Bacterial growth substrates influence a variety of biological functions, including the biosynthesis and regulation of lipid intermediates. The extent of this rewiring is not well understood nor has it been considered in the context of virally-infected cells. Here, we use a one-host-two-temperate ...
We used time-resolved metabolic footprinting, an important technical approach used to monitor changes in extracellular compound concentrations during microbial growth, to study the order of substrate utilization (i.e., substrate preferences) and kinetics of a fast-growing soil isolate, Parabu...
Background:
Primary succession is predicted to proceed through shifts from stress-tolerant to competitive to cooperative ecological strategies as resource availability increases, yet molecular evidence for these transitions in microbial systems remains limited. Here, we used an integrated m...
Barth syndrome (BTHS) is a rare X-linked recessively inherited disorder caused by variants in the TAFAZZIN gene. The pathogenic variants lead to impaired conversion of monolysocardiolipin (MLCL) into mature phospholipid cardiolipin (CL). The accumulation of MLCL and mature CL deficiency is a diag...
Background The intestinal microbiota, metabolites, and quorum-sensing (QS) functions of laying hens under different proportions of fermented Cordyceps militaris mushroom substrate (CMMS) replacement diets are critical for their production performance and health. However, the changes in the intest...
