Skin exposure to sunlight: a factor modulating the human gut microbiome composition
Background: The gut microbiome has been increasingly acknowledged as playing a pivotal role in human health. Therefore, a number of studies have focused on variables that impact its microbial structure and consequent functionality.

The metagenomics of biosilicification: causes and effects [PDF]
In order to determine the links between geochemical parameters controlling the formation of silica sinter in hot springs and their associated microbial diversity, a detailed characterisation of the waters and of in situ-grown silica sinters was combined ...

Antimicrobial Peptides from Marine Proteobacteria [PDF]
After years of inadequate use and the emergence of multidrug resistant (MDR) strains, the efficiency of “classical” antibiotics has decreased significantly. New drugs to fight MDR strains are urgently needed. Bacteria hold much promise as a source of unusual bioactive metabolites.

Exoproduction and Molecular Characterization of Peroxidase from Ensifer adhaerens
The increased industrial application potentials of peroxidase have led to high market demand, which has outweighed the commercially available peroxidases. Hence, the need for alternative and efficient peroxidase-producers is imperative.

Correlation property of length sequences based on global structure of complete genome [PDF]
This paper considers three kinds of length sequences of the complete genome. Detrended fluctuation analysis, spectral analysis, and the mean distance spanned within time $L$ are used to discuss the correlation property of these sequences.

Riboregulation in plant-associated α-proteobacteria [PDF]
The symbiotic α-rhizobia Sinorhizobium meliloti, Bradyrhizobium japonicum, Rhizobium etli and the related plant pathogen Agrobacterium tumefaciens are important model organisms for studying plant-microbe interactions. These metabolically versatile soil bacteria are characterized by complex lifestyles and large genomes.

Evolution of Chi motifs in Proteobacteria [PDF]
AbstractHomologous recombination is a key pathway found in nearly all bacterial taxa. The recombination complex allows bacteria to repair DNA double strand breaks but also promotes adaption through the exchange of DNA between cells. In Proteobacteria, this process is mediated by the RecBCD complex, which relies on the recognition of a DNA motif named ...
