Silence is safest: Information disclosure when the audience’s preferences are uncertain Open
We examine voluntary disclosure decisions when firms are uncertain about audience preferences and are risk averse. In contrast to classic “unraveling” results, some firms remain silent in equilibrium. Silence is safer than disclosure; sile…

Synergistic effect on concrete corrosion control in sewer environment achieved by applying surface washing on calcium nitrite admixed concrete Open
Microbially influenced concrete corrosion (MICC) is often the major cause for the structure-failure in sewers. To mitigate the MICC, surface washing was considered as a cost efficient approach, however its effect is temporary and limited d…

Chlorine disinfection facilitates natural transformation through ROS-mediated oxidative stress Open
The bacterial infection that involves antimicrobial resistance is a rising global threat to public health. Chlorine-based water disinfection processes can inactivate antibiotic resistant bacteria. However, at the same time, these processes…

Non-antibiotic pharmaceuticals promote the transmission of multidrug resistance plasmids through intra- and intergenera conjugation Open
Antibiotic resistance is a global threat to public health. The use of antibiotics at sub-inhibitory concentrations has been recognized as an important factor in disseminating antibiotic resistance via horizontal gene transfer. Although non…

Nonnutritive sweeteners can promote the dissemination of antibiotic resistance through conjugative gene transfer Open
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a worldwide threat to human health and biosecurity. The spread of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) via conjugative plasmid transfer is a major contributor to the evolution of this resistance. Although…

Non-antibiotic pharmaceuticals enhance the transmission of exogenous antibiotic resistance genes through bacterial transformation Open
Antibiotic resistance is a serious global threat for public health. Considering the high abundance of cell-free DNA encoding antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in both clinical and environmental settings, natural transformation is an impor…

Adaptive Evolution of Geobacter sulfurreducens in Coculture with Pseudomonas aeruginosa Open
Geobacter and Pseudomonas spp. cohabit many of the same environments, where Geobacter spp. often dominate. Both bacteria are capable of extracellular electron transfer (EET) and play important roles in biogeochemical cycling. Although they…

Buying Slow and Selling Fast: Speed Asymmetry in Share Issuances and Repurchases Open
Almost all firms repurchase shares gradually through open market repurchase (OMR) programs as opposed to using the quicker alternative of tender offers. In contrast, issue methods are both more diverse, and often quicker: while a significa…

Non-antibiotic pharmaceuticals can enhance the spread of antibiotic resistance via conjugation Open
Antibiotic resistance is a global threat for public health. It is widely acknowledged that antibiotics at sub-inhibitory concentrations are important in disseminating antibiotic resistance via horizontal gene transfer. While there is high …

Global diversity and biogeography of bacterial communities in wastewater treatment plants Open
Microorganisms in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are essential for water purification to protect public and environmental health. However, the diversity of microorganisms and the factors that control it are poorly understood. Using a …

Triclosan at environmentally relevant concentrations promotes horizontal transfer of multidrug resistance genes within and across bacterial genera Open
TCS could enhance the conjugative ARGs transfer between bacteria by triggering ROS overproduction at environmentally relevant concentrations. These findings improve our awareness of the hidden risks of NAAM chemicals on the spread of antib…

Antiepileptic drug carbamazepine promotes horizontal transfer of plasmid-borne multi-antibiotic resistance genes within and across bacterial genera Open
Antibiotic resistance is a severe global threat for public health, causing around 700,000 deaths per year. Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is one of the most significant pathways to disseminate antibiotic resistance. It is commonly acknowle…

Mechanisms of Persistence of the Ammonia-Oxidizing Bacteria <i>Nitrosomonas</i> to the Biocide Free Nitrous Acid Open
Free nitrous acid (FNA) exerts a broad range of antimicrobial effects on bacteria, although susceptibility varies considerably among microorganisms. Among nitrifiers found in activated sludge of wastewater treatment processes (WWTPs), nitr…
