Iron rescues glucose-mediated photosynthesis repression during lipid accumulation in the green alga Chromochloris zofingiensis

Oligosaccharide production and signaling correlate with delayed flowering in an Arabidopsis genotype grown and selected in high

This study compares metabolomic and transcriptomic changes in two Arabidopsis genotypes under elevated CO2, finding that SG delays flowering due to higher oligosaccharide production and altered carbohydrate metabolism.

Taxonomic distribution of metabolic functions underpins nutrient cycling in Trichodesmium consortia

The study links microbial taxa and their functional traits to nutrient cycling in Trichodesmium consortia, revealing functional redundancy and interdependencies that enhance resilience in oligotrophic environments.

Cysteine: an ancestral Cu binding ligand in green algae?

The paper shows that cysteine is an ancestral Cu(I) ligand in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, as Zn deficiency disrupts Cu homeostasis and increases cysteine levels, which co-localize with Cu in acidocalcisomes.

Phosphorylation barcodes direct biased chemokine signaling at CXCR3

The paper shows that CXCR3 chemokines use different phosphorylation barcodes to activate distinct signaling pathways, leading to varied physiological outcomes.

Single cell carbon and nitrogen incorporation and remineralization profiles are uncoupled from phylogenetic groupings of diatom-associated bacteria

The paper quantifies single-cell carbon and nitrogen exchange between diatoms and bacteria, finding functional categories not linked to phylogeny.

Metabolic traits and the niche of bulk soil bacteria in a Mediterranean grassland

This study compares metabolic traits of bulk soil and rhizosphere bacteria in a Mediterranean grassland, finding bulk soil bacteria better adapted to degrade plant polymers.

Genome-resolved metaproteomics decodes the microbial and viral contributions to coupled carbon and nitrogen cycling in river sediments

The paper integrates metagenomic, metaproteomic, and metabolomic data from river sediments to uncover microbial and viral roles in carbon and nitrogen cycling, creating a genomic resource called HUM-V.

Sporadic ERK pulses drive non-genetic resistance in drug-adapted BRAFV600E melanoma cells

The paper shows that sporadic ERK pulses in BRAFV600E melanoma cells drive non-genetic resistance to RAF/MEK inhibitors.
