasci

In this work, we analyze the vulnerability of tourism to climate change in 53 Swiss alpine regions. We analyzed in particular the impacts generated by changes in climate suitability for tourism activities, snowpack reduction, glaciers melting, permafrost m ...
