Species-specific metabolic networks shape evolutionary routes to functional rescue

This study shows species-specific metabolic networks influence evolutionary routes to functional rescue in Bacillus subtilis under different selection pressures.

Nutrient environments shape amino acid auxotrophy and cross-feeding

Across 40 carbon-nitrogen environments, six matched E. coli and B. subtilis amino acid auxotrophs show context-dependent auxotrophy, while auxotroph type predicts cross-feeding yield better than environment.

Adaptive laboratory evolution unlocks membrane permeability as a key limitation in long-chain alcohol metabolism by Pseudomonas putida KT2440

This study identifies membrane permeability as a key limitation in long-chain alcohol metabolism by P. putida KT2440 through adaptive laboratory evolution and transporter expression.
