Characterization of D-Arabitol as Newly Discovered Carbon Source of Bacillus methanolicus
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019 Bacillus methanolicus is a Gram-positive, thermophilic, methanol-utilizing bacterium. As a facultative methylotroph, B. methanolicus is also known to utilize D-mannitol, D-glucose and, as recently discovered, sugar alcohol D-arabitol.

History of Maturation of Prokaryotic Molybdoenzymes—A Personal View
Molecules, 2023 In prokaryotes, the role of Mo/W enzymes in physiology and bioenergetics is widely recognized. It is worth noting that the most diverse family of Mo/W enzymes is exclusive to prokaryotes, with the probable existence of several of them from the earliest ...

A Quantitative Approach to Investigating the Hypothesis of Prokaryotic Intron Loss [PDF]
, 2011 Using a novel method, we show that ordered triplets of motifs usually associated with spliceosomal intron recognition are underrepresented in the protein coding sequence of complete Thermotogae, archaeal and bacterial genomes.

The evolution of complex gene regulation by low specificity binding sites
, 2012 Transcription factor binding sites vary in their specificity, both within and between species. Binding specificity has a strong impact on the evolution of gene expression, because it determines how easily regulatory interactions are gained and lost ...

Bacteria‐Responsive Nanostructured Drug Delivery Systems for Targeted Antimicrobial Therapy
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Bacteria‐responsive nanocarriers are designed to release antimicrobials only in the presence of infection‐specific cues. This selective activation ensures drug release precisely at the site of infection, avoiding premature or indiscriminate release, and enhancing efficacy.

Prokaryotic respiration and production in the meso- and bathypelagic realm of the eastern and western North Atlantic basin [PDF]
, 2006 We measured prokaryotic production and respiration in the major water masses of the North Atlantic down to a depth of,4,000 m by following the progression of the two branches of North Atlantic Deep Water (NADW) in the oceanic conveyor belt.
