Anaerobic #ciliates often harbor #methanogens as endosymbionts that consume #H2 produced by the host. Methanogens can be picked up from the environment and transferred via mixed-mode transmission. They also glow in UV😍 The ISME Journal Dr. Roxanne Beinart (she/her/hers) academic.oup.com/ismej/article/…
Some #eukaryotes do not have #mitochondria. The first known such eukaryote, Monocercomonoides exilis, replaced the mitochondrial FeS cluster assembly with a bacterial cytosolic SUF system. The study shows the putative molecular mechanism of this system. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
#Archaea collaborate to degrade #hydrocarbons into #methane The thermophilic Hadaerchaeota degrades #hexadecane into #CO2, #H2, and acetate using the Acr enzyme. These products are then utilized by conventional #methanogens to produce #CH4. Nature Communications nature.com/articles/s4146…
Today in @nature, we discover a new enzyme in mammalian taurine metabolism- and uncover a chemical connection between diet, genetics, and body weight. Congrats Wei Wei (魏伟) Sarafan ChEM-H Stanford Pathology Michael Fischbach Cholsoon Jang SvenssonLab Lingyin Li Lab nature.com/articles/s4158…
Astăzi, de Ziua Limbii Române, l-am salutat la Chișinău pe Președintele Klaus Iohannis. De la grădinițe și școli renovate la energie electrică și poduri, România ne este mereu alături. Pentru cooperarea excelentă din ultimii 4 ani, vă mulțumim, domnule Președinte!
#UTSW biochemist Zhijian "James" Chen, Ph.D., wins the Albert Lasker Basic Medical Research Award, sometimes called “America’s Nobel,” for his discovery of the cGAS enzyme, which senses invading pathogens and triggers immune response. bit.ly/3MQjHIr Lasker Foundation
