Increased root exudation rate under combined drought and bacterial inoculation and bacterial growth stimulation by specific exudation metabolites support the idea of root recruitment of beneficial bacteria, especially under water stress.

During growth in biofilms and host infection, the opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa employs respiratory heterocomplexes that support extracellular electron shuttling and pathogenicity.

Simple insertions switch α-helical coiled coils into a novel fibrous protein fold that is periodically interspersed with short β-strands.

Chronic bacteriophages are induced by the supplement of polysaccharide in the deep-sea Lentisphaerae strains, and these bacteriophages potentially reprogram host polysaccharide metabolism through the auxiliary metabolic genes.

A deep-sea Planctomycetes bacterium performs a unique budding mode of division and recruits chronic phages for metabolizing nitrogen through the function of auxiliary metabolic genes.

The BPTF PHD finger is inhibited from binding the methylated H3 tails in the context of the nucleosome due to their robust interaction with the nucleosomal DNA, which can be modulated by additional histone PTMs.

Genomics and genetics were used to identify specialized metabolites employed by Pseudomonas bacteria to suppress the growth of potato pathogens, which revealed a key role for cyclic lipopeptides.

lnc-Nr2f1, a long non-coding RNA focally deleted in autism patients, directly occupies and regulates neuronal genes.

While movement of Fgf-signaling to the limb mesenchyme accompanied a shift in function, the ultimate outcome remains a convergent tetrapod limb phenotype.
