Protists in the Insect Rearing Industry: Benign Passengers or Potential Risk?
(MDPI, 21 May 2022)As the insects for food and feed industry grows, a new understanding of the industrially reared insect microbiome is needed to better comprehend the role that it plays in both maintaining insect health and generating ... -
An archaellum filament composed of two alternating subunits
(Nature Research, 7 February 2022)Archaea use a molecular machine, called the archaellum, to swim. The archaellum consists of an ATP-powered intracellular motor that drives the rotation of an extracellular filament composed of multiple copies of proteins ... -
Sisters doing it for themselves: extensive reproductive plasticity in workers of a primitively eusocial bee
(Springer, 23 June 2022)Plasticity is a key trait when an individual’s role in the social environment, and hence its optimum phenotype, fluctuates unpredictably. Plasticity is especially important in primitively eusocial insects where small colony ... -
Insights into the atypical autokinase activity of the Pseudomonas aeruginosa GacS histidine kinase and its interaction with RetS
(Elsevier, 28 June 2022)Virulence in Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) depends on complex regulatory networks, involving phophosphorelay systems based on two-component systems (TCSs). The GacS/GacA TCS is a master regulator of biofilm formation, ... -
Priorities to inform research on marine plastic pollution in Southeast Asia
(Elsevier, 17 June 2022)Southeast Asia is considered to have some of the highest levels of marine plastic pollution in the world. It is therefore vitally important to increase our understanding of the impacts and risks of plastic pollution to ...
