Abstract Filamentous prophages are widespread among bacteria and play crucial functions in virulence, antibiotic resistance, biofilm structures. The filamentous Pf4 particles, extruded by an important pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa, can protect producing cells from adverse conditions. Contrary to the conventional belief that Pf4-encoding resist reinfection, we herein report prophage is reciprocally commonly exchanged within P. aeruginosa colonies, which repair defective community. By labeling locus with resistance fluorescence markers, demonstrate frequently colony biofilms, artificial sputum media, infected mouse lungs. We further show trafficking a rapid process capable of rescuing Pf4-defective mutants. phage highly adaptable package additional DNA doubling its genome size. also two clinical isolates susceptible Pf4-mediated exchange, Pf5 be between as well. These findings suggest genetic exchanging interactions may facilitate defect rescue sharing prophage-dependent benefits costs

Despite advancements in electrification and the transition to solar-based electricity production, India will continue depend on land-based carbon offsets achieve its net-zero target. Land-based climate mitigation strategies can be implemented by utilizing underutilized marginal lands or increasing land availability through technological interventions close agricultural yield gaps. Both below-ground (e.g., soil carbon) above-ground standing tree biomass) options offer viable pathways for such measures. Key include cultivating perennial bioenergy feedstocks, afforestation, establishing fast-growing Miyawaki forests, restoring wetlands mangroves, applying biosolids land. However, caution is essential prevent unintended consequences, as clearing natural forests introducing microplastics into soils. The cost of sequestration resilience permanence stored critical factors determining preferred approach. Additionally, often overlap spatially, making GIS-based tools indispensable identifying optimal solutions tailored local conditions. Integrating these national budget enhance transparency contribute significantly India’s emissions goal.
