Abstract: Bacteriophages (or phages) remain the leading cause of failure in dairy fermentations. Thereby, phage-resistant Lactococcus lactis and Lactococcus cremoris dairy starters are in continuous demand. In this work, our goal was to identify phage defense mechanisms against ceduoviruses encoded by two wild isolates of dairy origin named L. lactis IPLA517 and IPLA1064. These strains were previously subjected to experimental evolution to select derivatives that are resistant to the bacteriocin Lcn972. I[...]
Our summary: This study investigates how a plasmid-encoded surface polysaccharide blocks ceduovirus infection in lactococci. The loss of a 41 kb endogenous plasmid leads to increased phage sensitivity, highlighting the role of exopolysaccharides in phage defense mechanisms. Horizontal gene transfer between L. lactis and L. garvieae is also demonstrated.

Embedding Security Awareness into a Blockchain-Based Dynamic Access Control Framework for the Zero Trust Model in Distributed Systems
Published on 2025-03-11 by Avoy Mohajan, Sharmin Jahan @MDPI
Abstract: The Zero Trust (ZT) model is pivotal in enhancing the security of distributed systems by emphasizing rigorous identity verification, granular access control (AC), and continuous monitoring. To address the complexity and scalability challenges of modern distributed systems, we propose a blockchain-based dynamic access control scheme (DACS) as a practical solution for implementing ZT principles. This framework dynamically manages access control lists (ACLs) and enforces policies through smart cont[...]

The Chemical Deformation of a Thermally Cured Polyimide Film Surface into Neutral 1,2,4,5-Benzentetracarbonyliron and 4,4′-Oxydianiline to Remarkably Enhance the Chemical–Mechanical Planarization Polishing Rate
Published on 2025-03-10 by Man-Hyup Han, Hyun-Sung Koh, Il-Haeng Heo, Myung-Hoe Kim, Pil-Su Kim, Min-Uk Jeon, Min-Ji Kim, Woo-Hyun Jin, Kyoo-Chul Cho, Jinsub Park, Jea-Gun Park @MDPI
Abstract: The rapid advancement of 3D packaging technology has emerged as a key solution to overcome the scaling-down limitation of advanced memory and logic devices. Redistribution layer (RDL) fabrication, a critical process in 3D packaging, requires the use of polyimide (PI) films with thicknesses in the micrometer range. However, these polyimide films present surface topography variations in the range of hundreds of nanometers, necessitating chemical–mechanical planarization (CMP) to achi[...]
Our summary: Rapid advancement of 3D packaging technology requires polyimide films with nanometer-level surface flatness for RDL fabrication. Introducing Fe(NO3)3 into CMP slurries deforms the polyimide film surface, enhancing the chemical-mechanical polishing rate. Optimal Fe(NO3)3 concentration for maximum film removal rate is 0.05 wt%.
