Rhizosphere bacterial diversity and environmental function prediction of wild salt-tolerant plants in coastal silt soil

Ecological Indicators, 2022
Coastal silt soil (CSS), hydraulically transported and filled by dredger and mud pump from the bottom of beach in coastal zone in the process of reclamation project, has a high salinity which poses difficulties for coastal development.

Sulfur Metabolites Play Key System-Level Roles in Modulating Denitrification

mSystems, 2021
Competition between nitrate-reducing bacteria (NRB) and sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) for resources in anoxic environments is generally thought to be governed largely by thermodynamics.

Cross Kingdom Metabolic Engineering Paradigm Elevating Sustainable Protein Production

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Confronting the dual crisis of escalating global protein demand and unsustainable agriculture necessitates transformative solutions. Here, we pioneer evolutionary insights from maize nitrogen optimization via asparagine synthetase (ASNS) to rewire metabolism in Pichia pastoris.

The Fermenting Bacterium Malonomonas rubra is Phylogenetically Related to Sulfur-Reducing Bacteria and Contains a c-Type Cytochrome similar to those of Sulfur and Sulfate Reducers [PDF]

Systematic and Applied Microbiology, 1998
Malonomonas rubra is a microaerotolerant fermenting bacterium which can maintain its energy metabolism for growth by decarboxylation of malonate to acetate. 16S rRNA sequence analysis revealed that M. rubra is closely related to the cluster of mesophilic sulfur-reducing bacteria within the delta subclass of the Proteobacteria, with the fermenting ...

SuFEx‐Enabled Reprogramming of Flavonoids for Selective α‐Glucosidase Covalent Inhibition

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Selective inhibition of intestinal α‐glucosidase remains limited by poor enzyme specificity and off‐target metabolic effects. Here, SuFEx click chemistry is used to reprogram natural flavonoids into covalent inhibitors with enhanced α‐glucosidase selectivity and controlled reactivity. This strategy enables effective regulation of carbohydrate digestion

Sulfur oxidation and reduction are coupled to nitrogen fixation in the roots of the salt marsh foundation plant Spartina alterniflora

Nature Communications
Heterotrophic activity, primarily driven by sulfate-reducing prokaryotes, has traditionally been linked to nitrogen fixation in the root zone of coastal marine plants, leaving the role of chemolithoautotrophy in this process unexplored.

CREAT: A CRISPR‐Based Genome Trimming Strategy for Systematic Identification of Dispensable Regions and Rapid Genome Reduction

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Current genome‐reduction methods work in a trial‐and‐error fashion, constituting a long‐standing bottleneck in the research. We developed CREAT (CRISPR‐based genome trimming with a multi‐homology‐arm template), a CRISPR‐based genetic approach that enables systematically classifying essential versus non‐essential genomic regions and subsequently ...

Thiocapsa, Lutimaribacter, and Delftia Are Major Bacterial Taxa Facilitating the Coupling of Sulfur Oxidation and Nutrient Recycling in the Sulfide-Rich Isinuka Spring in South Africa

Biology
Sulfur cycling is a fundamental biogeochemical process, yet its microbial underpinnings in environments like the Isinuka sulfur pool remain poorly understood.
