The mucin-degradation strategy of Ruminococcus gnavus:The importance of intramolecular trans-sialidases [PDF]
We previously identified and characterized an intramolecular trans-sialidase (IT-sialidase) in the gut symbiont Ruminococcus gnavus ATCC 29149, which is associated to the ability of the strain to grow on mucins. In this work we have obtained and analyzed

Root cell wall plasticity in iron homeostasis: an overlooked frontier in plant nutrition
Summary Iron (Fe) is an essential micronutrient for plant growth and development, yet its availability in soils is often limited or excessive, leading to widespread Fe deficiency or toxicity that constrains crop productivity. While Fe uptake, transport, and signaling pathways have been well characterized, the role of the root cell wall as a dynamic ...

PtrA is required for coordinate regulation of gene expression during phosphate stress in a marine Synechococcus [PDF]
Previous microarray analyses have shown a key role for the two-component system PhoBR (SYNW0947, SYNW0948) in the regulation of P transport and metabolism in the marine cyanobacterium Synechococcus sp. WH8102. However, there is some evidence that another

Regulation of D-galacturonate metabolism in Caulobacter crescentus by HumR, a LacI-family transcriptional repressor [PDF]
The oligotrophic freshwater bacterium Caulobacter crescentus encodes a cluster of genes (CC_1487 to CC_1495) shown here to be necessary for metabolism of D-galacturonate, the primary constituent of pectin, a major plant polymer.
