An analysis of natural variation in Pinus pinaster through the lens of systems biology

The paper analyzes natural variation in Pinus pinaster using proteomics and integrates it with growth parameters and geoclimatic data to understand adaptation mechanisms.

Unveiling the ecology, taxonomy and metabolic capabilities of MBA03, a potential key player in anaerobic digestion

The paper identifies MBA03 as a new bacterial order, Darwinibacteriales, involved in anaerobic digestion by acting as syntrophic acetate oxidising bacteria.

Multivariate comparison of taxonomic, chemical and technical data from 80 full-scale an-aerobic digester-related systems

This study analyzes 80 anaerobic digestion systems to identify core microbiomes and factors influencing microbial communities in large-scale reactors.

SARS-CoV-2 infection suppresses ACE2 function and antiviral immune response in the upper respiratory tract of infected patients

This study shows SARS-CoV-2 reduces ACE2 activity and antiviral gene expression in the upper respiratory tract, while initially increasing interferon-stimulated genes.

Evolutionary conservation and multilevel post-translational control of S-adenosyl-homocysteine-Hydrolase in land plants

This study investigates the evolutionary conservation and post-translational regulation of SAH hydrolase in land plants, showing its oligomeric structure and environmental responsiveness in Arabidopsis and Physcomitrella.

Growth under high light and elevated temperature affects metabolic responses and accumulation of health-promoting metabolites in kale varieties

This study shows that high light and elevated temperature reduce certain glucosinolates but increase health-promoting metabolites in kale varieties.

Out of the abyss: Genome and metagenome mining reveals unexpected environmental distribution of abyssomicins

This study uses genomic and metagenomic data to explore the environmental distribution of abyssomicin biosynthetic gene clusters, identifying new variants and highlighting their prevalence in terrestrial habitats.

Shedding light on biogas: a transparent reactor triggers the development of a biofilm dominated by Rhodopseudomonas faecalis that holds potential for improved biogas production

The paper investigates the impact of light on microbial communities in anaerobic digesters, finding that a transparent reactor promotes a biofilm dominated by Rhodopseudomonas faecalis, which may enhance biogas production with a higher CH4:CO2 ratio.
