This study shows that increasing μ-opioid receptor density promotes trafficking via GRK2/3 and β-arrestin interactions, while class B GPCRs block trafficking by sequestering β-arrestin.

This study investigates how Methylobacterium extorquens metabolizes vanillic acid, showing it uses formaldehyde for energy rather than detoxification and avoids diauxie when growing on methanol and high vanillic acid concentrations.

This study evolved Rhodopseudomonas palustris to use formate as a carbon source, identifying mutations that enhance formate assimilation through potential CO2 concentrating mechanisms.

The paper investigates corrinoid production and dependence in soil bacteria to understand metabolic interactions, finding metabolic compatibility and conserved traits across genera.
