Rieske Iron–Sulfur Cluster Proteins From an Anaerobic Ammonium Oxidizer Suggest Unusual Energetics in Their Parent Rieske/Cytochrome b Complexes

open access: yesProteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Anaerobic ammonium‐oxidizing (anammox) bacteria employ a unique, hydrazine‐based pathway to obtain energy from nitrite and ammonium. These organisms possess distinct Rieske/cytochrome b complexes whose precise role in anammox metabolism remains unclear, but which have been proposed to include the generation of NAD(P)H.

Analysis of acid-stressed Bacillus cereus reveals a major oxidative response and inactivation-associated radical formation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Acid stress resistance of the food-borne human pathogen Bacillus cereus may contribute to its survival in acidic environments, such as encountered in soil, food and the human gastrointestinal tract. The acid stress responses of B.

Distribution and activity of nitrate and nitrite reductases in the microbiota of the human intestinal tract

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Nitrate from food is first converted to nitrite by oral bacteria and then further processed in the intestine. The gut microbiota reduces nitrate and nitrite to ammonia or nitric oxide, preventing the formation of carcinogenic nitrosamines. Our analysis highlights Escherichia coli as a key player in this detoxification process, supported by other ...

E. coli and gut health—For the loser now will be later to win

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
In humans, commensal gut bacteria participate in a miniature nitrogen cycle, metabolizing dietary nitrate and nitrite. While these processes can generate harmful N‐nitrosamines, they may also produce beneficial nitric oxide (NO) or ammonium. Hager and colleagues demonstrate that E.

Enhancing tomato regeneration and genetic transformation efficiencies via exogenous chemical treatment and the GRF5 gene modulation

open access: yesJournal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Supplementation of Driver and Kuniyuki Walnut Medium with phloroglucinol enhanced regeneration efficiency in tomato tissue culture. Heterologous expression of an Arabidopsis growth‐regulating factor gene, GROWTH‐REGULATING FACTOR5 (GRF5), in tomato improved regeneration and transformation efficiency, suggesting a synergistic effect between ...

Modeling the effect of copper availability on bacterial denitrification [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
When denitrifying bacteria such as Paracoccus denitrificans respire anaerobically they convert nitrate to dinitrogen gas via a pathway which includes the potent greenhouse gas, nitrous oxide (NO). The copper-dependent enzyme Nitrous Oxide reductase (Nos)
