A description of the genus Denitromonas nom. rev.: Denitromonas iodatirespirans sp. nov. a novel iodate-reducing bacterium and two novel perchlorate-reducing bacteria Denitromonas halophila and Denitromonas ohlonensis isolated from San Francisco Bay intertidal mudflats.

This study describes three new Denitromonas species isolated from San Francisco Bay, demonstrating they are facultative denitrifiers using various carbon sources and esoteric electron acceptors.

Coupling of NOD2 to GIV is Required for Bacterial Sensing

This paper identifies GIV as a NOD2-interactor that enhances bacterial sensing and signaling in macrophages, revealing how loss of function in the NOD2 1007fs variant impairs protective immune responses.

The minor spliceosome offers a therapeutically viable target for the treatment of a broad spectrum of cancers

This study shows that targeting the minor spliceosome, specifically Rnpc3, reduces tumor burden in multiple cancer models and is associated with poor patient survival in cancer transcriptomes.

Sulfate adenylyl transferase kinetics and mechanisms of metabolic inhibitors of microbial sulfate respiration

The paper measures kinetic parameters of sulfate adenylyl transferase and compares inhibitor potency with growth inhibition in sulfate-reducing bacteria.

Genetic and phylogenetic analysis of dissimilatory iodate-reducing bacteria identifies potential niches across the world's oceans

This study identifies genetic and phylogenetic features of iodate-reducing bacteria and links them to specific oceanic niches.

The Diversity and Evolution of Microbial Dissimilatory Phosphite Oxidation

This study identifies 21 novel dissimilatory phosphite-oxidizing microorganisms (DPOM) through metagenomic sequencing, revealing their global distribution, metabolic specialization, and ancient evolutionary origins.

Effects of green seaweed extract on Arabidopsis early development suggest roles for hormone signalling in plant responses to algal fertilisers

This study investigates how Ulva intestinalis extract affects Arabidopsis thaliana germination and root growth, identifying hormone signaling pathways involved in plant responses to algal fertilizers.

ATM orchestrates the DNA-damage response to counter toxic non-homologous end-joining at broken replication forks

The paper identifies how ATM counteracts toxic non-homologous end-joining at broken replication forks by showing that loss of NHEJ components or BRCA1-A complex confers resistance to DNA-damaging agents in ATM-deficient cells.
