tRNA signatures reveal polyphyletic origins of streamlined SAR11 genomes among the alphaproteobacteria [PDF]
Phylogenomic analyses are subject to bias from compositional convergence and noise from horizontal gene transfer (HGT). Compositional convergence is a likely cause of controversy regarding phylogeny of the SAR11 group of Alphaproteobacteria that have ...

Effect of bacterial inoculation, plant genotype and developmental stage on root-associated and endophytic bacterial communities in potato (Solanum tuberosum) [PDF]
Beneficial bacteria interact with plants by colonizing the rhizosphere and roots followed by further spread through the inner tissues, resulting in endophytic colonization.

Lanthanide affinity and selectivity in proteins remain poorly understood. Engineering calmodulin with a lanthanide‐binding tag at Site 1 boosts affinity from nanomolar (isolated LBTs) to picomolar dissociation constants, comparable to lanmodulin but with distinct selectivity.

Nitrogen fixing legumes and their partners in Brazil : from the lab to the field, from the forest to the mine tailing [PDF]
Leguminosae, the third largest family of angiosperms, are of major agricultural, ecological and economic importance. Several recent studies allowed to clarify the taxonomic and phylogenetic relationships among the 19,400 species that constitute this ...

The Outer Membrane of Methylobacterium organophilum [PDF]
SUMMARY: Inner and outer membranes were isolated from Methylobacterium organophilum by sucrose density centrifugation after disruption of bacteria by shaking with glass beads. The outer membrane (OM) contained all the pink oxocarotenoid pigment of the cell and unusually small amounts of phospholipid and lipopolysaccharide.

An electrochemical system is designed to convert CO2 into CO2‐derived electrolytes (CDE), mainly containing acetate and formate. The underlying mechanism of acetate metabolism in Halomonas TD80 is explored via ALE. Engineered TD80 produced high‐yield diversified products from CDE.

Laboratory divergence of Methylobacterium extorquens AM1 through unintended domestication and past selection for antibiotic resistance [PDF]
Background: A common assumption of microorganisms is that laboratory stocks will remain genetically and phenotypically constant over time, and across laboratories.

The synthesis and the investigation of the lanthanide (Ln) and Fe‐binding properties of the putative lanthanophore methylolanthanin (MLL) and the siderophore rhodopetrobactin B (RPB B) are reported. While both chelators bind Lns, they unexpectedly precipitate with Lns under biologically relevant conditions and thereby challenge the proposed classic ...

Permanent draft genome sequence of Frankia sp. NRRL B-16219 reveals the presence of canonical nod genes, which are highly homologous to those detected in Candidatus Frankia Dg1 genome [PDF]
Frankia sp. NRRL B-16219 was directly isolated from a soil sample obtained from the rhizosphere of Ceanothus jepsonii growing in the USA. Its host plant range includes members of Elaeagnaceae species.

Correlated production and consumption of chloromethane in the Arabidopsis thaliana phyllosphere [PDF]
Chloromethane (CH3Cl) is a toxic gas mainly produced naturally, in particular by plants, and its emissions contribute to ozone destruction in the stratosphere. Conversely, CH3Cl can be degraded and used as the sole carbon and energy source by specialised
