AlGaN-based germicidal UV LEDs show promise in fighting the COVID-19 pandemic through disinfection of air, water, and surfaces. We report UV LEDs grown by MOCVD on SiC substrates, fabricated into thin-film flip chip devices. Replacing the uniform p-Al x Ga1-xN layer (x = 0.2) with a short-period-superlattice of altern…

YoeB-YefM, the widespread type II toxin-antitoxin (TA) module, binds to its own promoter to autoregulate its transcription: repress or induce transcription under normal or stress conditions, respectively. It remains unclear how YoeB-YefM regulates its transcription depending on the YoeB to YefM TA ratio. We find that…
