UNCOVERING WOLBACHIA DIVERSITY UPON ARTIFICIAL HOST TRANSFER.

Uncovering Wolbachia diversity upon artificial host transfer.

The common endosymbiotic Wolbachia bacteria influence arthropod hosts in multiple ways.They are mostly recognized for their manipulations of host reproduction, yet, more recent studies demonstrate that Wolbachia also impact host behavior, metabolic pathways and immunity.Besides their biological and evolutionary roles, Wolbachia are new potential bi

A singular PpaA/AerR-like protein in Rhodospirillum rubrum rules beyond the boundaries of photosynthesis in response to the intracellular redox state

ABSTRACT Photosynthesis (PS) in purple non-Sulfur bacteria (PNSB) is strictly controlled to avoid energy consumption and to prevent oxidative stress when oxygen is present.PpsR, a transcriptional repressor encoded in the photosynthesis gene cluster (PGC), is one of the main players in the regulation of PS-related genes.In some cases, PpsR does not
