Nitrite secretion by cyanobacteria is controlled by the small protein NirP1

This study identifies NirP1 as a regulator of nitrite secretion in cyanobacteria under carbon limitation, revealing its role in coordinating carbon and nitrogen metabolism.

Mesopredator-mediated trophic cascade can break persistent phytoplankton blooms in coastal waters

The paper shows that mesopredators reduce phytoplankton blooms in coastal waters by promoting microzooplankton grazing, contrasting with freshwater systems where zooplanktivorous fish removal increases blooms.

Protein abundance and folding rather than the redox state of Kelch13 determine the artemisinin susceptibility of Plasmodium falciparum

The paper investigates whether mutations in Kelch13 affect artemisinin susceptibility through redox changes or protein folding/abundance, finding that impaired folding and reduced abundance are the key factors.

Temperature drives variation in flying insect biomass across a German malaise trap network

The paper analyzes data from a German malaise trap network to show how temperature and land-cover type influence flying insect biomass and phenology across different regions.
