Formate Utilization by the Crenarchaeon Desulfurococcus amylolyticus

Microorganisms, 2020
Formate is one of the key compounds of the microbial carbon and/or energy metabolism. It owes a significant contribution to various anaerobic syntrophic associations, and may become one of the energy storage compounds of modern energy biotechnology ...

Eukaryogenesis From FECA to LECA: Radical Steps Along the Way

BioEssays, EarlyView.
How did the last eukaryotic common ancestor (LECA) population evolve? Recent evidence shows an Asgard archaeon‐like organism acquiring a bacterium, the future mitochondrion, going from symbiosis to endosymbiosis. I postulate that almost all salient LECA characteristics could have resulted from the ensuing enhanced ATP generation and internal reactive ...

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 ...

Hydrogen‐Deuterium Exchange Defines Ligand‐Induced Conformational Changes to the Class III Biotin Protein Ligase from Saccharomyces cerevisiae

ChemBioChem, EarlyView.
Hydrogen‐deuterium exchange mass spectrometry validated AlphaFold structural prediction of the class III biotin protein ligase (BPL) from Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and revealed a structured domain in the N‐terminal extension characteristic to this class of BPL.

Diel Patterns in the Composition and Activity of Planktonic Microbes in a Subtropical Bay

Ocean-Land-Atmosphere Research
Planktonic microbes play a crucial role in the matter transformation and energy transfer of marine ecosystems. Marine microbial communities are profoundly influenced by various environmental factors, and their variations are typically investigated in a ...

Structural and Spectroscopic Insights into Catalytic Intermediates of a [NiFe]‐hydrogenase from Group 3

ChemBioChem, EarlyView.
Hydrogenases catalyze reversible H2 production and are potential models for renewable energy catalysts. Here, the full redox landscape of a group 3 [NiFe]‐hydrogenase from methanothermococcus thermolithotrophicus is elucidated, resembling group 1 enzymes.

Cobalamin‐Dependent Aryl Methyl Ether O‐Demethylases: Promising Enzymes for Biocatalytic Applications from Lignin Valorization to Organic Synthesis

ChemCatChem, EarlyView.
Cobalamin‐dependent aryl methyl ether O‐demethylases have high potential for biocatalytic applications, including lignin valorization and synthetic chemistry. In this review, we provide a detailed overview of such O‐demethylase systems identified to date from various microorganisms, including their mechanism, substrate scope and selectivity, and ...

Integrated and closed‐loop biorefinery strategies for efficient waste valorization and biofuel production

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract Advancements in biofuel production technologies are essential for reducing global dependence on fossil fuels and addressing their overexploitation. Many valuable components of biomass, such as cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin, remain underused in traditional biorefineries, which typically rely on a single feedstock to produce a primary ...
