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

Draft Genome Sequence for Desulfovibrio africanus Strain PCS. [PDF]
Desulfovibrio africanus strain PCS is an anaerobic sulfate-reducing bacterium (SRB) isolated from sediment from Paleta Creek, San Diego, CA. Strain PCS is capable of reducing metals such as Fe(III) and Cr(VI), has a cell cycle, and is predicted to ...

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.

Microbes display broad diversity in cobamide preferences
Cobamides, the vitamin B12 (cobalamin) family of cofactors, are used by most organisms but produced by only a fraction of prokaryotes, and are thus considered key shared nutrients among microbes.

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.

A Cytochrome c‐Containing Periplasmic Nitrate Reductase in the Acetogen Sporomusa ovata
Sporomusa ovata, a cytochrome‐containing, acetogenic bacterium, conserves energy by reduction of carbon dioxide to acetate. Nitrate serves as additional electron acceptor and is reduced to ammonium, resulting in increased growth and reduced acetate production.

Adaptation of the autotrophic acetogen Sporomusa ovata to methanol accelerates the conversion of CO2 to organic products [PDF]
Acetogens are efficient microbial catalysts for bioprocesses converting C1 compounds into organic products. Here, an adaptive laboratory evolution approach was implemented to adapt Sporomusa ovata for faster autotrophic metabolism and CO(2) conversion to

Navigating Transition Metal‐Dependent Cell Death: Mechanisms, Crosstalk, and Future Directions
Transition metals trigger distinct regulated cell death pathways beyond traditional apoptosis. This review examines ferroptosis (iron‐catalyzed lipid peroxidation) and cuproptosis (copper‐induced mitochondrial proteotoxicity), while exploring hypothetical “cobaltosis” as a novel pathway.
