Salivaricin G32, a Homolog of the Prototype Streptococcus pyogenes Nisin-Like Lantibiotic SA-FF22, Produced by the Commensal Species Streptococcus salivarius by Philip A. Wescombe, Kristin H. Dyet, Karen P. Dierksen, Daniel A. Power, Ralph W. Jack, Jeremy P. Burton, Megan A. Inglis, Anna L. Wescombe, John R. Tagg

“…As for most other lantibiotics produced by S. salivarius, the salivaricin G32 locus can be megaplasmid encoded. Another member of the SA-FF22 family was detected in two Streptococcus dysgalactiae of bovine origin, an observation supportive of widespread distribution of this lantibiotic within the genus Streptococcus. …”

Graph-Based Node Finding in Big Complex Contextual Social Graphs by Keshou Wu, Guanfeng Liu, Junwen Lu

“…Targeting this challenging problem, we propose a recurrent neural network- (RNN-) based Monte Carlo Tree Search algorithm (RN-MCTS), which automatically balances exploring new possible matches and extending existing matches. The RNN encodes the subgraph and maps it to a policy which is used to guide the MCTS. …”
