Expanding the Substrate Scope of a Bacterial Nucleotidyltransferase via Allosteric Mutations.
Bacterial glycoconjugates, such as cell surface polysaccharides and glycoproteins, play important roles in cellular interactions and survival. Enzymes called nucleotidyltransferases use sugar-1-phosphates and nucleoside triphosphates (NTPs) to produce ...

Adaptation of the Alphaproteobacterium Rhodobacter sphaeroides to stationary phase
Summary Exhaustion of nutritional resources stimulates bacterial populations to adapt their growth behaviour. General mechanisms are known to facilitate this adaptation by sensing the environmental change and coordinating gene expression. However, the existence of such mechanisms among the Alphaproteobacteria remains unclear.

Summary White mould of soya bean, caused by Sclerotinia sclerotiorum (Lib.) de Bary, is a necrotrophic fungus capable of infecting a wide range of plants. To dissect the genetic architecture of resistance to white mould, a high‐density customized single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) array (52 041 SNPs) was used to genotype two soya bean diversity ...

Binding of Carminomycin to synthetic polyribonucleotides poly(A) and poly(U): absorption and polarized fluorescence study [PDF]
Binding of anthracycline antibiotic carminomycin (CM) to synthetic polyribonucleotides poly(A) and poly(U) was studied in solution of low ionic strength in a wide phosphate-to-dye (P/D) range using absorption and polarized fluorescence spectroscopy. Two different modes of CM binding to the ss-polynucleotides have been identified.

Transcriptome atlas of Striga germination: Implications for managing an intractable parasitic plant
Witchweeds, parasitic plants of the genus Striga, are nicknamed “cereal killers” because of their devastating destruction of Africa's most staple cereals, including maize, sorghum, millets, and upland rice. The parasite relies on biomolecules emitted from the host roots to germinate and therefore initiate its infectious lifecycle.

While many studies have examined the mechanisms by which extremophilic Deinococci survive exposure to ionizing radiation, very few publications have characterized the cold shock adaptations of this group, despite many species being found in persistent cold environments and environments prone to significant daily temperature fluctuations. Bacterial cold
