Impact of vitamin B12 on rhamnose metabolism, stress defense and in-vitro virulence of Listeria monocytogenes

This study shows that vitamin B12 enhances anaerobic growth and virulence of L. monocytogenes on rhamnose by activating the pdu BMC pathway and upregulating stress defense and virulence factors.

Impact of bacterial microcompartment-dependent ethanolamine and propanediol metabolism on Listeria monocytogenes interactions with Caco-2 cells

This study investigates how bacterial microcompartment-dependent ethanolamine and propanediol metabolism in Listeria monocytogenes affects its interaction with Caco-2 cells, finding enhanced translocation efficacy with active BMCs.

Anaerobic growth of Listeria monocytogenes on rhamnose is stimulated by Vitamin B12 and bacterial microcompartment dependent 1,2-propanediol utilization

This study shows that vitamin B12 activates the pdu pathway in L. monocytogenes, enabling anaerobic growth on rhamnose via 1,2-propanediol degradation and BMC formation.

Nitrogenous Compound Utilization and Production of Volatile Organic Compounds among Commercial Wine Yeasts Highlight Strain-Specific Metabolic Diversity

This study examines how nitrogen utilization by commercial wine yeast strains affects volatile organic compound production, revealing strain-specific metabolic differences and correlations between nitrogen use and aroma compound formation.

Bacterial microcompartments linked to the flavin-based extracellular electron transfer drives anaerobic ethanolamine utilization in Listeria monocytogenes

This study shows that Listeria monocytogenes uses bacterial microcompartments (BMCs) for anaerobic ethanolamine catabolism, which is linked to flavin-based extracellular electron transfer to balance redox states.
