The metabolite 2-oxoglutarate (also known as α-ketoglutarate, 2-ketoglutaric acid, or
oxoglutaric acid) lies at the intersection between the carbon and nitrogen metabolic …

A typical marine bacterial cell in coastal seawater contains only∼ 200 molecules of mRNA,
each of which lasts only a few minutes before being degraded. Such a surprisingly small …

Ocean viruses are abundant and infect 20–40% of surface microbes. Infected cells, termed
virocells, are thus a predominant microbial state. Yet, virocells and their ecosystem impacts …

The stringent response to amino acid starvation, whereby stable RNA synthesis is curtailed
in favour of transcription of amino acid biosynthetic genes, is controlled by the alarmone …

A key unmet need in metabolomics is the ability to efficiently quantify a large number of
known cellular metabolites. Here we present a liquid chromatography (LC)–electrospray …

An overview was made to understand the regulation system of a bacterial cell such as
Escherichia coli in response to nutrient limitation such as carbon, nitrogen, phosphate …

The dissemination of plasmid-borne antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in wastewater is
becoming an urgent concern. Previous studies mainly focused on the effects of coexisting …

Viruses influence the fate of nutrients and human health by killing microorganisms and
altering metabolic processes. Organosulfur metabolism and biologically derived hydrogen …

IscR is an iron‐sulphur (Fe‐S) cluster‐containing transcription factor that represses
transcription of the operon containing its own gene and the iscSUA‐hscBA‐fdx genes …

Osmotic stress is known to increase the thermotolerance and oxidative-stress resistance of
bacteria by a mechanism that is not adequately understood. We probed the cross-regulation …
