https://www.selleckchem.com/products/b022.html Inspired by the structure and functionality of natural cellular tissues, droplet interface bilayer (DIB)-based materials strategically combine model membrane assembly techniques and droplet microfluidics. These structures have shown promising results in applications ranging from biological computing to chemical microrobots. This Feature Article briefly explores recent advances in the areas of construction, manipulation, and functionalization of DIB networks; discusses their unique mechanics; and focuses on the contributions of our lab in the advancement of this platform. We also reflect on some of the limitations facing DIB-based materials and how they might be addressed, highlighting promising applications made possible through the refinement of the material concept.Besides the ecotoxicological consequences of microplastics and associated chemicals, the association of microbes on plastics has greater environmental implications as microplastics may select for unique microbiome participating in environmentally significant functions. Despite this, the functional potential of the microbiome associated with different types of plastics is understudied. Here, we investigate the interaction between plastic and marine biofilm-forming microorganisms through a whole-genome sequencing approach on four types of microplastics incubated in the marine environment. Taxonomic analysis suggested that the microplastic surfaces exhibit unique microbial profiles and niche partitioning among the substrates. In particular, the abundance of Vibrio alginolyticus and Vibrio campbellii suggested that microplastic pollution may pose a potential risk to the marine food chain and negatively impact aquaculture industries. Microbial genera involved in xenobiotic compound degradation, carbon cycling, and genes associated with the type IV secretion system, conjugal transfer protein TraG, plant-pathogen interaction, CusA/CzcA family heavy metal efflux tr
