Organisms within all domains of life require the cofactor cobalamin (vitamin B12), which is
produced only by a subset of bacteria and archaea. On the basis of genomic analyses …

Cobamides are required by most organisms but are only produced by specific prokaryotic
taxa. These commonly shared cofactors play significant roles in shaping the microbial …

Stroke is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. It inflicts immeasurable
suffering on patients and their loved ones and carries an immense social cost. Efforts to …

Vitamin B12 (cobalamin) is required by humans and other organisms for diverse metabolic
processes, although only a subset of prokaryotes is capable of synthesizing B12 and other …

The skin microbiome is a key player in human health, with diverse functions ranging from
