Bacterial Geosmin Biosynthesis is Compartmentalized Inside a Two‐Component Protein Shell
Advanced Science, EarlyView.This study reports the discovery that geosmin biosynthesis is compartmentalized inside a two‐component protein shell in many bacteria. Sequestration of geosmin synthase inside a Family 2B encapsulin nanocompartment improves geosmin yield and increases enzyme stability as compared to the free enzyme.

MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry of Cyanobacteria: a global approach to the discovery of novel secondary metabolites [PDF]
, 2008 Cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) are a group of ancient prokaryotic organisms dating back between three and four billion years.¹ They have been attributed with oxygenating the earth’s atmosphere² but, since the anthropogenic euthrophication of lakes ...

Living Electronics: Microbial Metabolism as Batteries, Resistors, and Capacitors
Advanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.Three microorganisms are assigned the three elementary roles of a circuit on one sheet of paper. Dormant Bacillus subtilis spores germinate to switch the power source on; a photosynthetic Synechocystis biofilm sets resistance by the color and intensity of light; and a respiring Shewanella oneidensis biofilm stores charge. Together they form a printable

Symbiotic cyanobacteria in lichens [PDF]
, 2016 Cyanolichens are obligate symbioses between fungi and cyanobacteria. They occur in many types of environments ranging from Arctic tundra and semi-deserts to tropical rainforests. Possibly even a majority of their global species diversity has not yet been

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, EarlyView.This study demonstrates a novel hybrid system that integrates electrochemical CO2 reduction with microbial biosynthesis in a single reactor, using a synthetic autotrophic yeast to produce itaconic acid from CO2. Using an industrial yeast provides feasibility of direct electromicrobial CO2 conversion to bio‐based building blocks while identifying key ...

Faster growth of the major prokaryotic versus eukaryotic CO2 fixers in the oligotrphic ocean [PDF]
, 2014 Because maintenance of non-scalable cellular components—membranes and chromosomes—requires an increasing fraction of energy as cell size decreases, miniaturization comes at a considerable energetic cost for a phytoplanktonic cell.
