RNA and membraneless organelles Membraneless compartments can form in cells through liquidliquid phase separation (see the Perspective by Polymenidou). But what prevents these cellular condensates from randomly fusing together? Using RNA-binding protein (RBP) Whi3, Langdon et al. demonstrated that secondary structure of different components determines distinct biophysical biological properties two types Whi3 forms. Several RBPs, such as FUS TDP43, contain prion-like domains are linked to...
Cells, from microbes to mammals, adapt their membrane lipid composition in response environmental changes maintain optimal properties. Global patterns of lipidome remodeling are poorly understood, particularly organisms with simple compositions that can provide insight into fundamental principles adaptation. Using shotgun lipidomics, we examine the yet, as show here, adaptive plant-associated Gram-negative bacterium Methylobacterium extorquens. We observe minimally 11 lipids account for 90%...
Evidence that microbial sulphate reduction is mainly responsible for the formation of natron (hydrated Na 2 CO 3 ) deposits in Wadi Natrûn presented. The infiltrating water reduced during passage through surrounding waterlogged soil and bicarbonate formed later concentrated by evaporation lakes.
Abstract Objective To explore whether utilisation of a Virtual Emergency Department (VVED) differs according to socioeconomic status (SES). Methods A retrospective analysis was undertaken data from the VVED – telehealth service that provides care for patients across Victoria, Australia with non‐life‐threatening emergencies. The study included all individuals who presented between July 2022 and June 2023 through two most common referral pathways (self‐referral ambulance referral). Area‐level...
Summary In liquid cultures of Desulphovibrio desulphuricans the effects following on sulphate reduction were determined: type cation (Ca ++ or Na + ) attached to ion; presence calcium carbonate alone and with sodium chloride; concentration sulphate, lactate initial pH. The titratable alkalinity formed as a result was found be quantitatively related reduced, apparently unaffected by strain variation energy source.
Summary In waterlogged soils sulphate reduction was characterized by increases in counts of reducers, an increase titratable alkalinity, insoluble carbonate and soluble sulphides, a decrease Ca ++ + Mg . Presence organic matter greatly enhanced reduction. A linear relationship between the amount reduced alkalinity were apparent. The potential effects on soil fertility through development are discussed.
Hopanoids and carotenoids are two of the major isoprenoid-derived lipid classes in prokaryotes that have been proposed to similar membrane ordering properties as sterols. Methylobacterium extorquens contains hopanoids their outer membrane, making them an ideal system investigate role isoprenoid lipids surface function cellular fitness. By genetically knocking out hpnE crtB we disrupted production squalene phytoene M. PA1, which presumed precursors for respectively. Deletion revealed...
