Abstract: Compositions and methods are provided for modulating growth of a genetically modified bacterial cell present in a human organ, for modulating growth of a genetically modified bacterial cell in an organ (e.g., gut), for displacing at least a portion of a population of bacterial cells in an organ, and for facilitating gut colonization by a genetically modified bacterial cell. Also provided are genetically modified bacterial cells, e.g., cells that include a heterologous carbohydrate-utilization gene or gene set that provides for the ability to utilize as a carbon source a rare carbohydrate of interest that is utilized as a carbon source by less than 50% of bacterial cells present in a human microbiome.

Abstract: Provided are nucleic acids that include a promoter, where the promoter is operable in a Bacteroides cell and is operably linked to a heterologous nucleotide sequence of interest. Also provided are nucleic acids that include a promoter (operable in a prokaryotic cell such as a Bacteroides cell) operably linked to a sequence encoding a synthetic ribosomal binding site (RBS). Also provided are fusion proteins (and nucleic acids encoding them) in which a secreted Bacteroides polypeptide is fused to a heterologous polypeptide of interest. Also provided are prokaryotic cells (e.g., E. coli, a Bacteroides cell, and the like) that include one more nucleic acids such as those described above. Also provided are methods of expression in a prokaryotic cell, methods of detectably labeling a Bacteroides cell in an animal's gut, and methods of delivering a protein to an individual's gut.

Abstract: In an approach, a processor provides multiple defined categories of sensitive information. For each post associated with an entity, a processor extracts one or more information portions. A processor determines one or more categories to which each of the one or more information portions is relevant. A processor analyzes a category's respective information portions to combine the respective information portions determined to be relevant to the category to determine whether the combination of the respective information portions discloses sensitive information.
