Salmonella lipopolysaccharide‐containing supported lipid bilayers as platforms to study bacteriophage interactions

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We present robust protocols for the preparation of supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) incorporating either Salmonella smooth LPS or outer membrane vesicles (OMVs). We use a combination of quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM‐D) and fluorescence microscopy to both characterize the SLBs of various compositions and to probe their interactions ...

How animals shape plant evolution: an ecological and evolutionary synthesis

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution
This review synthesizes current knowledge on how animals shape plant evolution through a complex network of mutualistic and antagonistic interactions operating across ecological and evolutionary timescales.

Too Many Is Too Bad: Long-Term Net Negative Effects of High Density Ungulate Populations on a Dominant Mediterranean Shrub. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
Plant-animal interactions imply costs and benefits with net balance depending on interacting species and ecological context. Ungulates, in particular, confer costs (e.g., plant leaf consumption, flower bud predation) and benefits (e.g., plant ...

Animal-Plant Interaction, Volume 4

We quote a statement from Einstein about bees “If the bees disappeared off the surface of the globe, then man would have only 4 years of life left; no more bees, no more pollination, no more plants, no more animals, no more man”, but we never think about the basic interactions between plant and animals.

Microbiome−host proteostasis crosstalk—An emerging perspective on mechanisms and interventions toward healthy longevity

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Proteostasis and the gut microbiota play a key role in shaping host physiology. Microbiota‐derived metabolites, vitamins, and RNA modulate host proteostasis. Findings from model systems, including C. elegans, indicate microbes can either stabilize or disrupt host proteostasis.

From mice to humans—divergent strategies for intestinal homeostasis and regeneration

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Recent advances such as organoid genome editing, xenotransplantation, imaging, and whole‐genome sequencing have enabled direct studies of human intestinal stem cells (ISCs). These studies reveal species‐specific features, including slower ISC proliferation, distinct injury responses, slower somatic mutation accumulation in humans, and an inverse ...

Complementarity in both plant and mycorrhizal fungal communities are not necessarily increased by diversity in the other [PDF]

, 2015
1.Higher species diversity can improve community performance within a species guild when different species complement each other in their use of the available niche, such as through resource partitioning.

Plant species with the trait of continuous flowering do not hold core roles in a Neotropical lowland plant‐pollinating insect network

Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Plant–animal interaction science repeatedly finds that plant species differ by orders of magnitude in the number of interactions they support. The identification of plant species that play key structural roles in plant–animal networks is a global ...

Structural insights and therapeutic targets in Acinetobacter baumannii capsule biosynthesis

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Hypervirulent KL49 A. baumannii's capsular polysaccharide contains the nonulosonic acid 8‐epi‐Leg5,7Ac2, synthesized by epimerization via ElaA, ElaB, and ElaC. Crystal structures of ElaA, ElaB, and ElaC reveal their role in CMP‐Leg5,7Ac2 synthesis and regioselective C8 epimerization.

Rhizosheath Research at the Root–Soil–Microbiome Interface: A Bibliometric and Thematic Analysis of Stress Adaptation and Crop Resilience

Agriculture
The rhizosheath is a dynamic plant–soil interface in which root traits, microbial activity, and soil physical properties jointly regulate plant adaptation to drought and nutrient limitation.
