Intercellular Nanotubes Mediate Bacterial Communication [PDF]

Cell, 2011
Bacteria are known to communicate primarily via secreted extracellular factors. Here we identify a previously uncharacterized type of bacterial communication mediated by nanotubes that bridge neighboring cells. Using Bacillus subtilis as a model organism, we visualized transfer of cytoplasmic fluorescent molecules between adjacent cells.

Protein pyrophosphorylation by inositol pyrophosphates — detection, function, and regulation

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Protein pyrophosphorylation is an unusual signaling mechanism that was discovered two decades ago. It can be driven by inositol pyrophosphate messengers and influences various cellular processes. Herein, we summarize the research progress and challenges of this field, covering pathways found to be regulated by this posttranslational modification as ...

Effects of short-term nitrogen and phosphorus addition on soil bacterial community of different halophytes

mSphere
Soil microbial community composition and diversity are often affected by nutrient enrichment, which may influence soil microbes to affect nutrient cycling and plant community structure.

Bacterial diversity in primary infected root canals of a Chinese cohort: analysis of 16 S rDNA sequencing

BMC Oral Health, 2023
Purpose To characterize the bacterial community in the primarily infected root canals. Methods A total of 13 samples were collected from the primarily infected root canals. 16 S rDNA sequencing was performed to define bacterial community.

Signal Percolation within a Bacterial Community [PDF]

Cell Systems, 2018
Signal transmission among cells enables long-range coordination in biological systems. However, the scarcity of quantitative measurements hinders the development of theories that relate signal propagation to cellular heterogeneity and spatial organization.

Gut microbiome and aging—A dynamic interplay of microbes, metabolites, and the immune system

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Age‐dependent shifts in microbial communities engender shifts in microbial metabolite profiles. These in turn drive shifts in barrier surface permeability of the gut and brain and induce immune activation. When paired with preexisting age‐related chronic inflammation this increases the risk of neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases.

The human gut microbiome across the life course

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Despite significant individual variation and continuous change throughout life, the human gut microbiome follows some life stage‐specific trends. This article provides a brief overview of how gut microbiome composition shifts across different phases of life. Created in BioRender. Özkurt, E. (2026) https://BioRender.com/8q4nrnc.

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.

Effects of nitrogen and phosphorus imbalance input on rhizosphere and bulk soil bacterial community of Suaeda salsa in the Yellow River Delta

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023
IntroductionThe effects of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) addition on soil microbial diversity have been widely studied, however, the response of bacterial community to N and P imbalance input remains unclear.MethodsUsing a high-throughput Illumina ...
