Mechanism of water extraction from gypsum rock by desert colonizing microorganisms.
Wei Huang,Emine Ertekin,Taifeng Wang,Luz Cruz,Micah Dailey,Jocelyne DiRuggiero,David Kisailus,David Kisailus +7 more
TL;DR: This research provides an in-depth analysis of how microorganisms are able to survive in the world’s driest non-polar place, the Atacama Desert, Chile, and shows that these organisms extract water from gypsum rocks in this desert, enabling these colonizing microorganisms to sustain life in this extreme environment.

Kosuke Arai,Satoshi Murata,Taifeng Wang,Wataru Yoshimura,Mayumi Oda-Tokuhisa,H. Matsunaga,David Kisailus,Atsushi Arakaki +7 more
TL;DR: Mms6 can potentially be utilized for the bioconjugation of functional proteins to inorganic material surfaces to modulate inorganic nanoparticles for biomedical and medicinal applications.
Fibrous anisotropy and mineral gradients within the radula stylus of chiton: Controlled stiffness and damage tolerance in a flexible biological composite
Jung Eun Lee,John Connolly,Wen Qi Yang,Guillaume Freychet,Taifeng Wang,Steven Herrera,Satoshi Murata,Phani Saketh Dasika,Devis Montroni,Anna Pohl,Chenhui Zhu,Mikhail Zhernenkov,Richard Wuhrer,Leigh R Sheppard,Michiko Nemoto,Atsushi Arakaki,Pablo D. Zavattieri,David Kisailus +17 more
TL;DR: This work investigates the nano and micro-scale components and architectures as well as regional mechanical properties of the stylus, and their subsequent role during the rasping of Cryptochiton stelleri, finding a flexible region that can accommodate torsion and flexure during rasped.
