SUMMARYRNA modifications in the tRNA, rRNA, and mRNA constitute a widespread layer of post-transcriptional gene regulation, commonly known as the epitranscriptome. In bacteria, tRNA and rRNA modifications are well documented and play essent...
Helicobacter pylori geographic variation: a window into global differences in gastric cancer incidence [0.03%]

SUMMARYHelicobacter pylori infection is the strongest known risk factor for gastric cancer, a leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. There is marked global geographic variation in both the incidence of gastric cancer and genetic ...
Lifestyle plasticity and the shared hypocrealean toolkit across Fusarium, Metarhizium, and Trichoderma [0.03%]

SUMMARYFungi in the genera Fusarium, Metarhizium, and Trichoderma (FMT) are traditionally defined by their roles as plant pathogens, insect pathogens, and mycoparasites, respectively. However, these classifications obscure both their shared...
LD-transpeptidation in bacterial cell walls: biochemical principles and functional diversity [0.03%]

SUMMARYPeptidoglycan (PG) is a dynamic, load-bearing polymer whose crosslinking chemistry governs envelope mechanics, growth modes, and stress tolerance. For decades, PG crosslinking was viewed primarily through the lens of penicillin-bindi...

SUMMARYMendel's Law of Segregation posits an equal probability for each allele to be inherited during sexual reproduction. This process, however, is subverted by killer meiotic drivers (KMDs)-selfish genetic elements that enhance their own ...
From dividing to dormant: embracing the full activity spectrum for environmental microorganisms [0.03%]
从划分到休眠:拥抱环境微生物完整活性谱系

SUMMARYMicroorganisms can cope with stress by entering dormancy, a viable state of reduced metabolic activity that enables persistence, dispersal, and long-term survival. However, microbial life in environmental systems is best understood a...

SUMMARYReptiles are a diverse and speciose class of animals that are broadly threatened by habitat loss, climate change, and other factors. From a microbiological perspective, reptiles have historically been examined as a source of disease,...
Overcoming the energy-dependent barrier to aminoglycoside uptake: multimodal strategies to sensitize Staphylococcus aureus persisters [0.03%]
克服氨基糖苷类药物摄取的能耗依赖性屏障:用于使耐药金黄色葡萄球菌休眠体敏感多模态策略
