Polyethylene valorization by combined chemical catalysis with bioconversion by plastic-enriched microbial consortia

This paper combines chemical catalysis and microbial consortia to valorize polyethylene deconstruction products into valuable wax esters.

Fis connects two sensory pathways, quorum sensing and surface sensing, to control motility in Vibrio parahaemolyticus

This paper shows Fis regulates quorum sensing and surface sensing pathways in V. parahaemolyticus to control motility and metabolism, with Fis deletion leading to reduced swarming and fitness.

Investigations of dimethylglycine (DMG), glycine betaine and ectoine uptake by a BCCT family transporter with broad substrate specificity in Vibrio species.

This study identifies dimethylglycine (DMG) as a novel osmolyte for Vibrio parahaemolyticus and shows it is transported by BCCT-family carriers, with BccT1 facilitating uptake of DMG, glycine betaine, and ectoine.

The organosulfur compound dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP) is utilized as an osmoprotectant by Vibrio species

This study shows Vibrio species use DMSP as an osmoprotectant and identifies specific BCCT transporters involved in its uptake.

CosR is a repressor of compatible solute biosynthesis and transporter systems

This study identifies CosR as a repressor of compatible solute biosynthesis and transporter systems in Vibrio parahaemolyticus and shows its conservation across Vibrio species.
