Microbiome derived acidity protects against microbial invasion in Drosophila

A. J. Barron, D. N. A. Lesperance, J. Doucette, S. Calle, N. A. Broderick

The paper shows gut microbes in Drosophila acidify their environment to block invading pathogens, with some microbes counteracting this acidity to colonize the host.

The Cu(II) reductase RclA protects Escherichia coli against the combination of hypochlorous acid and intracellular copper

R. M. Derke, A. J. Barron, C. E. Billiot, I. F. Chaple, S. E. Lapi, N. A. Broderick, M. J. Gray

This study shows that RclA, a Cu(II) reductase in E. coli, protects against HOCl and intracellular copper toxicity, highlighting copper redox reactions in inflammation.
