The role of the essential GTPase ObgE in regulating lipopolysaccharide synthesis in Escherichia coli
Nature CommunicationsDuring growth, cells need to synthesize and expand their envelope, a process that requires careful regulation. Here, we show that the GTPase ObgE of E.

Membrane depolarization-triggered responsive diversification leads to antibiotic tolerance
Microbial Cell, 2015 Bacterial populations are known to harbor a small fraction of so-called persister cells that have the remarkable ability to survive treatment with very high doses of antibiotics.

Tumour–host interactions in Drosophila: mechanisms in the tumour micro‐ and macroenvironment
Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.This review examines how tumour–host crosstalk takes place at multiple levels of biological organisation, from local cell competition and immune crosstalk to organism‐wide metabolic and physiological collapse. Here, we integrate findings from Drosophila melanogaster studies that reveal conserved mechanisms through which tumours hijack host systems to ...

Competition quenching strategies reduce antibiotic tolerance in polymicrobial biofilms
npj Biofilms and MicrobiomesBacteria typically live in dense communities where they are surrounded by other species and compete for a limited amount of resources. These competitive interactions can induce defensive responses that also protect against antimicrobials, potentially ...

Advances in Plant-Nematode Interactions with Emphasis on the Notorious Nematode Genus Meloidogyne. [PDF]
, 2019 Plant infections by plant-parasitic nematodes (PPNs) continue to be one of the major limitations in agricultural systems. Root-knot nematodes (RKNs), belonging to the genus Meloidogyne, are one of the most important groups of PPNs worldwide.

Sphagnum physiology in the context of changing climate: emergent influences of genomics, modelling and host-microbiome interactions on understanding ecosystem function. [PDF]
, 2014 Peatlands harbour more than one-third of terrestrial carbon leading to the argument that the bryophytes, as major components of peatland ecosystems, store more organic carbon in soils than any other collective plant taxa. Plants of the genus Sphagnum are

Host genetic regulation of human gut microbial structural variation
NatureAlthough the impact of host genetics on gut microbial diversity and the abundance of specific taxa is well established1–6, little is known about how host genetics regulates the genetic diversity of gut microorganisms. Here we conducted a meta-analysis of
