This study identifies the fatty acid synthesis pathway as a key regulator of lipoteichoic acid synthesis in Staphylococcus aureus by controlling glycerophosphate availability.

This study shows that Campylobacter jejuni Bf extracellular vesicles help the bacteria adapt and survive under combined thermal and oxidative stress by altering membrane composition and increasing toxicity to epithelial cells.

This paper shows that 2,4-dienoyl-CoA reductase (FadH) is essential for E. coli to degrade unsaturated fatty acids in complex mixtures and that eukaryotic DECR enzymes can functionally replace FadH.
