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 ...

Impact of inoculum type on the microbial community and power performance of urine-fed microbial fuel cells [PDF]
, 2020 Bacteria are the driving force of the microbial fuel cell (MFC) technology, which benefits from their natural ability to degrade organic matter and generate electricity. The development of an efficient anodic biofilm has a significant impact on the power

The evolutionary ecology of model microbial communities [PDF]
, 2009 textThe biological world is complex. Communities contain a multitude of interacting species, while populations contain extensive genetic variation. How much complexity must one consider to understand patterns and processes of interest?

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 ...

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.

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 ...

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.
