Chemical characterization of soil extract as growth media for the ecophysiological study of bacteria
We investigated the composition of soil-extracted solubilized organic and inorganic matter (SESOM) prepared from three different soils. Growth of various bacterial strains in these soil extracts was evaluated ...

Regulation of acetoin and 2,3-butanediol utilization in Bacillus licheniformis
The acoABCL and acuABC operons of Bacillus licheniformis DSM13 are strongly induced at the transcriptional level during glucose starvation conditions. Primer extension analyses of this study indicate that the aco...

Open AccessFed-batch process for the psychrotolerant marine bacterium Pseudoalteromonas haloplanktis
Pseudoalteromonas haloplanktis is a cold-adapted γ-proteobacterium isolated from Antarctic sea ice. It is characterized by remarkably high growth rates at low temperatures. P. haloplanktis is one of the model org...

Open AccessRole 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...

Open AccessTwo 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...

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...

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...

Open AccessDie chemische Sprache von Symbiosen sichtbar machen
Small molecules — metabolites — provide the basis for chemical interactions between hosts and microbes. Especially in animal-microbe symbioses, the close physical interactions require a spatial organization of...

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.

Open AccessmicrobeMASST: a taxonomically informed mass spectrometry search tool for microbial metabolomics data
microbeMASST, a taxonomically informed mass spectrometry (MS) search tool, tackles limited microbial metabolite annotation in untargeted metabolomics experiments. Leveraging a curated database of >60,000 micro...
