N-linked glycosylation, a protein modification system present in all domains of life, is
characterized by a high structural diversity of N-linked glycans found among different …

Organisms capable of autotrophic metabolism assimilate inorganic carbon into organic
carbon. They form an integral part of ecosystems by making an otherwise unavailable form …

Investigations into bacterial protein glycosylation continue to progress rapidly. It is now
established that bacteria possess both N-linked and O-linked glycosylation pathways that …

Lithotrophic sulfur oxidation is an ancient metabolic process. Ecologically and taxonomically
diverged prokaryotes have differential abilities to utilize different reduced sulfur compounds …

Sulfur-driven autotrophic denitrification refers to the chemolithotrophic process coupling
denitrification with the oxidation of reduced inorganic sulfur compounds. Ever since 1904 …

Deep-sea environment, characterized by high pressures, extremely high/low temperatures,
limited photosynthesis-generated organic matter, darkness, and high levels of corrosion, is …

Our understanding of prokaryote–eukaryote symbioses as a source of evolutionary
innovation has been rapidly increased by the advent of genomics, which has made possible …

Sulfurimonas species are commonly isolated from sulfidic habitats and numerous 16S rRNA
sequences related to Sulfurimonas species have been identified in chemically distinct …

Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) affects approximately 5% of the adult population in Western
societies and severely reduces the patient's quality of life. The role of bacteria in the …

The mechanisms by which bacterial cells generate helical cell shape and its functional role
are poorly understood. Helical shape of the human pathogen Helicobacter pylori may …
