Abstract: To understand the growth-promoting and disease-inhibiting activities of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) strains, the genomes of 12 Bacillus subtilis group strains with PGPR activity were sequenced and analyzed. These B. subtilis strains exhibited high genomic diversity, whereas the genomes of B. amyloliquefaciens strains (a member of the B. subtilis group) are highly conserved. A pairwise BLASTp matrix revealed that gene family similarity among Bacillus genomes ranges from 32-90%, with 2,839 genes within the core genome of B. amyloliquefaciens subsp. plantarum (now B. velezensis). Comparative genomic analyses of B. amyloliquefaciens strains identified genes that are linked with biological control and colonization of roots and/or leaves, including 73 genes uniquely associated with subsp. plantarum (now B. velezensis) strains that have predicted functions related to signaling, transportation, secondary metabolite production, and carbon source utilization.

Abstract: An interfacial plasmonic heating intensified IP reaction (IPH-IP) is used to fabricate highly permeable and selective polyamide RO membranes. Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are introduced to the IP reaction interface to serve as nano-heat generators under light illumination. The coupling of generated nano-heat rapidly promotes the interfacial temperature, thereby boosting the formation of extensively “nano-foamed” polyamide with prominent nanovoids and high crosslinking degree. These features enable the resulting RO membrane to achieve a superior combination of water permeance (3.4 L m?2 h?1 bar?1) and NaCl rejection (99.7%). This outstanding separation performance further enables the membrane to efficiently remove a wide spectrum of toxic contaminants frequently found in different water sources, revealing huge potential for various water treatment applications.

Chimeric autoantigen receptor (CAAR) T cells are engineered using a CAAR construct causing thyroid stimulating hormone receptor (TSHR) epitope expression such that the engineered CAAR T cells serve as bait for autoreactive B cells. The engineered CAAR T cells specifically eliminate the autoreactive B cells, thus eliminating the causative factor for GD. Certain CAAR T cells are further engineered to incorporate bispecific LINK CAR technology to further require the presence of CD19 or BCMA to further increase CAAR T cell targeting specificity to autoreactive B cells and plasma cells.
