Exogenous fatty acids inhibit fatty acid synthesis by competing with endogenously generated substrates for phospholipid synthesis in Escherichia coli

FEBS Letters, Volume 599, Issue 5, Page 667-681, March 2025.
Bacteria can absorb external fatty acids to build their membranes. Working in E. coli, we show that external fatty acids inhibit internal fatty acid production through competition for membrane synthesis. This rapid negative feedback helps bacteria conserve resources and preserve membrane properties. We predict similar mechanisms exist in many bacteria.

Aspartate Metabolism‐Driven Gut Microbiota Dynamics and RIP‐Dependent Mitochondrial Function Counteract Oxidative Stress

Advanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 11, March 20, 2025.
This study examines the role of aspartate (Asp) metabolism in regulating gut microbiota and oxidative stress in piglets. Through interaction with the RIP1‐RIP3‐MLKL and RIP1‐Nrf2‐NF‐κB signaling pathways, Asp improves mitochondrial function and enhances the production of the antioxidant eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), counteracting oxidative stress ...

Vaginal Prevotella timonensis Bacteria Enhance HIV‐1 Uptake and Differentially Affect Transmission by Distinct Primary Dendritic Cell Subsets

European Journal of Immunology, Volume 55, Issue 3, March 2025.
The bacterium Prevotella timonensis found in vaginal dysbiosis enhances the uptake of HIV‐1 by primary dendritic cells. Virus is internalised into tetraspanin‐rich compartments, which leads to efficient HIV‐1 transmission to target cells. These results provide insight into how microbiota directly affect HIV‐1 uptake thereby altering HIV‐1 ...

Metabolic Signatures of Bacterial Vaginosis [PDF]

mBio, 2015
ABSTRACT Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is characterized by shifts in the vaginal microbiota from Lactobacillus dominant to a microbiota with diverse anaerobic bacteria. Few studies have linked specific metabolites with bacteria found in the human vagina.
