This study identifies a bacterial gene, anmK, horizontally transferred to ticks, which integrates into tick biology and supports reproductive fitness.

This paper identifies a novel aminosugar metabolic pathway in Streptomyces that regulates development and antibiotic production through GlcNAc sensing.

This study identifies a WTA glycosyltransferase in S. epidermidis that modifies WTA with glucose, altering phage susceptibility and enabling horizontal gene transfer among CoNS species.
