This paper identifies a novel HAO-like protein in anammox bacteria that may convert hydroxylamine to hydrazine, potentially playing a role in the anammox cycle.

This study shows that iron binding to caspofungin reduces its antifungal efficacy against Candida albicans and other fungi in iron-overloaded conditions.

This paper develops a whole-genome multilocus sequence typing (wgMLST) scheme to accurately discriminate Shewanella seohaensis from closely related species and assess their diversity.

This study shows that multiheme cytochromes c evolve through modular grafting and pruning, with heme addition and loss occurring via specific peptide integration and mutation patterns.

This study characterizes the flavin-containing SIP and FSR reductases in Shewanella putrefaciens, revealing differences in substrate specificity and Fe(III)-siderophore reduction capabilities between SIP family members.

The paper surveys MHC diversity in Desulfuromonadia using bioinformatics and AlphaFold2, revealing many uncharacterized cytochromes with potential biotechnological applications.
