An artificial selection procedure enriches for known and suspected chitin degraders from the prokaryotic rare biosphere of multiple marine biotopes

BMC Microbiology
Background Biological chitin degradation is a major process in the ocean, governed primarily by the action of microorganisms. It is known that the structure and taxonomic profile of chitin-degrading microbial communities change across marine biotopes ...

Selection of marine bacterial consortia efficient at degrading chitin leads to the discovery of new potential chitin degraders

Microbiology Spectrum
Chitin degradation is a keystone process in the oceans, mediated by marine microorganisms with the help of several enzymes, mostly chitinases. Sediment, seawater, and filter-feeding marine invertebrates, such as sponges, are known to harbor chitin ...

Partners or passengers? Revisiting the association between diatoms and aquatic animals

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Numerous studies have revealed the importance of research on the communities capable of colonizing animal surfaces (epibionts) and the animals on which they live (basibionts). Very few studies have considered epizoic diatoms, and there are gaps and biases in our knowledge, including the choice of basibionts, the methods used, and the habitats ...

Fungal Antimicrobial Resistance: Mechanisms, Drivers, and Global Clinical Burden

ChemFoodChem, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fungal antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a growing concern for world health caused by an increase in multidrug‐resistant infections, an increase in environmental reservoirs, and the ineffectiveness of current antifungal treatments. Fungal infections continue to be largely excluded from AMR initiatives while causing over 1.6 million deaths ...

LYM2 mediates chitin-induced plasmodesmal flux reduction in Populus x canescens

Frontiers in Plant Science
IntroductionLysin motif domain-containing glycosylphosphatidyl inositol-anchored protein 2 (LYM2) is a GPI-anchored LysM receptor-like protein (LysM-RLP) that harbors three extracellular LysM-domains and a GPI moiety at the C- terminus. In rice, the LYM2
