    Functional genomics of lipid metabolism in the oleaginous yeast Rhodosporidium toruloides

    Samuel T Coradetti, Dominic Pinel ... Jeffrey M Skerker
    Using barcoded mutagenesis and a high-throughput genetic screen results in the identification of 150 genes that affect lipid accumulation in a non-model yeast system.

    A microfluidic device for inferring metabolic landscapes in yeast monolayer colonies

    Zoran S Marinkovic, Clément Vulin ... Pascal Hersen
    Metabolic gradients underlie gene expression patterns within spatially controlled expanding 2D microbial colonies.

    Functional and structural characterization of an ECF-type ABC transporter for vitamin B12

    Joana A Santos, Stephan Rempel ... Dirk J Slotboom
    ECF-CbrT is a bacterial vitamin B12 transporter that is structurally different from the well-characterized transporter BtuCDF, yet has similar functional properties.

    The Lamin B receptor is essential for cholesterol synthesis and perturbed by disease-causing mutations

    Pei-Ling Tsai, Chenguang Zhao ... Christian Schlieker
    Lamin B receptor may provide a long-sought model system enabling unprecedented studies of protein quality control in the nuclear envelope of mammalian cells.

    Resurrecting essential amino acid biosynthesis in mammalian cells

    Julie Trolle, Ross M McBee ... Harris H Wang
    Mammalian cells were engineered to synthesize valine, a metabolic capacity that had been lost from the lineage of higher eukaryotes for >500 million years.

    Arrayed CRISPRi and quantitative imaging describe the morphotypic landscape of essential mycobacterial genes

    Timothy J de Wet, Kristy R Winkler ... Digby F Warner
    A high-throughput functional genomics approach combining inducible CRISPR-interference and quantitative imaging yields an atlas of 'phenoprints' to guide gene function assignments, identify metabolic pathway-specific morphotypes, and inform antibiotic mechanism-of-action studies.

    Impaired respiration elicits SrrAB-dependent programmed cell lysis and biofilm formation in Staphylococcus aureus

    Ameya A Mashruwala, Adriana van de Guchte, Jeffrey M Boyd
    The absence of oxygen prompts Staphylococcus aureus cells to rupture resulting in increased formation of biofilms, which are the etiological agents of recurrent infections.

    Microbial genetic and transcriptional contributions to oxalate degradation by the gut microbiota in health and disease

    Menghan Liu, Joseph C Devlin ... Lama Nazzal
    A novel multi-omics framework revealed the taxonomic contribution to microbiota oxalate, demontrated O. formigenes as the dominating taxon transcriptionally, and identified specific IBD cohort at risk for oxalte toxicity.

    The genetic basis of aneuploidy tolerance in wild yeast

    James Hose, Leah E Escalante ... Audrey P Gasch
    A single gene allele underlies differences in aneuploidy tolerance in yeast.

    Adaptation to mutational inactivation of an essential gene converges to an accessible suboptimal fitness peak

    João V Rodrigues, Eugene I Shakhnovich
    When an essential metabolic gene in E. coli is mutationally inactivated, subsequent evolution rarely reverts the mutation to wild type but rather follows unexpected paths that rewire metabolic fluxes.
