Bacterial production of gaseous hydrocarbons such as ethylene and methane affects soil environments atmospheric climate. We demonstrate that biogenic from terrestrial freshwater bacteria are directly produced by a previously unknown methionine biosynthesis pathway. This pathway, present in numerous species, uses nitrogenase-like reductase is distinct known nitrogenases reductases specifically functions C-S bond breakage to reduce ubiquitous appreciable volatile organic sulfur compounds...
Human norovirus is the primary cause of non-bacterial gastroenteritis globally and second leading diarrheal deaths in children developing countries. However, effective therapeutics which prevent or clear infection are not yet available due to a lack understanding regarding pathogenesis. Evidence shows that noroviruses can bind surface commensal bacteria, presence these bacteria alters both acute persistent murine through modulation host immune responses. Interestingly, norovirus-bacterial...
