#Bacterial acquisition of #zinc. @Ignacio_Luque_R @cyanofur &co reveal that a previously unstudied exoprotein from #cyanobacteria is an ancient system for Zn2+ acquisition that has been well conserved for billions of years #PLOSBiologyhttps://plos.io/3PkyfBU
As we (humans) get to grips with how to scale up #hydrogen as an energy source (and for energy storage) and as part replacement for #fossilfuels, this new research (once again) shows that #microbes have beaten us to it and evolved their own solutions for energy - in this case using hydrogen power.
This new research in Nature Microbiology explores how hydrogen in seawater supports growth of multiple and diverse #bacterial species.
Fof those (like me) in #Melbourne , you may be interested that the research also includes study of this process within #PortPhillipBay sediments.
Genetic, biochemical and structural studies provide insights into the function of Escherichia coli CapRelSJ46 as a fused anti-phage toxin–antitoxin system that binds SECΦ27 Gp57 capsid protein.
Abstract. Quick growth restart after upon encountering favourable environmental conditions is a major fitness contributor in natural environment. It is widely a
