    Host–microbe metabolic dialogue

    Metabolomics and feeding experiments demonstrate the host’s active role in sharing organic acids with a gut microbiota member, revealing host–microbe interactions that foster symbiosis.

    Verrucomicrobia use hundreds of enzymes to digest the algal polysaccharide fucoidan

    Brown algae are important players in the global carbon cycle by fixing carbon dioxide into 1 Gt of biomass annually, yet the fate of fucoidan—their major cell wall polysaccharide—remains poorly understood. Mic...

    Spatial metabolomics of in situ host–microbe interactions at the micrometre scale

    Spatial metabolomics describes the location and chemistry of small molecules involved in metabolic phenotypes, defence molecules and chemical interactions in natural communities. Most current techniques are un...

    Two intracellular and cell type-specific bacterial symbionts in the placozoan Trichoplax H2

    Placozoa is an enigmatic phylum of simple, microscopic, marine metazoans1,2. Although intracellular bacteria have been found in all members of this phylum, almost nothing is known about their identity, location a...

    Role of N-terminal protein formylation in central metabolic processes in Staphylococcus aureus

    Bacterial protein biosynthesis usually depends on a formylated methionyl start tRNA but Staphylococcus aureus is viable in the absence of Fmt, the tRNAMet formyl transferase. fmt mutants exhibit reduced growth ra...
