One of the most widespread coral diseases linked to anthropogenic activities and recorded on reefs worldwide is characterized by anomalous growth formations in stony corals, referred to as coral growth anomalies (GAs). The biological functi...
Early-life chemical exposome and gut microbiome development: African research perspectives within a global environmental health context [0.03%]

The gut microbiome of neonates, infants, and toddlers (NITs) is very dynamic, and only begins to stabilize towards the third year of life. Within this period, exposure to xenobiotics may perturb the gut environment, thereby driving or contr...
Exploiting phage-derived carbohydrate depolymerases for combating infectious diseases [0.03%]
利用噬菌体衍生的碳水化合物降解酶对抗传染病

Bacteria are protected against the immune system of their human hosts, as well as against predators such as phages, by expressing diverse surface carbohydrates. Some phages produce specialized depolymerases which can degrade those carbohydr...
The pks island: a bacterial Swiss army knife? Colibactin: beyond DNA damage and cancer [0.03%]
PKS岛:细菌多功能工具? colibactin:超越DNA损伤与致癌性

Camille V Chagneau et al.
The structure and mode of action of colibactin with its potential involvement in cancer have been extensively studied but little is known about the intrinsic function of the biosynthetic gene cluster, coding for colibactin, as a bacterial g...
How human endogenous retroviruses interact with the microbiota in health and disease [0.03%]

Viruses are key members of Earth's microbiomes, shaping microbial community composition and metabolism. Here, we describe recent advances in 'soil viromics', that is, virus-focused metagenome and metatranscriptome analyses that offer unprec...
Nuclear antiviral innate responses at the intersection of DNA sensing and DNA repair [0.03%]
DNA感受和DNA修复相互作用的抗病毒先天免疫反应

The coevolution of vertebrate and mammalian hosts with DNA viruses has driven the ability of host cells to distinguish viral from cellular DNA in the nucleus to induce intrinsic immune responses. Concomitant viral mechanisms have arisen to ...

Pyrite (FeS2) is the most abundant iron sulfide mineral in Earth's crust. Until recently, FeS2 has been considered a sink for iron (Fe) and sulfur (S) at low temperature in the absence of oxygen or oxidative weathering, making these element...

Metabolic interactions between auxotrophs and prototrophs in microbial communities are understudied. Yu et al. showed how intracellular as well as intercellular metabolism affects community fitness in the absence and presence of abiotic str...
