Biochemical and structural characterization of a tail‐spike protein with depolymerase activity identified in a marine podovirus

Acta Crystallographica Section D, EarlyView.
The marine tail‐spike protein Dpo31 degrades the exopolysaccharide of its host and has structural features similar to those of other members of this protein class, despite similarity not being detected at the sequence level.Marine phages are, through the infection of their bacterial hosts, key regulators of microbiome and carbon fluxes in the ocean ...

Degradable versus inert microplastics: Effects on soil organic carbon persistence via microbial drivers in an agroecosystem

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Microplastics (MPs) are widespread in terrestrial ecosystems, raising global concerns that they may disrupt soil organic carbon (SOC) cycling and undermine agroecosystem contributions to climate mitigation.

Cyanobacterial exopolysaccharides

Semina: Ciências Exatas e Tecnológicas, 2004
Exopolysaccharides (EPS) are characterized as secondary metabolites being produced predominantly during the stationary growth phase of the microorganism. The capacity of cyanobacteria to produce extracellular polysaccharides has been related since the beginning of the 1950s.

To Move or Not to Move: When and How Bacteria Suppress Flagellar Motility

Molecular Microbiology, EarlyView.
Motility cessation in bacteria is a key regulatory strategy that provides multiple survival advantages including enhanced community cooperation, niche adaptation and evasion of host immune responses. This process is controlled by associated mechanisms such as post‐translational modifications and second messenger signalling that stabilise non‐motile ...

Synthesis and application of bacterial exopolysaccharides

Current Opinion in Chemical Biology
Exopolysaccharides are produced and excreted by bacteria in the generation of biofilms to provide a protective environment. These polysaccharides are generally generated as heterogeneous polymers of varying length, featuring diverse substitution patterns.
