Covering: up to July 2023 Terpene cyclases (TCs) catalyze some of the most complicated
reactions in nature and are responsible for creating the skeletons of more than 95 000 …

The rapid increase in soil salinization has impacted agricultural output and poses a threat to
food security. There is an urgent need to focus on improving soil fertility and agricultural …

A lipid membrane undergoes a phase transition from fluid to gel phase upon changing
external thermodynamic conditions, such as decreasing temperature and increasing …

Climate change is threatening environmental and nutritional security. In this scenario, forage
crops and their wild relatives may contribute to maintain ecosystem services and minimize …

The cyclopropanation of unsaturated lipid acyl chains of some bacterial cell membranes is
an important survival strategy to protect the same against drastic cooling. To elucidate the …

In this review we look back on 30+ years of bacteriohopanepolyol (BHP) research within the
field of organic geochemistry. BHPs are ubiquitous, intact polar lipids in modern …

Rhizobia interact with leguminous plants in the soil to form nitrogen fixing nodules in which
rhizobia and plant cells coexist. Although there are emerging studies on rhizobium …

Organisms dwelling in ocean trenches are exposed to the high hydrostatic pressure of
ocean water. Increasing pressure can alter the membrane packing density and fluidity and …

The outer membrane (OM) is an essential component of the Gram‐negative bacterial cell
envelope. Restricted diffusion of integral OM proteins and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) that …

Living organisms are often exposed to extreme dehydration, which is detrimental to the
