Article Abstract
Phage contamination poses a significant threat to industrial fermentation, leading to substantial economic losses. Virulent T-even type phages (T2/T4/T6) represent particularly concerning biological hazards in fermentation systems. This paper developed a novel CRISPR/Cas12a-based system integrated with recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA), enabling ultrasensitive identification of T-even type phages. This method targeted the TerL gene of T-even type phages as a detection marker. The optimized RPA-CRISPR assay demonstrated exceptional sensitivity with a limit of detection (LOD) reaching 1 aM for synthetic targets. Besides, this system achieved detection thresholds of 1 and 10 PFU/μL for T2 and T4 phages, respectively. Comparative validation with quantitative PCR (qPCR) confirmed the method's reliability through strong correlation in the detection for both spiked and wastewater samples. The detection platform exhibited remarkable potential for rapid, sensitive monitoring of T-even type phages contamination in fermentation processes, offering promising application prospects for quality control in biochemical industries.

Virus-host competition drives evolution of diverse antivirus defenses, but how they co-operate in wild bacteria and how bacteriophages circumvent host immunity remains poorly understood. Here, using a functional screening platform to systematically explore the functions of phage accessory genes, we describe how cell-surface barriers can obscure the phenotypes of intracellular defenses in E. coli isolates.

Background: Women experiencing homelessness have higher rates of unintended pregnancies than stably housed women. Given that some of this may be attributed to nonuse or inconsistent use of contraception, we explored the behavioral cognitions for contraceptive use among women experiencing homelessness. The Information-Motivation-Behavioral Skills (IMB) model can examine health behavior cognitions, while acknowledging the macro-level context.

We report our discovery of a temperature-independent anomalous Hall effect (AHE) from 15 mK to 300 K temperature occurring in a pure bismuth transport device whose average thickness is 68 nm. This surprising behavior is accompanied with an expected temperature-dependent longitudinal resistance consistent with semimetallic bismuth. However, it surprisingly showed no hint of a magnetoresistance for magnetic fields between ±30 T.

We isolated and characterized the novel polyvalent T-even type bacteriophage vB_SenS_Jbel from wastewater using an enrichment of three different Salmonella strains. The vB_SenS_Jbel virions have prolate icosahedral capsids approximately 100 nm long and 80 nm wide. The genome consists of linear, double-stranded DNA that is 165,566 bp long.
