Molecular Microbiology, EarlyView.Model for the non‐PTS utilization of manno‐oligosaccharides by Cellvibrio japonicus. The Mgp130A and EpiA enzymes are essential for the utilization of mannose residues. ABSTRACT Manno‐oligosaccharides and their metabolism play important roles in gut health, pharmaceutical development, and renewable chemical production.

Molecular Microbiology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT BosR is a novel nucleic acid‐binding protein in the ferric uptake regulator (FUR) family that regulates gene expression in the Lyme disease spirochete Borrelia (Borreliella) burgdorferi. This issue of Molecular Microbiology contains a comprehensive transcriptomic study that keenly defines the regulatory swath of BosR in the vertebrate host of ...

The efficiency of multi-target drugs: the network approach might help drug design
, 2005 Despite considerable progress in genome- and proteome-based high-throughput screening methods and rational drug design, the number of successful single target drugs did not increase appreciably during the past decade.

Causes and consequences of bacterial local adaptation via MGEs in the plant microbiome
New Phytologist, EarlyView.Summary Adaptations that enable plant‐associated bacteria to fill disparate niches comprise a critical component of microbial diversity. Genes that confer locally adaptive bacterial traits, ranging from heavy metal resistance to pathogen or symbiont infectivity, often reside within mobile genetic elements (MGEs) that can move between genomes.

Rhizobial motility preference in root colonization of Medicago truncatula
New Phytologist, EarlyView.Summary Tunnel‐like infection thread (IT) structures support root colonization by symbiotic nitrogen‐fixing rhizobia bacteria in most legume species. These tip‐grown structures are key to directing rhizobia from root hairs to developing nodules, where they are hosted to fix nitrogen.

Plastid Engineering for Photosynthesis‐Driven Synthesis of Hyaluronic Acid in Tobacco
Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a glycosaminoglycan composed of alternating units of N‐acetylglucosamine and glucuronic acid. High moisture retention, viscoelasticity and biocompatibility are unique features that make HA polymers attractive compounds for medical applications and aesthetic purposes.
