Mapping the evolution of mitochondrial complex I through structural variation
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Respiratory complex I (CI) is crucial for bioenergetic metabolism in many prokaryotes and eukaryotes. It is composed of a conserved set of core subunits and additional accessory subunits that vary depending on the organism. Here, we categorize CI subunits from available structures to map the evolution of CI across eukaryotes. Respiratory complex I (CI)

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Phototrophs evolved light‐harvesting systems adapted for efficient photon capture in habitats enriched in far‐red radiation. A subset of eukaryotic pigment‐binding proteins can absorb far‐red photons via low‐energy chlorophyll states known as red forms.

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.Comparative analysis of chloroplast genomes from 14 genera of Thymelaeaceae revealed variation in gene content, ranging from 128 to 142 genes, primarily influenced by IR expansion/contraction events and pseudogenization of ndhF, ndhI, and ndhG. Two large inversions were detected within the large single‐copy region, including a synapomorphic inversion ...

Advancing Wildfire‐Retardant Materials: Engineering Strategies for Direct and Indirect Suppression
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.Here, the evolution, ecological impact, and performance of current fire‐retardant materials and suppression strategies are reviewed, offering an engineering perspective to address existing challenges and propose pathways for the development of more effective, scalable, and sustainable solutions to meet the demands of a changing climate. Wildfires cause

Examination of Genetic Control Elements in the Phototrophic Firmicute Heliomicrobium modesticaldum
Microorganisms, 2022 Heliomicrobium modesticaldum has been used as a model organism for the Heliobacteria, the only phototrophic family in the Firmicutes. It is a moderately thermophilic anoxygenic phototrophic bacterium that is capable of fermentative growth in the dark ...

Energy conversion in Purple Bacteria Photosynthesis [PDF]
, 2011 The study of how photosynthetic organisms convert light offers insight not only into nature's evolutionary process, but may also give clues as to how best to design and manipulate artificial photosynthetic systems -- and also how far we can drive natural
