A modular plasmid toolkit applied in marine bacteria reveals functional insights during bacteria-stimulated metamorphosis

ABSTRACT A conspicuous roadblock to studying marine bacteria for fundamental research and biotechnology is a lack of modular synthetic biology tools for their genetic manipulation.Here, we applied, and generated new parts for, a modular plasmid toolkit to study marine bacteria in the context of symbioses and host-microbe interactions.To demonstrate

The Impact of Precipitation Deficit and Urbanization on Variations in Water Storage in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Urban Agglomeration

Depletion of water resources has threatened water security in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei urban agglomeration, Body Care China.However, the relative importance of precipitation and urbanization to water storage change has not been sufficiently studied.In this study, both terrestrial water storage (TWS) and groundwater storage (GWS) change in Jing-Jin
