This study revisits the claim of the Entner-Doudoroff pathway in Synechocystis, showing that while the aldolase is present, the full pathway is absent due to missing enzymes and experimental errors.

This paper develops an efficient one-step enzymatic method to synthesize cyclic-2,3-diphosphoglycerate using MfcDPGS from Methanothermus fervidus, achieving high conversion efficiency and scalability.

This study identifies an unusual glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase in Sulfolobus acidocaldarius involved in glycerol degradation, showing its essential role in growth on glycerol.

This study identifies FBPase in Synechocystis as a monofunctional enzyme that supports heterotrophic growth without redox regulation, distinct from the bifunctional F/SBPase.

The paper shows that adding 5'-UTRs from S. acidocaldarius improves plasmid-based protein production, with the alba 5-UTR increasing yield fourfold.

This study identifies and characterizes a novel polyphosphate kinase in Sulfolobus acidocaldarius, revealing polyphosphate's role as an energy buffer under low energy charge.

This study shows that archaea can synthesize fatty acids using a newly identified pathway and enzyme complex, providing insights into their evolutionary lipid composition.
