Bacteria use chemotaxis to migrate towards environments that are better for growth.
Chemoreceptors detect changes in attractant levels and signal through two-component …

Terpenoid flavor and fragrance compounds are of high interest to the aroma industry.
Microbial production offers an alternative sustainable access to the desired terpenoids …

Proteins in bacteria often deploy to particular places within the cell, but the cues for
localization are frequently mysterious. We found that the peripheral membrane protein …

This study investigated the alterations in biomass, nutrients and dissolved organic matter
concentration in overlying water and determined the bacterial 16S rRNA gene in biofilms …

Microorganisms can produce renewable energy in large quantities and without damaging
the environment or disrupting food supply. The microbial communities must be robust and …

Aerobic respiration in bacteria, Archaea, and mitochondria is performed by oxygen
reductase members of the heme-copper oxidoreductase superfamily. These enzymes are …

Microbial cell factories are the workhorses of industrial biotechnology and improving their
performances can significantly optimize industrial bioprocesses. Microbial strain …
