Effects of Continuous Sugar Beet Cropping on Rhizospheric Microbial Communities

, 2019
The continuous cropping of sugar beet can result in soil degradation and a decrease in the sugar beet yield and quality. However, the role of continuous sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L. var. saccharifera) cropping in shaping the structure and function of the

Gut microbiota alterations in patients with non‐small‐cell lung cancer undergoing chemoradiotherapy

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
We investigated the impact of concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CRT) on the gut microbiota in patients with locally advanced non‐small‐cell lung cancer. Overall gut microbiota composition remained largely stable throughout CRT while antibiotic exposure may influence microbial diversity.

Integrative metabolomic and transcriptomic analyses reveal key mechanisms of lignan biosynthesis during sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) seed development

BMC Plant Biology
Sesame (Sesamum indicum) is a major oilseed crop known for its substantial amount of natural antioxidants. Lignan is believed to be the primary attribute for the antioxidant properties of sesame. However, information related to lignans in sesame oils are

The TOR Regulatory Mechanism Controls the Metabolism of Nitrate and the Fermentation Activity in the Yeast Dekkera bruxellensis GDB 248

Microbiology Research
Dekkera bruxellensis is already known for its great biotechnological potential, part of this due to the ability to assimilate nitrate during fermentation.

Exploring the influence of lactoferrin on wound healing and related signaling pathways: a systematic review

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Lactoferrin promotes wound healing by activating MAPK, PI3K/Akt, and extracellular matrix pathways, enhancing fibroblast remodeling, proliferation, and re‐epithelialization. These mechanisms highlight its therapeutic potential in inflammation control, tissue repair, and remodeling.

The role of the essential GTPase ObgE in regulating lipopolysaccharide synthesis in Escherichia coli

Nature Communications
During growth, cells need to synthesize and expand their envelope, a process that requires careful regulation. Here, we show that the GTPase ObgE of E.

Genetic basis of microbial carotenogenesis

International Microbiology, 2003
The synthesis of carotenoids begins with the formation of a phytoene from geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate, a well conserved step in all carotenogenic organisms and catalyzed by a phytoene synthase, an enzyme encoded by the crtB ( spy) genes. The next step is the dehydrogenation of the phytoene, which is carried out by phytoene dehydrogenase.

Avidin is evolutionarily conserved in fish but dispensable for development and resistance against Streptococcus agalactiae in zebrafish

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
The presence of biotin‐binding avidin proteins in fish and their biological significance are poorly characterized. We cataloged fish avidins and demonstrate that they are widely present and evolutionarily conserved. We created avd knockout zebrafish and show that zebavidin is dispensable for development and that resistance of avd knockout embryos in ...

Competition quenching strategies reduce antibiotic tolerance in polymicrobial biofilms

npj Biofilms and Microbiomes
Bacteria 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 ...
