Sulfur is an essential element for microorganisms and it can be obtained from varied
compounds, sulfate being the preferred source. The first step for sulfate assimilation, sulfate …

Phosphate is an essential component of life and must be actively transported into cells
against its electrochemical gradient. In vertebrates, two unrelated families of Na+-dependent …

Sugarcane is the leading economic crop in China, requires huge quantities of nitrogen in the
preliminary plant growth stages. However, the use of an enormous amount of nitrogen …

Our ability to predict, control, or design biological function is fundamentally limited by poorly
annotated gene function. This can be particularly challenging in non-model systems …

In the current study, we aimed to elucidate the plant growth-promoting characteristics of
Pseudomonas psychrotolerans CS51 under heavy metal stress conditions (Zn, Cu, and Cd) …

Escherichia coli contains two major systems for transporting inorganic phosphate (Pi). The
low-affinity Pi transporter (pitA) is expressed constitutively and is dependent on the proton …

The first step in the sulfate reduction pathway is the transport of sulfate across the cell
membrane. This uptake has a major effect on sulfate reduction rates. Much of the information …

Listeria monocytogenes (Lm) is a Gram-positive facultative intracellular pathogen that leads
a biphasic lifecycle, transitioning its metabolism and selectively inducing virulence genes …

Bacillus subtilis can use methionine as the sole sulfur source, indicating an efficient
conversion of methionine to cysteine. To characterize this pathway, the enzymatic activities …

Zosteric acid (ZA) is a Zostera species-derived, sulfated phenolic acid compound with
antifouling activity and has gained much attention due to its nontoxic and biodegradable …
