Regulation of Pseudomonas putida genes involved in the metabolism of acidic amino acids [PDF]
Pseudomonas putida KT2440 has the ability to utilize a wide range of amino acids as carbon and nitrogen sources. Rapid growth of this organism is supported by the acidic amino acids (Asp and Glu) and their amides (Asn and Gln) when supplied as sole ...

Activation of the NRF2 antioxidant program generates an imbalance in central carbon metabolism in cancer [PDF]
During tumorigenesis, the high metabolic demand of cancer cells results in increased production of reactive oxygen species. To maintain oxidative homeostasis, tumor cells increase their antioxidant production through hyperactivation of the NRF2 pathway ...

Co-Cultures of Oophila Amblystomatis Between Ambystoma Maculatum and Ambystoma Gracile Hosts Show Host-Symbiont Fidelity [PDF]
A unique symbiosis occurs between embryos of the spotted salamander (Ambystoma maculatum) and a green alga (Oophila amblystomatis). Unlike most vertebrate host-symbiont relationships, which are ectosymbiotic, A.
