Owing to its compositional and chemical complexity, much of the gut microbiota metabolome remains poorly characterized. Aromatic amino acids (AAAs) have a history of being privileged substrates for the biosynthesis of diverse bioactive metabolites and thus represent a potentially rich source of b...
Medulloblastomas (MBs) are malignant pediatric brain tumors that are molecularly and clinically very heterogenous. The application of omics technologies - mainly studying nucleic acids - has significantly improved MB classification and stratification, but treatment options are still unsatisfactor...
Tomato mottle mosaic virus (ToMMV) is a major threat to cultivating tomatoes and other solanaceous plants. Here, an infectious clone of the ToMMV Huludao isolate was constructed, and ToMMV infection significantly reduces soluble sugar, soluble phenolic and vitamin C ...
Chromochloris zofingiensis has been proved as a potential resource for large-scale astaxanthin production, but little information of phytohormones on growth and astaxanthin accumulation could be obtained. This study explored the impact of gibberellic acid-3 (GA3) on growth and astaxanthin generat...
Clavulanic acid (CA) is the preferred clinical drug for the treatment of infections by β-lactam antibiotic-resistant bacteria. CA is produced by Streptomyces clavuligerus, and although there have been many reports on the effects of carbon and nitrogen sources on CA production, the mechan...
Cold stress negatively affects maize (Zea mays L.) growth, development and yield. Metabolic adjustments contribute to the adaptation of maize under cold stress. We show here that the transcription factor INDUCER OF CBF EXPRESSION 1 (ZmICE1) plays a prominent role in reprogramming amino a...
In natural environments, photosynthetic organisms adjust their metabolism to cope with the fluctuating availability of combined nitrogen sources, a growth-limiting factor. For acclimation, the dynamic degradation/synthesis of tetrapyrrolic pigments, as well as of the amino acid arginine, is ...
