Motility and chemotaxis are crucial processes for soil bacteria and plant–microbe interactions. This applies to the symbiotic bacterium Rhizobium leguminosarum , where motility is driven by flagella rotation controlled by two chemotaxis systems, Che1 and Che2. The Che1 cluster is particularly important in free‐living motility prior to the establishment of the symbiosis, with a che1 mutant delayed in nodulation and reduced in n...

Wider use of timber has the potential to greatly reduce the embodied carbon of construction. Improved chemical treatment could help overcome some of the barriers to wider application of timber, by furthering the durability and/or mechanical properties of this natural material. Improving timber treatment by treating the whole volume of a piece of timber, or tailored sections thereof, requires sound understanding and validated m...
