Carbon–Phosphorus Limitation Is Associated With Shifts in Microbial Life‐History Strategies Across Vegetation Restoration Modes in Alpine Sandy Land on the Tibetan Plateau

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Alpine sandy land on the Tibetan Plateau is fragile, with poorly developed soils, low nutrient availability, and weak biological resilience. Vegetation restoration is widely used to improve soil functioning, yet how microbial nutrient limitation and life‐history strategies vary among restoration modes remains unclear.

Analysis of sodium dodecyl sulfate-stable cell wall aminopeptidases in strains of viridans streptococci

open access: yes, 1996
Cell wall extracts from nine strains of viridans streptococci representing five species were analyzed for aminopeptidases. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in combination with zymogram procedures revealed a common pattern of ...

Optimized Fertilization Balances Microbial Carbon and Nitrogen Use Efficiency: Evidence From Microbial Communities

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Optimized fertilization involving reduced mineral N input and organic substitution can alter resource stoichiometry, microbial carbon use efficiency (CUE) and nitrogen use efficiency (NUE). However, how fertilization‐induced resource imbalance reshapes microbial community to regulate CUE and NUE remains unclear. We conducted a field experiment

Biochar‐Induced Shifts in Resource Stoichiometry Shape Potential Nitrogen Limitation and Estimated Microbial Carbon Use Efficiency in Tropical Soils

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biochar is widely recognized as a promising amendment for enhancing soil carbon sequestration and microbial functioning, yet how biochar properties and application levels jointly influence potential microbial nutrient limitation and estimated microbial carbon use efficiency (CUE) remains unclear, especially in tropical farmland soils.

Plasmepsins as Antimalarial Drug Targets—Then, Now, and the Future

open access: yesMedicinal Research Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Malaria is a devastating disease caused by Plasmodium parasites. Plasmodium parasites express ten cathepsin D‐like aspartyl proteases, called plasmepsins (PMs). These PMs have diverse roles fulfill diverse functions throughout the parasite's lifecycle, though several exhibit functional redundancies. Among them, PMV, PMIV, and PMX are essential

Potential Activities of Freshwater Exo- and Endo-Acting Extracellular Peptidases in East Tennessee and the Pocono Mountains

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2018
Proteins constitute a particularly bioavailable subset of organic carbon and nitrogen in aquatic environments but must be hydrolyzed by extracellular enzymes prior to being metabolized by microorganisms.

Goose herbivory alters soil microbial community functional potential in a sub‐Arctic wetland

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Herbivory alters below‐ground resource dynamics via direct and indirect mechanisms, yet its effects on microbial functional potential remain poorly understood. This limits our understanding of the mechanisms that link animal, plant and microbial functional roles in ...

The nitty‐gritty of vascular permeability in cancer: targeting blood endothelium to control metastases

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Blood vascular permeability is a hallmark of cancer and acts as an active driver of metastatic dissemination. Metastasis accounts for the vast majority of cancer deaths, yet most work has focussed on tumour‐intrinsic traits and angiogenesis, while the specific contribution of endothelial barrier regulation to intravasation and extravasation remains ...

Purification and functional characterisation of rhiminopeptidase A, a novel aminopeptidase from the venom of Bitis gabonica rhinoceros.

open access: yesPLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2010
BackgroundSnake bite is a major neglected public health issue within poor communities living in the rural areas of several countries throughout the world. An estimated 2.5 million people are bitten by snakes each year and the cost and lack of efficacy of
