This study identifies a link between circadian temperature compensation and metabolic redox signaling, showing that metabolic sensing modulates the core circadian mechanism to maintain period stability across temperatures.

This study identifies microorganisms capable of catabolizing atypical sugar enantiomers, revealing metabolic diversity and ecological relevance beyond the traditional D-form preference.

This study isolates bacteria capable of catabolizing abiotically synthesized tetroses, which are not metabolized by common microorganisms.
