Heme consists of a tetrapyrrole ring ligating an iron ion and has important roles in biological
systems. While well-known as the oxygen-binding molecule within hemoglobin of mammals …

Motivation Today, we know the function of only a small fraction of the protein sequences
predicted from genomic data. This problem is even more salient for bacteria, which …

Many universally and conditionally important genes are genomically aggregated within
clusters. Here, we introduce fai and zol, which together enable large-scale comparative …

A novel, Gram-positive, facultative anaerobe, coccoid and non-motile bacterium, designated
as CoE-012-22T was isolated from dried beef sausage (the original name in Montenegro is …

Results: To predict gene functions in bacteria, we developed SAP, a novel synteny-aware
gene function prediction tool based on protein embeddings from state-of-the-art protein …

The enterococci are a tenacious genus of bacteria that are both commensals of nearly all
land animals and hospital-associated antibiotic-resistant pathogens due to their unusual …

Enterococci have been highly adapted members of the gastrointestinal flora in a wide range
of hosts for a long time, including humans and other mammals, birds, reptiles, and insects …
