Major advances over the past decade in field of ancient DNA are providing access to paleogenomic diversity, but diverse functions and biosynthetic capabilities this growing paleome remain largely elusive. We investigated dental calculus 12 Neanderthals 52 anatomically modern humans ranging from 100,000 years ago present reconstructed 459 bacterial metagenome-assembled genomes. identified a gene cluster shared by seven Middle Upper Paleolithic individuals that allows for heterologous...
Bacteria are social organisms, which constantly exposed to predation by nematodes or amoebae. To counteract these pressures, bacteria have evolved a variety of potent antipredator strategies. the genus Pseudomonas, for instance, evade amoebal secretion amoebicidal natural products. The soil bacterium Pseudomonas fluorescens HKI0770 produces pyreudione alkaloids that can kill Even though mode action pyreudiones has been elucidated, spatiotemporal dynamics underlying this predator-prey...

Naturally occurring fluorescence has been observed in multiple species ranging from bacteria to birds. In macroscopic animals such as birds, provides a visual communication signal. However, the functional significance of this phenomenon is unknown most cases. Though photoprotection attributed under ultraviolet (UV) light some organisms, it lacks direct experimental evidence. Here, we demonstrate naturally UV eutardigrade belonging genus Paramacrobiotus. Using natural variant that...

A couple of years ago, Japanese scientists thawed a frozen moss sample from Antarctica collected 30 earlier. They observed two minute creatures crawling back to life three decades 'cryo-sleep' inside the sample. These tiny time-travellers were tardigrades, also known as water bears. have four pairs legs and their body size is about 0.3-1 mm (Figure 1). There are more than thousand species tardigrades which thrive in freshwater, marine limno-terrestrial environments. Though most them an...
Abstract Naturally occurring fluorescence has been observed in multiple species ranging from bacteria to birds. In macroscopic animals such as birds and fishes, provides a visual communication signal. However, the functional significance of this phenomenon is not known most cases. Though photoprotection attributed under ultraviolet (UV) light some organisms, it lacks direct experimental evidence. Here, we have identified new eutardigrade belonging genus Paramacrobiotus , which exhibits UV...
