Complex Ecotype Dynamics Evolve in Response to Fluctuating Resources
Ecotypic diversification and its associated cooperative behaviors are frequently observed in natural microbial populations whose access to resources is often sporadic.

THE KINETICS OF STARVATION [PDF]
1. The loss of weight in pigeons subjected to prolonged starvation on water alone may be accurately represented by an appropriate form of the law of autocatakinesis. 2. This function, within proper limitations, gives a definite indication as to the nature and character of the fundamental reactions involved.

The brain regulates food intake in response to internal energy demands and food availability. However, can internal energy storage influence the type of memory that is formed?

As the goal of a bacterium is to become bacteria, evolution has imposed continued selections for gene expression. The intracellular pathogen Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the causative agent of tuberculosis, has adopted a fine-tuned response to survive its

Elevated plasma levels of the appetite-stimulator ACBP/DBI in fasting and obese subjects
Eukaryotic cells release the phylogenetically ancient protein acyl coenzyme A binding protein (ACBP, which in humans is encoded by the gene DBI, diazepam binding inhibitor) upon nutrient deprivation. Accordingly, mice that are starved for one to two days

Peripheral lysosomes recruit PLEKHG3 to focal adhesions and restrain protrusion dynamics
Proximity‐dependent labeling at the LAMTOR complex revealed the Rho GEF PLEKHG3 as a lysosome‐proximal protein directing the study toward the influence of lysosome positioning on actin dynamics and cell motility. We show that PLEKHG3 colocalizes with lysosomes at focal adhesion sites and observe that forced peripheral dispersion of lysosomes hinders ...

Food supply is considered critical for a successful culturing of decapod larvae. However, some species may present yolk reserve sufficient to complete their larval development without external food supply (known as lecithotrophic larval development).

The NA23_RS08100 gene of Fervidobacterium islandicum AW-1 encodes a keratin-degrading β-aspartyl peptidase (FiBAP) that is highly expressed under starvation conditions. Herein, we expressed the gene in Escherichia coli, purified the recombinant enzyme to
