The stromal side of the cytochrome b6f complex regulates state transitions.

In oxygenic photosynthesis, state transitions distribute light energy between PSI and PSII. This regulation involves reduction of the plastoquinone pool, activation of the state transitions 7 (STT7) protein kinase by the cytochrome (cyt) b6f complex, and phosphorylation and migration of light harvesting complexes II (LHCII). In this study, we show that in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, the C-terminus of the cyt b6 subunit PetB acts on phosphorylation of STT7 and state transitions.

A longitudinal study of the effect of temperature modification in full-scale anaerobic digesters - dataset combining 16S rDNA gene sequencing, metagenomics, and metabolomics data.

Data in this article provides detailed information on the microbial dynamics and degradation performances in two full-scale anaerobic digesters operated in parallel for 476 days. One of them was kept at 35 °C for the whole experiment, while the other was submitted to sub-mesophilic (25 °C) conditions between days 123 and 373. Sludge samples were collected from both digesters at days 0, 80, 177, 218, 281, 353, and 462.

Metataxonomics, metagenomics and metabolomics analysis of the influence of temperature modification in full-scale anaerobic digesters.

Full-scale anaerobic digesters' performance is regulated by modifying their operational conditions, but little is known about how these modifications affect their microbiome. In this work, we monitored two originally mesophilic (35 °C) full-scale anaerobic digesters during 476 days. One digester was submitted to sub-mesophilic (25 °C) conditions between days 123 and 373.

Integrative Analyses to Investigate the Link between Microbial Activity and Metabolite Degradation during Anaerobic Digestion.

Anaerobic digestion (AD) is a promising biological process that converts waste into sustainable energy. To fully exploit AD's capability, we need to deepen our knowledge of the microbiota involved in this complex bioprocess. High-throughput methodologies open new perspectives to investigate the AD process at the molecular level, supported by recent data integration methodologies to extract relevant information.

Colonization kinetics and implantation follow-up of the sewage microbiome in an urban wastewater treatment plant.

The Seine-Morée wastewater treatment plant (SM_WWTP), with a capacity of 100,000 population-equivalents, was fed with raw domestic wastewater during all of its start-up phase. Its microbiome resulted from the spontaneous evolution of wastewater-borne microorganisms. This rare opportunity allowed us to analyze the sequential microbiota colonization and implantation follow up during the start-up phase of this WWTP by means of regular sampling carried out over 8 months until the establishment of a stable and functional ecosystem.
