SspABCD-SspFGH Constitutes a New Type of DNA Phosphorothioate-Based Bacterial Defense System
mBio, 2021 We recently found that SspABCD, catalyzing single-stranded (ss) DNA phosphorothioate (PT) modification, coupled with SspE provides protection against phage infection.

The biosynthesis of pyoverdines [PDF]
Microbial Cell, 2018 Pyoverdines are fluorescent siderophores of pseudomonads that play important roles for growth under iron-limiting conditions. The production of pyoverdines by fluorescent pseudomonads permits their colonization of hosts ranging from humans to plants.

The biosynthesis of glucosamine [PDF]
Biochimica et Biophysica Acta, 1953 Abstract A partially purified enzyme has been prepared from Neurospora crassa which catalyzes the formation of glucosamine phosphate from hexose-6-phosphate and glutamine. The glucosamine phosphate was identified by colour reactions, by dephosphorylation and paper chromatography and by its behaviour towards an acetylating system.

Repressors of anthocyanin biosynthesis.
New Phytologist, 2021 Anthocyanins play a variety of adaptive roles in both vegetative tissues and reproductive organs of plants. The broad functionality of these compounds requires sophisticated regulation of the anthocyanin biosynthesis pathway to allow proper localization,

Effects of cadmium stress on seed germination and physiological-biochemical characteristics in okra: a comparative study of red and green varieties [PDF]
PeerJPrevious study has demonstrated that okra (Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) Moench) is capable of accumulating cadmium (Cd) in both plants and fruits. However, there is still little known about the physiological responses of different okra cultivars to Cd ...
