From Magnetosomes to Vesicles: LemA Proteins as Drivers of Bacterial Membrane Reorganization

This paper identifies LemA proteins as conserved drivers of bacterial membrane reorganization, involved in organelle and vesicle formation through interactions with divisome components and other membrane remodeling factors.

Interspecies transfer of giant virulence-factor-like proteins in a bacterial symbiosis

The paper identifies three large virulence-factor-like proteins in a bacterial symbiosis, showing their transfer between species and potential roles in promoting cell contact and facilitating protein injection.

Viral infection collapses intracytoplasmic membrane integrity and autotrophic metabolism in ammonia-oxidizing Nitrosomonas europaea

This study characterizes a phage that infects Nitrosomonas europaea, showing it disrupts membrane integrity and autotrophic metabolism, leading to host cell lysis.

Itaconate is metabolized to 2-hydroxymethylsuccinate through a CoA-independent degradation pathway in mitochondria

The paper identifies 2-hydroxymethylsuccinate as a product of itaconate metabolism via a CoA-independent pathway and shows tissue-specific degradation routes.

Metabolites produced by gut bacteria under anoxic conditions drive the suppression of Acinetobacter baumannii

The paper shows that gut bacteria like Klebsiella oxytoca, under anoxic conditions, suppress Acinetobacter baumannii through metabolites from specific carbohydrates like maltose.

Ablation of polysaccharide breakdown in Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron prevents cross-feeding and growth of Salmonella Typhimurium in the mouse gut

This study shows that inhibiting polysaccharide breakdown in Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron reduces cross-feeding and growth of Salmonella Typhimurium in mice.

Bacterial membrane vesicles of Pseudomonas aeruginosa activate AMPK signaling through inhibition of mitochondrial complex III

This study shows that Pseudomonas aeruginosa membrane vesicles inhibit mitochondrial complex III, activate AMPK signaling, and reduce global protein synthesis in human lung cells.

Succession of bacteria and archaea within the soil micro-food web

This study examines how bacterivorous nematodes and maize litter amendments influence bacterial and archaeal population dynamics in soil over 32 days.

Comparative analysis of the treatment-naive microbiome across rheumatic diseases to predict MTX treatment response

The paper compares microbiome composition and function across rheumatic diseases to identify microbial signatures predicting methotrexate response in RA and PsA.

Multi-omics analysis reveals the molecular response to heat stress in a "red tide" dinoflagellate

The paper presents a multi-omics analysis of Prorocentrum cordatum under heat stress, revealing RNA editing and exon usage regulation of biomolecules.
