This study shows that mosquito larvae rely on gut microbiota for energy production, nitrogen excretion, and sterol metabolism, with bacterial vitamins and fatty acid degradation playing critical roles in larval development.

This study shows that glutathione is essential for survival and recovery from long-term nitrogen starvation in E. coli by regulating Hfq condensate dynamics.

The paper shows that transcription attenuation modulates both burst size and frequency from a σ70 promoter, challenging previous views on frequency modulation and revealing cross-feeding as a strategy for controlling gene expression variation.

This study shows that Hfq condensation in E. coli during nitrogen starvation inhibits carbon assimilation and stabilizes regulatory RNAs.

The paper investigates how GlnK and GlnB regulate glutamine synthetase activity in E. coli during nitrogen starvation and upshift using experiments and a biochemical model.
