Anoxic live-cell imaging shows actin-dependent crawling motility and dynamic protrusions in Asgard archaea, providing insights into cellular innovations that may have contributed to eukaryotic evoluti...

I grew up in a small town, Wauseon, in the northwest corner of Ohio. Although I enjoyed science and math classes in high school, a career in research and academia never crossed my mind. I worked for s...

Symbiotic relationships of microorganisms are predicted and cataloged with a machine learning tool.

Using bioinformatics, biochemistry, NMR, as well as the newly characterized enzyme ArmA from methanogenic archaea, we revised the existing knowledge on archaeal peptidoglycan structure. At the same ti...

Nitrogenases are enzymes that convert atmospheric N2 into ammonia, thus providing bioavailable nitrogen to living organisms. Here, Maslać et al. describe a highly thermostable, simple nitrogenase from...

Strengthening Cambridge's leadership in bacteriology research Bacterial infection and antimicrobial resistance remain among the most pressing global health challenges of our time. At Cambridge, the De...

Inside cells, DNA is intimately associated with proteins, forming chromatin. The protein constituents of chromatin vary across the tree of life: histones are the principal building blocks of chromatin...

Olea-Ozuna et al. show that outer membrane lipid asymmetry acts as a checkpoint controlling lipooligosaccharide-independent survival in Acinetobacter baumannii. Disrupting phospholipid homeostasis creates a permissive state enabling LOS loss under colistin selection, while reduced PBP1A activity stabilizes this transition, defining a three-state model of envelope remodeling and resistance.

The authors show that persistent ultrafine DNA bridges become coated by membranes and the ESCRT-III proteins CHMP1B and IST1, which protect the genome within from damage.

Institut Pasteur and the CNRS are launching a joint call for a mid-career group leader position in Medicinal Chemistry and Chemistry for Health. We are looking for an experienced researcher (typically...

EMBL Hamburg / CSSB The European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) is Europe’s flagship life sciences organization, with more than 110 independent research groups across Heidelberg, Hamburg, Grenobl...

Type IV pili are dynamic surface appendages assembled by envelope-spanning nanomachines that mediate diverse bacterial interactions, yet how these systems are adapted to predatory lifestyles remains p...

The emergence of the eukaryotes coincided with the diversification of histone proteins and their post-translational modifications by enzymes that constitute the core of eukaryotic chromatin. Yet the e...

A specific isoform of PBP1b functions independently of the activator protein, LpoB, to drive generation of a wedge-like peptidoglycan structure that strengthens the division site in Escherichia coli.

SyeA was present in the Buchnera ancestor, is secreted into the host cytoplasm, is homologous to secreted effectors of bacterial pathogens and is essential for Buchnera transmission.

Animals encode a rapidly evolving, essential cell cycle gene previously thought to be absent.

The Candidate Phyla Radiation (CPR) represents a bacterial superphylum estimated to include between 15–50% of all bacterial species, yet CPR bacteria remain challenging to culture and have been primar...

Archaea kill bacteria, at least on occasion. The molecular underpinnings of these lethal interactions are barely understood. Here, we describe cinquedea, an α/β hydrolase secreted by the halophilic ar...

The French-Iranian artist and film director 'died of sadness a little over a year after the death of Mattias Ripa, her husband and the love of her life,' people close to her said.

PhD position available in the team (Cell and Plant Physiology Lab) in Grenoble, in close collaboration with Prof Patrick Keeling from Univ. of British Columbia (Canada), Liz Cooney (Photosymbiosis tea...

Nature - Integrated palaeontological, sedimentological and geochemical analyses of ancient rocks from Australia show that early eukaryotes were largely restricted to oxygenated benthic habitats,...

Prophages are pervasive in the human gut yet largely overlooked in microbiome research, despite substantial functional potential. Emerging evidence indicates that prophages regulate bacterial fitness,...
