A diverse family of protein antibiotics inhibits the BAM complex by β-signal mimicry

This study identifies how diverse Llps inhibit the BAM complex by β-signal mimicry, revealing structural and functional mechanisms across Pseudomonas species.

Metabolically flexible microorganisms rapidly establish glacial foreland ecosystems

This study investigates microbial colonization in glacial forelands, finding that metabolically flexible bacteria drive early succession and create hospitable conditions for later colonizers.

Flavobacteria buffer nitrous oxide emissions from partial denitrifiers in coastal sediments

The paper identifies Flavobacteria in coastal sediments that reduce nitrous oxide emissions by having low substrate affinity, contradicting prior assumptions and suggesting they buffer nitrogen cycling.
