It was further confirmed the stimulatory effect of M. loti-derived eCA on microalgae, highlighting key carbon metabolic pathways, including the Calvin cycle, TCA cycle and antioxidant defense response.

The ubiquitously distributed ammonia-oxidizing archaea generate energy from ammonia and build cell mass from inorganic carbon sources, thereby contributing to both the global nitrogen and carbon cycles. However, little is known about the regulation of their predicted core carbon metabolism. A the...

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...

The marine labile dissolved organic carbon (DOC) pool is a dynamic reservoir of thousands of molecules. After excretion or release by phytoplankton and other microbes, metabolites are rapidly consumed, resulting in very low standing concentrations (picomolar to low nanomolar). To date, marine phy...

Forest management in giant panda habitats necessitates strategies that simultaneously support biodiversity and ecosystem carbon sequestration. Here, we demonstrate that protecting understory vegetation is indispensable for sustaining the soil carbon sink in restored subalpine coniferous plantatio...

Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) storage roots exhibit significant variation in starch content among cultivars, yet the metabolic and molecular mechanisms governing carbon allocation between storage and structural components remain poorly understood. Here, we investigated carbon partitioning in...

BACKGROUND: SLE is a complex autoimmune disease with deleterious effects on various organs. Accumulating evidence has shown abnormal vitamin B12 and one-carbon flux contribute to immune dysfunction. Transcobalamin II (TCN2) belongs to the vitamin B12-binding protein family respon...
