Enhancing Meat Quality Through Dietary Fiber: Insights Into the Gut Microbiota‐Derived Short‐Chain Fatty Acids‐Muscle Axis

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Dietary fiber (DF) modulates meat quality through the gut‐muscle axis by reshaping gut microbiota, improving intestinal integrity, reducing inflammation, and regulating muscle metabolism. These mechanisms influence muscle fiber characteristics and post‐mortem biochemistry, thereby enhancing tenderness, juiciness, color, flavor, and nutritional value of

Proteomic Characterization of Cellular and Molecular Processes that Enable the Nanoarchaeum equitans-Ignicoccus hospitalis Relationship [PDF]

, 2011
Nanoarchaeum equitans, the only cultured representative of the Nanoarchaeota, is dependent on direct physical contact with its host, the hyperthermophile Ignicoccus hospitalis. The molecular mechanisms that enable this relationship are unknown.

An Lrs14 family protein functions as a nucleoid-associated protein regulating cell cycle progression in Sulfolobales

Communications Biology
Archaea of the order Sulfolobales possess eukaryotic-like cell cycle. The chromatin organization in these archaea is supposed to rely on nucleoid-associated proteins (NAPs).

S-layer architecture and glycosylation and their role in shaping virus–host specificity in prokaryotes

Frontiers in Microbiology
The crystalline surface layer (S-layer) of prokaryotes constitutes a critical macromolecular interface governing virus–host interactions. In this review, we synthesize recent findings regarding the role of S-layer glycoproteins as viral receptors ...

Improving the learning experience in an undergraduate course on microbial metabolism by using an illustrated story

Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, Volume 53, Issue 2, Page 131-141, March/April 2025.
Abstract In the classroom, metabolism is often approached and received as a mundane exercise in memorization. Teaching metabolism also faces the challenge of negative perceptions that can impede learning. We sought to improve the learning experience in an undergraduate lecture course on microbial metabolism by implementing an illustrated story that ...

Carrion ecology: concepts, interdisciplinary synthesis, and perspectives

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Carrion is a ubiquitous resource in both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, yet it has long been overlooked in ecological research. Over the past two decades, studies on carrion and the many organisms that exploit it have flourished, revealing not only wide‐ranging ecological functions but also significance far beyond ecology.

Flagellar Motility and Structure in the Hyperthermoacidophilic Archaeon Sulfolobus solfataricus [PDF]

, 2007
Flagellation in archaea is widespread and is involved in swimming motility. Here, we demonstrate that the structural flagellin gene from the crenarchaeaon Sulfolobus solfataricus is highly expressed in stationary-phase-grown cells and under unfavorable ...

Identification of XylR, the Activator of Arabinose/Xylose Inducible Regulon in Sulfolobus acidocaldarius and Its Application for Homologous Protein Expression

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020
The thermophilic archaeon Sulfolobus acidocaldarius can use different carbon sources for growth, including the pentoses D-xylose and L-arabinose. In this study, we identified the activator XylR (saci_2116) responsible for the transcriptional regulation ...

The Role of Iron‐Hyponitrite Intermediates in Biology and Insights From Synthetic Model Complexes

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
Despite the difference in active site architecture, NO reduction by different NOR enzymes is expected to be linked by a common intermediate: hyponitrite (N2O22−). However, experimentally, very little is known about the coordination chemistry of iron with hyponitrite and the expected Fe‐hyponitrite intermediates.

Quantitative analysis of amino acid excretion and consumption by Methanothermobacter marburgensis in fed-batch cultivation mode

Amino Acids
The methanogenic archaeon Methanothermobacter marburgensis offers a promising alternative to traditional bacterial systems for the sustainable production of proteinogenic amino acids (AAs), eliminating the need for sugar-based feedstock.
