MatE transporter affects methane metabolism in Methermicoccus shengliensis and is modulated by methoxylated aromatic compounds.

Methoxylated aromatic compounds, are abundant in subsurface ecosystems. Recently, it was discovered that Methermicoccus shengliensis can convert methoxylated aromatics to methane. Specifically, the MATE family transporters (MatE) and transduction-like protein (Tlp) were hypothesized to play a crucial role in substrate transport.

The biological function of and its application in animal husbandry: a review.

, is a herbaceous plant of the Asteraceae family which is a traditional Chinese herbal medicine. It is often used for dehumidification, antiemetics, spleen strengthening and antipyretic effects. is rich in various bio-active substances and has many biological functions, for instance anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and antiviral effects.

Insights into the catalytic mechanism of archaeal peptidoglycan endoisopeptidases from methanogenic phages.

Archaeal peptidoglycan, a crucial component of the cell walls of Methanobacteria and Methanopyri, enhances the tightness of methanogenic cells and their resistance to known lytic enzymes and antibiotics. Although archaeal peptidoglycan endoisopeptidases (Pei) can reportedly degrade archaeal peptidoglycan, their biochemistry is still largely unknown. In this study, we investigated the activity and catalytic properties of the endoisopeptidases PeiW and PeiP using synthesized isopeptides identical to natural substrates.

The biological function of spp. and its application in poultry, fish and livestock.

species is an angiosperm plant in the Urticaceae family. It serves as a traditional food and medicinal herb, possessing high nutritional value and various bioactive compounds, including polysaccharides, flavonoids, and polyphenolic compounds. In the realm of animal feeds, spp.

The novel regulator HdrR controls the transcription of the heterodisulfide reductase operon in .

Methanogenic archaea play a key role in the global carbon cycle because these microorganisms remineralize organic compounds in various anaerobic environments. The microorganism is a metabolically versatile methanogen, which can utilize acetate, methanol, and H/CO to synthesize methane. However, the regulatory mechanisms underlying methanogenesis for different substrates remain unknown.
