This paper gives an overview of the recent advances in engineering the central carbon
metabolism of the industrially important bacteria Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis …

Acetate is a major byproduct of the bioconversion of the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide,
pretreatment of lignocellulose biomass, and microbial fermentation. The utilization and …

Dendritic cells (DCs) have a role in the development and activation of self-reactive
pathogenic T cells,. Genetic variants that are associated with the function of DCs have been …

Deltaproteobacteria, now proposed to be the phyla Desulfobacterota, Myxococcota, and
SAR324, are ubiquitous in marine environments and play essential roles in global carbon …

Intrusion of salinity and petroleum hydrocarbons (eg, benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and
xylenes, BTEX) into shallow groundwater by so-called'produced water'(the water associated …

During aerobic growth on glucose, Escherichia coli excretes acetate, a mechanism called
“overflow metabolism.” At high concentrations, the secreted acetate inhibits growth. Several …

Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) comprise a widespread bacterial group, inhabiting the niches of
fermented vegetables and capable of producing beneficial organic acids. In the present …

How systemic metabolic alterations during acute infections impact immune cell function
remains poorly understood. We found that acetate accumulates in the serum within hours of …

In the post-COVID-19 pandemic era, various antimicrobials have emerged and concentrated
in waste-activated sludge (WAS), affecting the biological treatment of WAS. However, there …

Escherichia coli excretes acetate upon growth on fermentable sugars, but the regulation of
this production remains elusive. Acetate excretion on excess glucose is thought to be an …
