Molecular sources of monoterpenoid chemodiversity in the Asteraceae Tanacetum vulgare suggest a new model for the evolution of specialized metabolism

Marvin Hildebrandt, Bianca Laker, Dominik Ziaja, Elisabeth J. Eilers, Prisca Viehöver, Ruth Jakobs, Stephan Christian Hammer, Tobias Busche, Marion Eisenhut, Caroline Müller, Andrea Bräutigam

The paper identifies molecular mechanisms driving chemodiversity in Tanacetum vulgare, proposing a new model where chemodiversity is selected for at the population level rather than being a reservoir for later selection.

Glycogen deficiency impairs diurnal energy metabolism and cell division in Synechocystis

Jan Matthis Hofer, Tim Schulze, Lennart Witting, Bianca Laker, Stephan Krueger, Philipp Westhoff, Dietrich Kohlheyer, Andreas P.M. Weber, Marion Eisenhut

This study shows glycogen deficiency in Synechocystis disrupts day-night energy and redox balance, leading to growth delays and metabolic constraints.

Tuning into xanthan: A conserved yet flexible polysaccharide utilization system in Microbacterium

Bianca Laker, Michael C Thomas, Wiebke Weber, Prisca Viehöver, Anja Meierhenrich, Levin Joe Klages, Tobias Busche, Karsten Niehaus, Andrea Bräutigam, Marion Eisenhut

This study identifies and characterizes the genetic and regulatory mechanisms of xanthan utilization in Microbacterium xanthanicum UB-LE1, revealing conserved and lineage-specific features of this polysaccharide degradation system.
