Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019 Climate change is causing arctic regions to warm disproportionally faster than those at lower latitudes, leading to alterations in carbon and nitrogen cycling, and potentially higher greenhouse gas emissions.

Electron cryo-microscopy reveals the structure of the archaeal thread filament
Nature Communications, 2022 Pili are filamentous appendages on the surface of bacteria and archaea, and play roles in multiple processes such as adhesion, motility and horizontal gene transfer. Here, Gaines et al. describe the structure of a new type of pilus, termed ‘thread’, from

At the core of the Archaea. [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1996 There are three kinds of taxonomists, according to Ernst Mayr (1). Pheneticists group species by overall phenotypic similarity, renouncing evolutionary theory and explanation. Cladists, conversely, concern themselves exclusively with genealogy. Phenotypic resemblance between two taxa (lizards and crocodiles as reptiles, for instance), counts for ...

A Unique THN Motif Is Critical for Enabling Efficient C‐Terminal Traceless Cleavage
Advanced Science, EarlyView.THN is identified as the key motif to facilitate the rapid traceless cleavage of gp41‐1. The deflection of THN motif not only avoids the interaction between C‐exteins and active sites, but also separates Asp107 away from Asn125. In addition, a flexible block F contributes to faster C‐cleavage.

mibPOPdb: An online database for microbial biodegradation of persistent organic pollutants
iMeta, Volume 1, Issue 4, December 2022., 2022 This study presents the Microbial Biodegradation of Persistent Organic Pollutants Database (mibPOPdb) database, a web‐accessible literature‐based microbial biodegradation of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) resource. We also developed a robust chemical biodegradability prediction model with Graph Neural Networks.

Length, Protein-Protein Interactions, and Complexity [PDF]
, 2004 The evolutionary reason for the increase in gene length from archaea to prokaryotes to eukaryotes observed in large scale genome sequencing efforts has been unclear. We propose here that the increasing complexity of protein-protein interactions has driven the selection of longer proteins, as longer proteins are more able to distinguish among a larger ...

Physical Model of the Immune Response of Bacteria Against Bacteriophage Through the Adaptive CRISPR-Cas Immune System [PDF]
Phys. Biol. 10 (2013) 025004, 2014 Bacteria and archaea have evolved an adaptive, heritable immune system that recognizes and protects against viruses or plasmids. This system, known as the CRISPR-Cas system, allows the host to recognize and incorporate short foreign DNA or RNA sequences, called `spacers' into its CRISPR system.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.This study proposes a two‐step biological strategy to synergistically enhance the three stages of anaerobic digestion, ultimately eliminating the extreme ammonia inhibition and breaking through the inefficiency bottleneck of conventional biotechnology.

Fungi stabilize multi‐kingdom community in a high elevation timberline ecosystem
iMeta, Volume 1, Issue 4, December 2022., 2022 Multi‐kingdom network construction increased network complexity. Multi‐kingdom network construction increased negative edge proportion. Fungi stabilized multi‐kingdom network structure. Fungi linked above‐ and below‐ground biota at the community level.
