Receptor uptake arrays for vitamin B12, siderophores and glycans shape bacterial communities
Molecular variants of vitamin B12, siderophores and glycans occur. To take up variant forms, bacteria may express an array of receptors. The gut microbe Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron has three different receptors to take up variants of vitamin B12 and 88 ...

The Porphinoids - Versatile Biological Catalyst Molecules
The natural porphinoids, such as the iron complex heme, the magnesium complex chlorophyll a, the nickel complex coenzyme F430, and the (corrinoid) cobalt complex coenzyme B12 play central roles in all spheres of life, e.g.

Diverse reductive dehalogenases are associated with Clostridiales-enriched microcosms dechlorinating 1,2-dichloroethane [PDF]
The achievement of successful biostimulation of active microbiomes for the cleanup of a polluted site is strictly dependent on the knowledge of the key microorganisms equipped with the relevant catabolic genes responsible for the degradation process.

Exploration of isoxanthohumol bioconversion from spent hops into 8-prenylnaringenin using resting cells of Eubacterium limosum [PDF]
Hops is an almost unique source of the potent phytoestrogen 8-prenylnaringenin (8-PN). As hops contain only low levels of 8-PN, synthesis may be more attractive than extraction.

Haptocorrin (HC) is a circulating corrinoid binding protein with unclear function. In contrast to transcobalamin, the other transport protein in blood, HC is heavily glycosylated and binds a variety of cobalamin (Cbl) analogues. HC is present not only in

Influence of corrinoid antagonists on methanogen metabolism [PDF]
Iodopropane inhibited cell growth and methane production when Methanobacterium thermoautotrophicum, Methanobacterium formicicum, and Methanosarcina barkeri were cultured on H2-CO2. Iodopropane (40 microM) inhibited methanogenesis (30%) and growth (80%) when M. barkeri was cultured mixotrophically on H2-CO2-methanol.

Microbial degradation of dimethylsulphide and related C1-sulphur compounds: organisms and pathways controlling fluxes of sulphur in the biosphere [PDF]
Dimethylsulphide (DMS) plays a major role in the global sulphur cycle. It has important implications for atmospheric chemistry, climate regulation, and sulphur transport from the marine to the atmospheric and terrestrial environments.
