Structural and functional analysis of the solute-binding protein UspC from Mycobacterium tuberculosis that is specific for amino sugars [PDF]
Open Biology, 2016 Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), the aetiological agent of tuberculosis, has evolved to scavenge nutrients from the confined environment of host macrophages with mycobacterial ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters playing a key role in nutrient ...

Nutrient acquisition strategies of mammalian cells [PDF]
Nature, 2017 Mammalian cells are surrounded by diverse nutrients, such as glucose, amino acids, various macromolecules and micronutrients, which they can import through transmembrane transporters and endolysosomal pathways. By using different nutrient sources, cells gain metabolic flexibility to survive periods of starvation.

Evolution of nutrient acquisition: when space matters [PDF]
Functional Ecology, 2015 Summary Evolution of nutrient acquisition by plants should depend on two forces: local competition is based on the capacity to exploit the local nutrient resource, and regional competition is based on the capacity to occupy the whole landscape through seed production and dispersal.

Jena Soil Model (JSM v1.0; revision 1934): a microbial soil organic carbon model integrated with nitrogen and phosphorus processes [PDF]
, 2020 Plant–soil interactions, such as the coupling of plants' below-ground biomass allocation with soil organic matter (SOM) decomposition, nutrient release and plant uptake, are essential to understand the response of carbon (C) cycling to global changes ...

Nutrient acquisition by mycobacteria [PDF]
Microbiology, 2008 The growth and nutritional requirements of mycobacteria have been intensively studied since the discovery of Mycobacterium tuberculosis more than a century ago. However, the identity of many transporters for essential nutrients of M. tuberculosis and other mycobacteria is still unknown despite a wealth of genomic data and the availability of ...
