Population genomics resolves cryptic species of the ecologically flexible genus Laspinema (cyanobacteria)

The paper uses population genomics to identify new cryptic species within the genus Laspinema and reveals its cosmopolitan distribution across diverse habitats.

Genomic and Phenotypic Comparison of Polyhydroxyalkanoates Producing Strains of genus Caldimonas/Schlegelella

The paper compares genomic and phenotypic features of PHA-producing bacteria to identify key traits for biotechnological applications.

Remodelling of cytoskeleton and plasma membrane proteins contributes to drought sensitivity of Arabidopsis rhd2 mutant

The paper identifies proteomic and structural changes in Arabidopsis rhd2 mutant that link drought sensitivity to altered plasma membrane protein homeostasis and cytoskeleton remodeling.

Genomic and metabolic plasticity drive alternative scenarios for adapting Pseudomonas putida to non-native substrate D-xylose.

This study investigates how Pseudomonas putida adapts to xylose by combining metabolic engineering and adaptive evolution, revealing genomic and metabolic plasticity that enables growth on the non-native sugar.

Spatiotemporal distribution of ROS production, delivery and utilization in Arabidopsis root hairs

The paper uses high-resolution live-cell imaging to study ROS production and subcellular localization in Arabidopsis root hairs using three fluorescent probes.

Engineering of Pseudomonas putida for accelerated co-utilization of glucose and cellobiose yields aerobic overproduction of pyruvate explained by an upgraded metabolic model

This study engineers P. putida EM42 to co-utilize glucose and cellobiose, leading to aerobic overproduction of pyruvate through a metabolic model constrained with proteomic and kinetic data.

Arabidopsis iron superoxide dismutase 1 protects against methyl viologen-induced oxidative stress in a copper-dependent manner

This study shows that FSD1 in Arabidopsis requires copper for its antioxidative function against methyl viologen-induced oxidative stress, with chloroplast localization being essential.

An updated structural model of the A domain of the Pseudomonas putida XylR regulator exposes a distinct interplay with aromatic effectors

The paper presents an updated structural model of the XylR A domain in Pseudomonas putida, revealing how aromatic effectors influence its folding and activation rather than binding dynamically to a pre-formed structure.

FSD1: a plastidial, nuclear and cytoplasmic enzyme relocalizing to the plasma membrane under salinity

This study investigates the subcellular localization and function of FSD1, an SOD in Arabidopsis, showing its role in seed germination and salt stress tolerance through plasma membrane relocalization.

Biotransformation of D-xylose to D-xylonic acid coupled to medium chain length polyhydroxyalkanoate production in cellobiose-grown Pseudomonas putida EM42.

This study demonstrates Pseudomonas putida EM42's ability to co-produce D-xylonic acid and medium chain length polyhydroxyalkanoates from D-xylose and D-cellobiose.

Computer-Assisted Engineering of Hyperstable Fibroblast Growth Factor 2

This paper describes the engineering of a hyperstable FGF2 variant with nine mutations using a computer-assisted strategy, achieving high stability without losing biological function.
