Now Playing: Farnesol in the Biofilm
The evolutionary pathway of specialized metabolism often takes unexpected, perplexing turns. In this issue of Chemistry & Biology, Feng and coworkers provide evidence for a unique phosphatase whose enzymatic product plays a critical role in biofilm formation in Bacillus subtilis.

Farnesol-Detecting Olfactory Neurons inDrosophila [PDF]
We set out to deorphanize a subset of putativeDrosophilaodorant receptors expressed in trichoid sensilla using a transgenicin vivomisexpression approach. We identified farnesol as a potent and specific activator for the orphan odorant receptor Or83c. Farnesol is an intermediate in juvenile hormone biosynthesis, but is also produced by ripe citrus fruit

The role of nitrogen uptake on the competition ability of three vineyard Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains [PDF]
Three vineyard strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, P301.4, P304.4 and P254.12, were assayed in comparison with a commercial industrial strain, QA23. The aim was to understand if nitrogen availability could influence strain competition ability during ...
