ToRQuEMaDA: tool for retrieving queried Eubacteria, metadata and dereplicating assemblies [PDF]

PeerJ, 2021
TQMD is a tool for high-performance computing clusters which downloads, stores and produces lists of dereplicated prokaryotic genomes. It has been developed to counter the ever-growing number of prokaryotic genomes and their uneven taxonomic distribution.

HMMER cut-off threshold tool (HMMERCTTER): Supervised classification of superfamily protein sequences with a reliable cut-off threshold [PDF]

, 2018
Background: Protein superfamilies can be divided into subfamilies of proteins with different functional characteristics. Their sequences can be classified hierarchically, which is part of sequence function assignation.

cAMP and c-di-GMP synergistically support biofilm maintenance through the direct interaction of their effectors

Nature Communications, 2022
Nucleotide second messengers, such as cAMP and c-di-GMP, regulate many physiological processes in bacteria, including biofilm formation. Here, the authors provide evidence of cross-talk between cAMP and c-di-GMP pathways through direct interaction of ...

The complete mitochondrial genome of the two-spotted cricket Gryllus bimaculatus (Orthoptera: Gryllidae) from South Korea

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2021
The complete mitochondrial genome of a two-spotted cricket Gryllus bimaculatus (Orthoptera: Gryllidae) from South Korea is determined and characterized in this study. The circular genome is 16,075 bp long, which consists of 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs),

Carbohydrate-binding modules targeting branched polysaccharides: overcoming side-chain recalcitrance in a non-catalytic approach

Bioresources and Bioprocessing, 2021
Extensive decoration of backbones is a major factor resulting in resistance of enzymatic conversion in hemicellulose and other branched polysaccharides. Employing debranching enzymes is the main strategy to overcome this kind of recalcitrance at present.

The mitochondrial genome of a giant water bug Lethocerus deyrollei (Hemiptera: Belostomatidae) from South Korea

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2021
A giant water bug Lethocerus deyrollei (Hemiptera: Belostomatidae) is a large, predatory, and nocturnal hemipteran insect, which has been considered threatened and thus enrolled as an endangered species in South Korea and Japan.

One-step fermentation for producing xylo-oligosaccharides from wheat bran by recombinant Escherichia coli containing an alkaline xylanase

BMC Biotechnology, 2022
Background One-step fermentation is a cheap way to produce xylo-oligosaccharides (XOS), where production of xylanases and XOS is integrated into a single process. In spite of cost advantage, one-step fermentation is still short in yield so far due to the

Revisionary systematics of Octocorallia (Cnidaria: Anthozoa) guided by phylogenomics

Bulletin of the Society of Systematic Biologists, 2022
The anthozoan sub-class Octocorallia includes over 3500 nominal species of soft corals and gorgonian sea fans, many of which serve as critical foundation species in benthic marine ecosystems in shallow waters to the deep sea.

Functional identification of two novel carbohydrate-binding modules of glucuronoxylanase CrXyl30 and their contribution to the lignocellulose saccharification

Biotechnology for Biofuels and Bioproducts, 2023
Background Glycoside hydrolase (GH) family 30 xylanases are a distinct group of xylanases, most of which have a highly specific catalytic activity for glucuronoxylan.

Phylogenomics reveals the history of host use in mosquitoes

Nature Communications, 2023
Mosquitoes have profoundly affected human history and continue to threaten human health through the transmission of a diverse array of pathogens. The phylogeny of mosquitoes has remained poorly characterized due to difficulty in taxonomic sampling and ...
