The Influence of Diet on the Composition and Function of Gut Microbiota in Four Snake Species
The results of this study provide comprehensive data to differentiate the gut microbiota composition structures among four snake species with distinct dietary preferences, explore their potential functions, and identify possible correlations between gut microbial composition and diet.

Abstract Ribonuclease E (RNase E) is central to bacterial RNA metabolism. In cyanobacteria, its activity is inhibited by RebA, a key mechanism for controlling cell morphology. Here, we demonstrate that rebA is essential for diazotrophic growth of Anabaena PCC 7120, a filamentous cyanobacterium capable of forming heterocysts—specialized nitrogen‐fixing ...

Abstract ClpXP and other AAA+ proteases play central roles in bacterial proteostasis by degrading misfolded and regulatory proteins. In Pseudomonas aeruginosa, ClpXP consists of the ClpX unfoldase and ClpP peptidase, which influence critical adaptive processes contributing to stress resistance. P.

Chlamydia trachomatis’ struggle to keep its host alive
Bacteria of the phylum Chlamydiae infect a diverse range of eukaryotic host species, including vertebrate animals, invertebrates, and even protozoa. Characteristics shared by all Chlamydiae include their obligate intracellular lifestyle and a biphasic ...

ABSTRACT The vertebrate gut houses diverse microbial communities that provide insights into their host's ecological and evolutionary histories. Nevertheless, microbiome research has not been distributed equally across host taxonomy, geography and timescales. The millions of fluid‐preserved specimens stored in natural history museums worldwide represent

ABSTRACT Plastic films have accumulated in soil ecosystems over decades of agricultural activities. These films potentially disrupt the soil structure, hinder nutrient cycling, and deteriorate soil quality. However, there is still a substantial knowledge gap in understanding how real‐world waste polyethylene films (WPEFs), with varied shapes and sizes,
