Headwaters are critical reservoirs of microbial diversity for fluvial networks [PDF]

, 2013
Streams and rivers form conspicuous networks on the Earth and are among nature's most effective integrators. Their dendritic structure reaches into the terrestrial landscape and accumulates water and sediment en route from abundant headwater streams to a

Structural insights into lacto‐N‐biose I recognition by a family 32 carbohydrate‐binding module from Bifidobacterium bifidum

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Bifidobacterium bifidum establishes symbiosis with infants by metabolizing lacto‐N‐biose I (LNB) from human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs). The extracellular multidomain enzyme LnbB drives this process, releasing LNB via its catalytic glycoside hydrolase family 20 (GH20) lacto‐N‐biosidase domain.

Four novel Planctomicrobium species isolated from sewage sludge or leakage water of a compost heap in Northern Germany

Scientific Reports
Four non-pigmented, off-white to ivory strains, SH527T, SH661T, SH664T and SH668T, have been isolated from sewage sludge or leakage water of a compost heap in Northern Germany as part of an isolation campaign conducted by Heinz Schlesner, Kiel University

The urinary microbiota of men and women and its changes in women during bacterial vaginosis and antibiotic treatment

Microbiome, 2017
Background The urinary microbiota is similarly complex as the vaginal and penile microbiota, yet its role as a reservoir for pathogens and for recurrent polymicrobial biofilm diseases like bacterial vaginosis (BV) is not clear.

Interconnectivity of habitats in soil:combining X-ray micro tomography and thin sectioning to reveal fungal-soil structure interactions [PDF]

, 2009
The extreme heterogeneity and interconnectivity of the 3-dimensional pore space within soil makes it a unique habitat for the diverse microbial population and has a pivotal role in microbial interactions.

Recent advances in electron transfer between biofilms and metals [PDF]

, 2007
Microbial biofilms produce electrochemical interactions with metal surfaces by following a wide variety of different electron exchange pathways. Reviewing the mechanisms identified in the biocorrosion of steels leads us to distinguish direct and indirect

Disordered but rhythmic—the role of intrinsic protein disorder in eukaryotic circadian timing

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Unstructured domains known as intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) are present in nearly every part of the eukaryotic core circadian oscillator. IDRs enable many diverse inter‐ and intramolecular interactions that support clock function. IDR conformations are highly tunable by post‐translational modifications and environmental conditions, which ...

An untargeted cultivation approach revealed Pseudogemmatithrix spongiicola gen. nov., sp. nov., and sheds light on the gemmatimonadotal mode of cell division: binary fission

Scientific Reports
Members of the phylum Gemmatimonadota can account for up to 10% of the phylogenetic diversity in bacterial communities. However, a detailed investigation of their cell biology and ecological roles is restricted by currently only six characterized species.

“Candidatus Uabimicrobium helgolandensis”—a planctomycetal bacterium with phagocytosis-like prey cell engulfment, surface-dependent motility, and cell division

mBio
The unique cell biology presented by members of the phylum Planctomycetota has puzzled researchers ever since their discovery. Initially thought to have eukaryotic-like features, their traits are now recognized as exceptional but distinctly bacterial ...

Molecular profiling of tissue biopsies reveals unique signatures associated with streptococcal necrotizing soft tissue infections

Nature Communications, 2019
Necrotizing soft tissue infections (NSTIs) are caused by a single pathogen such as Streptococcus pyogenes or by multiple bacterial species. Here, the authors integrate microbial community profiling with host and pathogen transcriptional analysis in ...
