Rubisco supplies pyruvate for the 2-C-methyl-D-erythritol-4-phosphate pathway

S. E. Evans, Y. Xu, M. E. Bergman, S. Ford, Y. Liu, T. Sharkey, M. A. Phillips

The paper shows rubisco produces pyruvate for isoprenoid and fatty acid biosynthesis, resolving the pyruvate paradox and linking the MEP pathway to carbon assimilation.

Plasmid manipulation of bacterial behaviour through translational regulatory crosstalk

C. Thompson, J. Hall, G. Chandra, C. Martins, G. Saalbach, S. Bird, S. Ford, R. Little, A. Piazza, E. Harrison, R. Jackson, M. Brockhurst, J. Malone

This paper identifies RsmQ as a plasmid translational regulator that globally controls bacterial behavior by altering the proteome, leading to a switch from motile to sessile lifestyle.

Bacterial Diversity in Feces of Wild Bald Eagles, Turkey Vultures and Common Ravens from the Pacific Northwest Coast, U.S.A.

R. Crespo, S. E. Dowd, D. E. Varland, S. Ford, T. E. Hamer

This study examines bacterial diversity in the feces of wild bald eagles, turkey vultures, and common ravens from the Pacific Northwest, using 16S rRNA sequencing to identify phylum-level differences in their gut microbiota.
