Evolution and the microbial control of insects [PDF]
Evolutionary Applications, 2012 AbstractInsect pathogens can be utilized in a variety of pest management approaches, from inundative release to augmentation and classical biological control, and microevolution and the consideration of evolutionary principles can potentially influence the success of all these strategies.

On the origin and evolution of microbial mercury methylation
Genome Biology and Evolution, 2022 Abstract The origin of microbial mercury methylation has long been a mystery. Here we employed genome-resolved phylogenetic analyses to decipher the evolution of the mercury methylating gene, hgcAB , constrain the ancestral origin of the hgc ...

Migration distance affects how closely Eurasian wigeons follow spring phenology during migration
Movement Ecology, 2021 Background The timing of migration for herbivorous migratory birds is thought to coincide with spring phenology as emerging vegetation supplies them with the resources to fuel migration, and, in species with a capital breeding strategy also provides ...

Exceptional longevity in northern peripheral populations of Wels catfish (Siluris glanis)
Scientific Reports, 2022 Studies of life-history variation across a species range are crucial for ecological understanding and successful conservation. Here, we examined the growth and age of Wels catfish (Silurus glanis) in Sweden, which represent the northernmost populations ...

Microsatellites in Pursuit of Microbial Genome Evolution [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016 Microsatellites or short sequence repeats are widespread genetic markers which are hypermutable 1-6 bp long short nucleotide motifs. Significantly, their applications in genetics are extensive due to their ceaseless mutational degree, widespread length variations and hypermutability skills.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.We reconstituted Synechocystis glycogen synthesis in vitro from purified enzymes and showed that two GlgA isoenzymes produce glycogen with different architectures: GlgA1 yields denser, highly branched glycogen, whereas GlgA2 synthesizes longer, less‐branched chains.

Structural insights into an engineered feruloyl esterase with improved MHET degrading properties
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.A feruloyl esterase was engineered to mimic key features of MHETase, enhancing the degradation of PET oligomers. Structural and computational analysis reveal how a point mutation stabilizes the active site and reshapes the binding cleft, expading substrate scope.
